              Do you wanna check that statement? What are you implying?

              I’m biracial. My mother is black and a conservative. Check yourself before you wreck yourself, friend.

              Explain.

                Monkey refers to the conservative part of your pedigree. Conservative is a choice to be a subhuman lacking in empathy and is therefore fair game.

        You won’t get that money back they will get that money back they as in Trump and his cronies. Just remember right now you might feel like you’re on the winning side but he only cares about himself at some point you too will be expendable to him.

          Just like when the Democrats were in office. Friend, I don’t trust either side with my money.

          It’s why I proudly voted third party. :)

            Still a false equivalent. The Democrats are spineless morons but at last most of them think you have a rite to exist. vs the majority of Republicans who think you should still be a slave because one parent was the wrong color.

              Um, my mother is black. And she’s a conservative. So what you are saying is not true at all.

    That almost offsets the billions in taxes that we’ll lose.

        Billions. With a B.

        In 2022, undocumented immigrants paid $75.6 billion in taxes, which was a significant contribution to the U.S. economy. This includes:

        • $46.6 billion in federal taxes
        • $29.0 billion in state and local taxes
        • $22.6 billion to Social Security
        • $5.7 billion to Medicare
        • $25.7 billion in Social Security taxes
        • $6.4 billion in Medicare taxes
        • $1.8 billion in unemployment insurance

        And then bear in mind that each one of those contributions practically counts double since they are not entitled to any of the services paid for by those taxes

          So they were stealing social security numbers to pay taxes! Amazing! Man I feel bad for those who got their identity stolen.

          You realize that hurts your argument, right? That they need to go even more now.

            Oh man, that would hurt my argument. Where did you read that? I’m sure you can cite it and you’re not just making it up because your whole thing is just being willfully ignorant about everything. That wouldn’t describe you, would it?

            In the meantime, I found this for you:

    Do not refund any money that DOGE is finding, use 100% of it to pay off federal debt. Sending Americans a check can cause inflation.
