“Many undocumented immigrants have been paying into the Social Security system for years by using fake Social Security numbers, borrowed Social Security numbers, and Individual Taxpayer ID numbers,” says Colby Van Sickler, founder of F3 Wealth Management. “For most, their intent is not to defraud individuals, it is purely motivated by financial survival.”

I don’t blame you for not understanding business should be competing for workers. You grew up in the age of underpaid slavery

I have a blue collar job.
My speak from my own experience, don’t just parrot what some person says.
I’ve known hundreds of illegal immigrants on a personal level.
I’ve worked in construction.
I was a roofer in my 20s.
Can speak Spanish
Etc
These people are mostly very hardworking and some are quite talented, but it’s simply not accurate to say that they aren’t exploiting the system. They work very hard, for cash, for less money than you’d pay a citizen, and pay very little back into society they enjoy.
Or what anyone has ever said, written down or studied apparently
Your anecdotes are not factual data
Give me a factual source on this that isn’t just “your experience”
Facts over feelings
If you experience the world, you don’t need to be told what it’s like, you just know
You guys aren’t interested in having an honest conversation.
Flower, you said you were a cook, right?
Know anyone in the kitchen getting paid in cash?
So let’s break this down.
They don’t pay anything back to society,
But they work very hard
for very little pay.
So work doesn’t contribute to society and labor isn’t valuable.
Don’t see how any of that contradicts itself.
Also are you expecting anyone to take you seriously after you ignore the cited Information provided to you and launch into a “I’m the salt of the earth working man who don’t need no educated elite to tell me how it is” anecdotal nonsense?
You celebrate your willful ignorance but it isn’t a virtue.
Nice to see we’ve abandoned the topic at hand and created another round of “General Discussion thinks it knows all the solutions to US politics”.

She looks like a Maghar female orc.
And yes — she is forced. because you should get comfortable under the female power fantasy in this game (just look at the whole Dragonflight expansion, where only women stood as leaders and all men were shoved aside, backstage, toned down or shatte on, just because fork you, that’s why).

Who is that cheap work benefitting?
What about Cesar Chavez and how he won labor rights for all working Americans?
Also that’s not just not true, here’s why
https://www.epi.org/blog/immigrants-are-not-hurting-u-s-born-workers-six-facts-to-set-the-record-straight/
The unemployment rate for U.S.-born workers averaged 3.6% in 2023, the lowest rate on record. Obviously, immigration is not causing high unemployment among U.S.-born workers.
The share of prime-age U.S.-born individuals with a job is at its highest rate in more than two decades. In 2023, the prime-age (ages 25–54) employment-to-population ratio (EPOP) for U.S.-born individuals was 81.4%, up from 80.7% in 2019 and now at its highest rate since 2001.2, 3
The prime-age labor force participation rate (LFPR) for U.S.-born individuals is also at its highest rate in more than two decades. In 2023, the LFPR for prime-age U.S.-born individuals was 83.9%, up from 83.3% in 2019 and now at its highest rate since 2002. Further, the increase in the U.S.-born prime-age LFPR over the last year was the second highest on record—below only the increase that occurred the year before last.
The prime-age LFPR of U.S.-born men without a bachelor’s degree grew at a record pace in each of the last two years and is above its pre-COVID trend. We focus here on prime-age men without a bachelor’s degree because though the immigrant population is comprised of men and women of all education levels, immigrants are somewhat disproportionately concentrated among men without a college degree (in 2023, the immigrant share of the overall labor force was 18.6%, but it was 20.0% of men without a college degree). That means that if recent immigration were affecting labor market outcomes of U.S.-born workers, it would be more easily detected among workers in this group. However, the LFPR of these workers is also beating expectations. It is clear the labor market is both absorbing immigrants and generating strong job opportunities for U.S.-born workers, including those in demographic groups potentially most impacted by immigration. 6, 7
Though the immigrant share of the labor force reached a record high in 2023, immigrant labor force growth is not occurring at an unprecedented rate. From 2019 to 2023, the immigrant labor force grew 2.3% annually on average, according to our analysis of CPS data. That is strong growth, but it’s roughly one-third the rate the economy experienced between 1996 and 2000 (which, just like 2022 and 2023, was a period of very low unemployment—and strong employment growth—for U.S.-born workers). Immigrant inflows into the labor force over the last year alone were also not unprecedentedly high—for example, the pace was slower than in 2022 and slower than three of the years from 1996–2000.
Immigrants are an integral part of our labor market, filling gaps caused by demographic changes in the United States and contributing to strong economic growth. The immigrants that make up 18.6% of the U.S. labor force are playing key roles in numerous industries and are employed in a mix of lower, middle, and higher-wage jobs. And as the Congressional Budget Office recently reported, immigration is contributing to strong economic growth—with future immigration forecasted to boost real gross domestic product by 2% over the next 10 years—as well as increasing government revenue. Immigrants are also complementing U.S.-born workers by contributing to overall population and workforce growth. The U.S. Census Bureau projects that if the U.S. were to have lower-than-expected immigration levels, the population would begin to decline in 20 years, and if there were suddenly zero immigration, the population would begin to decline next year, deeply harming economic growth.

You act like you support the working class while undermining them by dividing them into groups and putting them again each other.
You’re as transparent as you are annoying.
