Given all the immigrants I know put a lot more back into the economy than they get out of it, I suspect the only connection here is more likely those multinationals not paying their taxes due to loopholes that shouldn't exist. Especially since the record profits they generate as a result of this are not reflected in the workers wages either. Where does all that money go I wonder? Probably on that increasing the gap between the rich and poor.
Nice anecdotal evidence there bud.
Do you have some factual evidence to refute it?
Refute that you met an immigrant who paid taxes? It's not something to refute.
The fact that I've never met an immigrant that doesn't pay more back in than they get out would at the very least suggest there are far more of them than ones that are a burden on society. But if you have no interest in facts, statistics or evidence, what business do you have in the world of political discourse?
