    Nobody said anything about taxes.

    We should make it easier for immigrants to pay tax regardless of status, otherwise we lose out on the tax revenue and create black markets and crime.

        Yeah, sometimes they go to great lengths to forge documents and pay taxes under somebody else’s name.

            According to you they dont pay taxes? Would be good to have a source for that claim, because taxes are paid directly or indirectly in most things done in your daily life ie, having a car, having a house, buying foods or services. So, if your problem is that despite paying taxes they are stressing too much the house supply and government funded services you will be in favour of kicking out of the country people that is legal but have too many kids? I dont think many white christian families are going to like that.

                I don’t see anywhere that anybody said that. Most of them seem to want more legal immigration, because if you make legal immigration easier, fewer people will do it though other channels.

                The harmful conduct we should actually be focusing on here is companies exploiting/abusing undocumented workers and violating labor laws whose immigration status chills them from reporting. Those companies are the real criminals here. The employees responsible, or who should’ve known, should see the inside of a jail cell, and fines should be an existential threat to the business if they do this with any regularity.

                If it’s easier to immigrate legally, and employers believe hiring undocumented workers will cost them way more than they stand to save, we’ll see a very different dynamic.

        I just cant help but laugh at your questions, does your country have vat or not? Do people not pay vat in products and services? for having a car? for having a house? from being paid a salary? If your argument is that as they are illegal they have are being paid in b im sure most of them will be happy to be legalized and pay all the taxes ;)

            Do you think illegal immigrants pay taxes?

            But you were implying illegal immigrants didnt pay taxes, do you understand what you write before sending your messages or are you just too much into a racist outrage to care.
