Where is the American flag? Why the Mexican flag when they live here? Assimilate and pay taxes and insurance like the rest of us. What a flop.

I was there and there were many U.S. flags. Undocumented immigrants pay over $90 billion per year in taxes and are vital to our economy. The primary request I heard was a desire to integrate through a viable pathway to citizenship

Yeah, I heard if you go to the store they actually take the tax off your bill when they find our you're undocumented. Same with your rent, gas - instant discount.
White Americans also, notoriously, have never had a proud history of resisting taxation. Mmhmm.

Maybe you like illegall criminals. Or unwanted migrants. Or undocumented criminals. Take your pick. Have them apply before entering and pay the cover charge. Paying 90B in taxes but consuming 500B in benefits and resources is not a fair trade off.

They want handouts, not paying w-2s and side hustles unlike us Americans. Either assimilate into American values or you don’t belong here. It’s not racism
