Illegal immigrants have a negative fiscal impact -- taxes paid minus benefits received -- primarily because a large share have modest levels of education, resulting in relatively low average incomes and tax payments, along with significant use of means-tested programs and other government services.
Using the National Academies' estimate of immigrants' net fiscal impact by education level, we estimate that the lifetime fiscal drain (taxes paid minus costs) for each illegal immigrant is about $68,000.
Based on their use rate of major welfare programs, we estimate that illegal immigrants receive $42 billion in benefits, or about 4 percent of the total cost of the cash.
Use of emergency medical services is another area in which illegal immigrants create significant fiscal costs. Prior research indicates that there are 5. 8 million uninsured illegal immigrants in the country in 2019, accounting for a little over one-fifth of the total population without health insurance. The costs of providing care to them likely totals some $7 billion annually.
Illegal immigrants do pay some taxes. We estimate that illegal immigrants in 2019 paid roughly $5. 9 billion in federal income tax, $16.2 billion in Social Security tax and $3. 8 billion in Medicaid taxes. However, as the net fiscal drain of $68,000 per person cited above indicates, these taxes are not nearly enough to cover the cost of the services they receive.

Why is Tooms so supportive of federal workers and their sick leave and so critical of Trump using his spare time to make money? Because most government workers vote Democrat, and Trump is now a Republican. And how on God's green earth can you claim to be a Democratic douche "rule of law" person when you support illegal immigrants? It is the same reason. They vote Democrat. And why does Loony Tooms go off so badly on Muslim Americans while bragging about how great illegal immigrants are? Because the Muslim Americans did not vote for Democrats this election cycle because of Biden policies on Israel.
It is just more of the same lies and half-truths. He wants Democrats in power because they give parasites like him more money.

TSA agents are just what most people see as government workers. Because they are in the public eye, TSA agents actually work harder, if you can believe that, than most other federal employees.
And SC would have been an affirmative action hire not DEI, not that that is so much better. His claim that he worked 10 X harder than white people killed me. How do you work 10 X harder than someone at the TSA? If you add up all the days off a federal worker gets, it can be up to 10 weeks or 50 days per year and that does not include other perks like family leave. Then you have on top of that the family leave program and as a buddy of mine told me, "you never can get anyone in government fired".
And you know how all those former senators and presidents have so many people at their funerals? That is because so many government employees get paid or get their expenses reimbursed to be there. It is like a party for them and then they have health care outside of the government structures like the VA.
And SC probably got the deal where he gets a pension of 85% of his three best years of salary in government which can be and probably is more than the maximum payout for social security.
One of the issues with Covid is so many government employees did not want to come back to the office and so few did. I met a gal in DC who was literally working one hour a day at her government job and with Covid, she was able to work remotely. That is why so many government agencies scared the shit out of people with Covid. They did not want to return to the office.
This is from a Reddit forum where people were talking about sick leave:
No one gives a hoot where I am. It is actively encouraged to take all the time you want, whenever you want. I know people who put in the day of because they decide to go do X activities on a whim. No one ever questions sick leave and I have never heard anyone needing to produce a doctor's note.
I took almost a month of leave and never gave a doctors note. I told the office I broke my hand and they were like "take all the time you need" so I did. Never asked for specific days or hours ahead of putting them in.
And in the mean time, you got Democratic douche Eli Tooms going on about how Trump needs to work 24/7 while he is banging hookers on our dime in Thailand.
Do not tell me how you paid into the system when you have been taking handouts from government the whole time. Hell, we have Spidy here telling me how weird I am for not taking government handouts. It was amazing that these douches tripped over themselves trying to find anything that I got from government.
The parasites have no respect for taxpayers. They have no respect for their country. They live abroad and all they care about is they get more from us.

Trump calls Putin 'absolutely crazy' following Russia's latest barrage on Ukraine.

https://www.npr.org/2025/05/26/nx-s1...solutely-crazy
Is Donald J. Trump really the last pol on the Planet to figure out that Putin takes the opportunity of a purported "ceasefire" as a very good time to increase his fire on the countries he invades?
Biden knew that as a better President than Trump will ever be even in his sleep. Which he only did to rest up from his job of being one of the Best Presidents in History and, unlike Trump, not from a side job of booking rooms in his failed golf resorts and taking bribes on sales of crypto through his likely scam crypto sales service.
Now, a few days ago Elvis was good enough to point out that Repub Trump brilliantly only "pretends" to be a total economic ignoramus with his 100% ignorant Trump Tariff pronouncements that he immediately caves on and then comes up with a 99.99% ignorant pronouncement in his March to The Worst Economic Results Since The Great Repub Depression.
So would you say Repub Trump is pulling that same trick with his foreign policy on war? Was he brilliantly only "prentending" to be the most ignorant pol on the Planet about Putin ever since February 2022, publicly blowing him bareback with a full CIM+Swallow on his every attack on Ukraine until today when he can totally flip-flop on that foreign policy and prove to the World he is more than totally ignorant but also an utterly erratic numbskull?

Posts: 6070Lies, more lies and Elon Musk
We have two individuals who lie in the thread. They are looking for a third for a threesome for a mini orgy of untruth.
You can turn the Social Security program off right now. I don't get any. So, both of you (Elvis 2008) and yourself need to stop lying about individuals who receive the money that hey paid into Social Security as anything other than legitimate receivers of government benefits.
There would be no problem with the Social Security program if was funded properly like a pension fund. Or the rich like Elvis 2008 and MarquisdeSade1 didn't receive preferential tax benefits because they are rich (ers).

