“Unauthorized immigrants comprise slightly more than 4% of the adult population of the U.S., but because they are relatively young and have high birthrates, their children make up a much larger share of both the newborn population (8%) and the child population (7% of those younger than age 18) in this country.”
Sure, 59% of illegal immigrants don’t have children. But the 41% do, and when they do, its not 1 or 2. It’s a litter. A big enough litter to MORE than make up for the 59% who are doing the right thing and not rawdogging it constantly.
Welfare doesnt mean snap. Welfare means “statutory procedure or social effort designed to promote the basic physical and material well-being of people in need.”
Here’s a lazy link that is just the tip of the iceberg:
I just think you are being delusional if you don’t think that illegal immigrants are driving down the minimum wage.
I think you are being delusional if you don’t think that illegal immigrants help business owners evade income taxes while evading income taxes themselves.
I think you are being delusional if you don’t think that illegal immigrants breed at a rate that surpasses Americans with a legal resident status.
I think you are being delusional if you don’t think that as a society, we spend a massive amount of time and resources subsidizing illegal immigrant families that take shitty low paying jobs and have too many kids.
Give them real help. Remove the illegal status. Help them naturalize.
I’d guess that their share in child population is bigger not because they have so many children but because citizens don’t have many (of at all) children. It’s the same with all of the developed countries, their birth rates are below population sustain threshold.

As for the rest, I’m not disagreeing with you.

Don’t put on blinders. Fix the issues.
