They also pay taxes but don’t receive benefits. It’s a terrible idea to send them away.

Being against illegal immigration is not the same thing as being anti-immigration.

A simple solution to deal with undocumented immigrants is to document them

Fun Fact (or maybe not so fun fact depending on how you look at it): Some landlords actually want to lease to undocumented immigrants, because they are much less likely to cause issues, file complaints, or commit crimes.

(Also because they tend to pay cash so the landlord can under report their income...)

Well of course if you just do a pure 1:1 comparison of numbers citizens will have higher numbers. There's more of us!

If you do per capita, however…

Yeah it's still citizens.