President Musk should stick with chainsawing away the regulators and overseers who can bust him on his rocketship toys violations and stop commenting on stuff he knows nothing about. Which is virtually everything other than his rocketship toys.

Posts: 4307MDS, I think you brought this up as well
And the funniest story of the week is this: https://www.zerohedge.com/political/...-men-dont-them.
Six months after a stinging nationwide rejection that handed Donald Trump a commanding reelection and fractured their core coalition, the Democratic Party is turning to a new solution: spending $20 million to figure out why young men don't like them.
"Above all, we must shift from a moralizing tone," the document urges.
In other words, the modern Democratic Party wants to know how it can lie to young men and get away with it. When we support South Africa killing white farmers, that is racist South African white men not you. When we say young white men are racist, we mean everyone else but you. When we brag about how far women have come, we mean all the sexist men not you.
Of course, maybe if Democrats stopped being racist, sexist parasites who come up with a plan that unties rather than divides the country, young men might listen to them.
It gets worse: It outlines a massive push to decode the language and culture of disaffected young men, particularly in online spaces, and includes a proposal to buy ads inside video games. Ah yes, video games, what young American men have decided to do as opposed to deal with American women.
It really amazes me that Dems are so blind to what young men are seeing. First off, young men have seen older men who have been completely held hostage by women over their children, Divorced Dads Should Give Up on Their Children. For Now. And Clarey is just reacting to what he has seen in his own life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poKz44hjjG0.
Fathers will often have to put up with the psycopath that is the American woman who initiate divorce most of the time not out of being abused but boredom. If you have children with an American woman, you are their hostage. Look at the parasites on this forum selling out their sex for a few flings with foreign hookers.
Then there is the other part. Only Fans Replaced By AI. The Return of Hot Girls to Real Jobs? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ab6aH4WV-1g.
Clarey first mentions his terrible working experience with most hot American women. He then praises the guy who started Only Fans as a genius but this guy knows it is time to sell because this genius founder knows that AI women are going to replace regular women in the digital world. Who needs the American fantasy woman who is so often such a beetch, when you can have the fantasy woman who will do whatever you ask 24/7?
And then you have the path for the young American male: AI women at home for your sexual pleasure. If you desire real women or a relationship, have a woman or women abroad. If you want children that are truly yours, get a foreign wife and keep her in her native country or get a surrogate who is not an American woman, the perpetual victim class, to bear your children and hire nannies for child care.
MDS, it is amazing how many foreign women I have met who have had American men ask them to be surrogate mothers. It blows me away.
I get it. It is way cheaper to do so and you do not have to put up with the American woman who as Clarey puts it if they are attractive at all are likely to be bat shit crazy.
It is funny how parasites like Spidy call American men incels. Shit, if I were a young American male, I would wear that incel badge with proud. If you deal with American women, more likely than not, you are the dumb one.
It is so funny because you know the Democratic douches will try so hard to plug the holes in the system. Every time, they call people racist or sexist with their hiring practices, employers move the job overseas or hire independent contractors. Every time the douches or women are offended by male words, men learn to just say as little as possible. Every time men are falsely called rapists, the Democratic douches push men into the incel world.
And when you see the attitudes of the parasite class like Tooms, Spidy, and SC, you do all you can to pay less in taxes. If that means work less or open a business where you can take huge losses like Trump did to avoid taxes, you do so. The one thing you know is that with those three they do not give a shit about the future of the country. They do not give a shit if the country they grew up in is a mess drowning in debt as long as they get their share.
Do not fall for the con that I did. That hard work will be the answer to all your dreams. The parasites are lined up to take all that you have earned, shit on you, and brag about how they deserve your money more than you do. Get by with less. Work smarter not harder. And do all you can to cut the parasites, who are the worst of the Democratic douches, out of your life.
And that is why the Democratic douche plan to lure young men will fail. It is all based on lying to them.

Some recent US figures on the distribution of income by party: 65 percent of taxpayer households that earn more than $500,000 per year are now in Democratic districts; 74 percent of the households in Republican districts earn less than $100,00 per year. Add to this what we knew already, namely that the 10 richest congressional districts in the country all have Democratic representatives in Congress. The above numbers incidentally come from the Internal Revenue Service, via Bloomberg, and are likely to be more reliable than if they came from Project Veritas via theblaze.com.
Yes, the proposed Trump tax cuts help the rich Democratic districts more than anyone else. As for Republicans, according to Loony Tooms, we are the party of the Arab terrorists. My God, you cannot make this shit up.

Ah yes, South Africa is such a great example of why white people should be so compassionate with black people. He did not say white person. He said boer. Unfuckingreal.
Meanwhile, the oppressed SC, the guy who worked 10 X harder at his TSA job because it was so racist, is getting by with his 100 inch TV. My God, can you believe the horror? It is so racist of me to not want to pay for his new 120 inch set. And Spidy, you poor parasite, are you just getting by with a TV funded by taxpayers that is just 86 inches? Ah yes, you are so compassionate with tax payer dollars. Yes, SC, I will sacrifice my tax handouts for you. You go first brother.
Of course, he is your brother in arms. You, SC, and Loony Tooms are cut from the same cloth, a group of parasites wanting more government money for your hookers, and you deserve more because guys like me are racist and that assumption is totally based on my skin color. Maybe that should be your new slogan: Vote Democrat. We are tired of fucking our butt ugly hookers. He he.
