    “illegal immigrants” is always fun when talking about the US. 1. classic dehumanizing tactic. These are not people they are ILLEGALS! 2. kinda hard to be a “legal immigrant” when it’s fucking impossible to be one unless you have money, connections or…oh but that’s the point isn’t it? Also if it’s impossible for them to be considered “legal” it means these people can be exploited, constantly all the way up to the legal form of slavery in this country. (prison)

    Also, there is a very good chance all of these “illegals” that some of you clutch your pearls over pay more taxes than you do while also having fewer protections and more harassment. https://www.vox.com/2019/3/1/18241692/undocumented-immigrants-pay-state-local-taxes
