Topic: Some info about illegal immigrants
Anonymous A started this discussion 6 years ago #88,191
Doesnt take long to read. I like how they discuss how the number of illegal is tallied.
They are taking more than they are giving and oh yeah btw they are not supposed to be here, they are illegal.

Oh look. An opinion piece by Ann Coulter.

Not going to go into all the ways this piece is r-worded but this in particular stuck out to me as being uniquely stupid:
Even assuming everything there is true (it probably isn't), you can't add up immigrants that way because...immigrants also leave. This would be like estimating the amount of water in the Mississippi River by estimating how much rainfall it receives each year and then cumulatively adding that to the previous years total infinitely. Eventually the Mississippi river would contain more than all the gallons of water on earth. Except it wouldn't because rivers also lose water over time. The same is true of immigration, contrary to whatever insanity she's peddling. Immigrants come and immigrants leave. Water flows into rivers and then out of them.
Her hatred is matched only by her stupidity. Ann Coulter sucks.
More serious studies put the number considerably higher. At the low end, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Yale study last year put the number of illegals at 22 million. Yet Bear Stearns investment bank had it at 20 million back in 2005, and Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporters Donald L. Barlett and James B. Steele reported in 2004 that 3 million illegals were crossing each year - so simple math would put it at well over 60 million today.

The whole premise of the piece is just her taking some numbers from actual research and multiplying them through handwaving until they sound scary enough. There's not much substance outside of that. She uses some scare quotes, calls some guy a shill, doubles down on the "they're coming for your job" rhetoric, and blames immigration for opioid deaths in Maine.

@1,008,855 (A)Immigrants do not come here out of a master plan to take over the United States. They come here to work, and when they feel like their opportunities will be better back home, they tend to return home. This is how every immigrant has acted throughout the history of human civilization. This is not new.

@previous (E)Well, what they do is commit tax fraud when they work. Probably identity fraud stealing social security numbers too.
Just because they clean your toilet and mow your lawn for less than you should be paying an American doesn't mean they should be entering illegally. You can pay what you consider to be shit tier people that do your menial tasks less, based on their ethnicity if you want, but they should still enter the country through the gates and apply for working visas and residency and citizenship.
