I got into a debate with a couple of
democrats about illegal immigration. I learned so much from them,
none of which was good for democrats. When I told one of them that
members of the caravan were applying for asylum, the guy thought I
was lying. I linked to a New York Times article(what I consider a
leftist source) that verified everything I had said. The man was
surprised by what he had read. He told me he had never seen any of
that information, which pretty accurately detailed how many caravans
there were and how many people made up those caravans. He told me the
New York Times wasn't a progressive source so he would have some
doubts about the information.
The topic turned to how illegal aliens
were working and paying taxes. Some do pay taxes, but not in the
numbers people think. One of the men supplied a link to a Vox
article. As you might expect, it was a fluff piece describing the
plight of poor immigrants and bragging about how much they pay in
taxes. What the article also did was provide some numbers that backed
up what I was saying about illegal aliens stealing Social Security
numbers.
