Tuesday, January 28, 2025

ICE officials have been directed by Trump to aggressively ramp up the number of people they arrest, from a few hundred per day to at least 1,200 to 1,500, because the president has been disappointed with the results of his mass deportation campaign so far.

No doubt. Even at 1,500/day it will take 20 years to get rid of all 11,000,000 of them. Not even counting the new ones.

American citizens will be arrested and deported.

I'll bet that's already started.

Whats there to be nice and friendly about? Americans have fences around their houses, walls in their houses. Not sure why the country should be different.

As Supreme Commander Allied Forces Europe during WWII, General Eisenhower saw first hand how to move vulnerable people en masse and hence the appalling 1.1m deportations in 1954 when he was President.

To pay into the SS system they need work authorization, which by definition means they are documented.

No. Most of the time they are not paid under the table.

In 2022, illegal immigrants paid $32 billion into Social Security.

Wrong.

This typically happens because they work under borrowed or fraudulent Social Security numbers.

Exactly.

This is the problem. Too many (MAGA) don't have a clue about what's going on. They then become easy targets to spin up, to lie to, to manipulate. Their base emotions are played with - and used - by those that want power.

The real problem is never addressed. It's too valuable as a way of gaining or maintaining power.

#57 | Posted by oneironaut

And how much did people making less than $15 an hour contribute versus government spending?

Guess what, dummy? The spread is even greater because they are entitled to way more benefits than illegal immigrants.

But the country runs on labor. The companies they make money for also pay taxes. The owners they make money for also pay taxes.

That's how it balances out.

"Explain to me how an undocumented immigrant pays into the SS system?"

Back when I used to wait tables the back of house staff was usually 100% undocumented. They all had access to real social security numbers, usually borrowed from and shared with someone they knew. They just had to make sure that they didn't work so much that it triggered an audit by the IRS. Some of them had multiple SSNs to avoid that issue.

With unemployment still extremely low, where do you idiots think the workers are going to come from? And if it is lesser paying jobs, who do you think is going to fill them? My God are some people just stupid.
