...from the linked article...

-----------------
An estimated 11 million immigrants live in the U.S. without authorization. Contrary to some claims, they pay a considerable amount in taxes. Some estimates suggest undocumented immigrants paid nearly $100 billion in federal, state, and local taxes in 2022.

Never mind the hard work they provide, especially when it comes to getting food on our tables, building and repairing roads, cooking and cleaning in the hotels we stay at, etc...jobs that not a lot of long ago immigrants' descendants are clamoring for...

A point to deceive. Your link is like your posts, deceiving!

The author intentionally mixed undocumented immigrants with documented immigrants (which are majority) to make claim that undocumented immigrants received less government benefits.
If in hard sciences, this article is a serious fraud.

  just do a couple of Google/AI searches and you'll then understand.
  You might also want to use such searches to understand how to read a graph of global temperatures and what the differences are between Linear and Non-Linear Regression analyses...also, which is used by Climate Scientists. (Hint: It's not Linear)

    Tyroneirish, there’s no shame to make false claims. That’s propagandist job 101.

    I like the way you are thinking. Lots of illegals will lower the cost of labor.
