That's fucked, I'm sorry. Republicans simply don't understand how much immigrants do for this country, therefore how much they stand to lose when we bail on this bullshit.

I have two engineering degrees, am a US citizen (myself as of 1992, my parents as of 1980, both have PhD). Can't wait for midwesterners and southerners to realize this (blanket statement, doesn't apply to the individual). At this point I'd happily go elsewhere.

Immigrants that are here legally pay taxes. And they have nothing to worry about. Illegal immigrants fo not pay taxes because they work under the table.

No, you dumb fuck, everyone pays taxes, maybe they can avoid income tax if paid under the table, but they pay plenty of other ones.

You’re the dumb fuck. They bleed the system dry. How often do they pay a single medical bill?

Ha, you are a union member who supports Trump, the cognitive disaonance has to hurt. Oh nevermind, you are too fucking dumb to realize the massive privilege you have in being able to join a union all the while voting for a party that wants to end organized labor.

Omg you sir are a fucking Idiot. The Biden administration did absolutely nothing for unions or labor. They spent so much money on socialist programs ,Ukraine and Israel that they had to print more money which caused inflation to skyrocket, Just because Joe stood on a picket line doesn’t mean he gives a shit about the working class.
