Political Thread: The Sequel

Thor said:
It's Wild the race card gets pulled out here by the usual people that pull it. I actually really like the Latin people that I know that have immigrated here. I think they have many of the values that us traditional Americans have lost. But liking them culturally and allowing them to prosper in this country without paying taxes or supporting the propped up goverment the way that I am forced to are separate things. Allowing entry into this country for political gain for one side is also a separate thing. Also for national security for every 100 decent people who just wants to come make a life here you get someone with other intentions that slips through, that's unacceptable. These borders were fought for with blood. If we don't respect our own borders then why would any other country respect them? We appear weaker internationally than at any time in my life.

I know you will just dismiss this. But for ----- and giggles I’ll post anyway. Illegal immigrants definitely pay taxes.

Tax Payments by Undocumented Immigrants

Undocumented immigrants paid $96.7 billion in federal, state, and local taxes in 2022. Providing access to work authorization for undocumented immigrants would increase their tax contributions both because their wages would rise and because their rates of tax compliance would increase.

"though the left-of-center Pew Research Center has described ITEP as a “liberal think tank.”

Yeah because they are so great at tracking "Undocumented" immigrants

It's amazing what is happening in Gainesville. It was going on when I was a kid but nothing like today.

My favorite part of that video is when they come across the Indians and they have a piece of paper that says "Chicago" and they said they are with Congress.

Doesn't take a genius to realize what's happening there.

I grew up in flowery branch! it started in the 90's I had the chance to see every part of that city and the houses and meet the ppl working with charter communications.. The brown ppl as someone said almost always seemed nice and kind till 5-10yrs ago.. something started to change.
going to assume someone's planting the seeds of hate using the great propaganda machine ..

you see the hate everywhere now seems ppl are unable to mind their own business everyone has to interject themselves into every action idea and remember if its violent don't help! recorded it lol

I grew up in Gainesville but two houses down was flowery Branch in South Hall so I saw the same things you did in the '90s. Did you go to West Hall? I went to Johnson high School.

Or maybe they are just reacting to how so many on the right view them as dirty rapist and murderers who don't pay taxes and destroy their surroundings?

That's not propaganda that's reality to how they are seen by maga......which started what oh about 5-10 years ago?

You do understand the gap here right? In order for there to be data for this article at some point they had to be documented in order for taxes to be paid. Which make the premise of this article, how can I say this, in the words of Sheldon Cooper, hokum.

I did not see that or if I did I forgot about it. I went off to college and never came back. Definitely doesn't surprise me though.
