Isn't there a plaque at the Statue of Liberty saying something like:
Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
The US and Canada were literally started by immigration, grown by it. Before these two countries were born it belonged to First Nations and the wild. The attitude of 'fuck you I got mine' is classic boomer and why society is so fucked today. If they weren't so rightfully scared of ICE they'd be taxpayers, adding even more value to the country than just their labour and culture alone.
Many of them do pay taxes, via shared SS numbers, but can never claim the benefits.
They’re helping pay for the boomers’ social security right now.
I feel like that's gotta be a scam on the employer side where it benefits the employer only..
They get used to sign up for cell phones and cable TV too. The businesses all know which SS# are shared, but don’t care because they pay on time.
