glaring things that low-IQ graphic misses, Juan is in the country, paying sales taxes, and of the 11.1 million here, roughly 8 million are employed, and roughly 3.4 million pay taxes every year.

If Juan has kids born on US soil tax payers are buying a lot of his food, paying for his children's healthcare, and a portion of his rent.

8 million are employed and less than half are paying taxes?

You lay that out there like it's a good thing but we're the low IQ folks.

Don't think you will find me saying the current situation is ideal, so we can drop that nonsense right now.

Clearly many work under the table and are not paying income taxes, but will be paying sales taxes and other indirect consumption taxes. That discretion is a problem for a number of reasons. You can deal with that in a number of ways. Some way more reasonable then others.

But an onslaught of low-IQ framings of the problem that lead to things like the OP clamoring for turrets and walls that don't actually address the biggest problem doesn't help anything.

That lines up with the claim that more than half of illegals don't pay taxes but still file income tax returns to get tax credits (I'm guessing for their nine ninos), gaming the system.

Remember that you can file an income tax return without a Social Security number, you use a Tax ID number.
