The vast majority of undocumented migrants are undocumented bc we make it too hard to be documented, for no gd reason. They’re net payers at all levels. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. As a group, they aren’t freeloading, or violent, or wutevs; just people, and they make America/ns richer.
