Some inconvenient facts about immigrants that MAGAs hope you ignore:

•Seeking asylum is a legal & human RIGHT, protected by the US Constitution and the UN Convention on Refugees (to which the USA is a signatory)

•Both documented AND undocumented immigrants have LOWER crime rates than US Citizens (and usually higher vaccination rates too)

•Undocumented immigrants pay MORE in taxes ($12B annually) than Trump ever has or will (and get none of the tax benefits)

RT if you learned something new!

@QasimRashid I always have to educate people on the taxes thing. I've had so many people repeat that to me over and over and I'm starting to lose patience on it. THEY PAY TAXES. And they don't even get to vote. Undocumented immigrants give this country SO much and get so little in return.

Conservatives, on the other hand, take and take and take and give nothing in return. They're absolute grinches.

@Okramonk @QasimRashid you are so right. I lived as an undocumented immigrant (even though my mom, dad and older brother were US citizens) for 8 years. One employer didn’t pay 3 months of my salary and told me to go complain, if I dared! It took 8 years to become a legal citizen. 8 years of hardship and abuse.
