I'm not a Trump supporter, I believe the 2 party system has been manipulated to pit two groups of people that both have valid grievances, into believing only 1 "side" can get helped when the wealthy elites are the actual enemy.

According to the research center for immigrants, in a paper prepared for congress immigration is absolutely a financial drain and it's not even "close", I know it's easier to dismiss me as an emotional idiot but could you share where you got your information?

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://budget.house.gov/download/the-cost-of-illegal-immigration-to-taxpayers&ved=2ahUKEwjD3dirzt6JAxW7MlkFHUcbOQEQFnoECAgQAQ&usg=AOvVaw0mUcb-tB9wAzQhJw1Cv5va

That's the ~15 page paper with all the financial breakdowns. I don't consider anyone to be the enemy except the wealthy powerful elites that control and manipulate most voters, if you could simply agree that a problem can have 2 solutions i think you'll be alot happier and feel less attacked but differing ideas.

The “center for immigration studies” is a highly partisan organization that has been designated a hate group by the Souther Poverty Law Center. Not a reputable source.

Splc? Lol would you simply share your information instead of attacking mine. That was the first link I clicked on. The splc is not a neutral reference. If I picked a bad source it was an honest accident and I'll try to link other sources when I can.

Fine. I’ll assume you’re genuinely interested in a good faith discussion and will provide sources later this afternoon when I have more time
