"And let us not forget that in many respects, from property taxes to sales taxes, undocumented immigrants are taxpayers, and the truth is, in many respects, because they are not eligible for a lot of benefits, they are subsidizing the rest of us. Which is just one more reason we've got to get this sorted out."


What a joke!

I'd love Peter to give us a breakdown of how many illegal immigrants own homes and pay property taxes.

Someone needs to show him how much illegals cost us per year. Property taxes and sales taxes aren’t making up for that

Cash only jobs. No taxes. No payroll information to trace back to your illegal status in this country.

This is such a stupid argument, it's hilarious people take it seriously.

I'd love to know the psychological condition of "if this one blatant lie is true, then the rest of our argument makes sense, so let's promote it".

If they are paying taxes it is because they have stolen someone's SS# and most likely not paying the correct taxes anyway.

Why do the democrats find it necessary to do gymnastics with facts. Is it because they are wrong about an issue? Yes

In sales and property taxes it’s estimated they put in about 12 billion in taxes annually.

They take out over 100 billion annually in healthcare and schooling costs.

Seems like Mr. Buttplug needs to work on his math.

sales taxes


They don't in McAllen, Texas. They walk across the bridge, buy their shite at WalMart without paying sales taxes and return back home. That's the way it was about 20 years ago anyway.

This is how the democrats play smoke and mirrors with this issue

Ignore the fact that illegals themselves do receive taxpayer funded benefits.

The fact that they have so many children that DO receive all these benefits and more, is what makes it unsustainable.

I don’t think he’s a fraud, but he may be misguided in some national topics. I like him in politics though. He seems like the type of person to move to the right on a ton of issues once he studies them...if he’s as smart as he’s made out to be.

Don't forget the net drain on the economy they create by sending money back home.
