it’s not at our expense. illegal immigrants do the jobs we don’t want to do anyway, and they contribute more to the economy than they take from it. (edit: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6])

blame the billionaires for using 24 hour news and social media to misdirect people’s anger with bigotry and fear mongering.

They even help prop up Social Security, since they pay into it but can't ever collect on it.

How about they pay decently for those jobs and provide decent working conditions and you'll have plenty of people who would want to do those jobs.

But no, we must take advantage of illegal immigrants because "nobody wants to do those jobs".
