    They also pay taxes but don’t receive benefits. It’s a terrible idea to send them away.

    I’d rather we cracked down on foreign work visas being abused to take away middle-class jobs.

    Well of course if you just do a pure 1:1 comparison of numbers citizens will have higher numbers. There’s more of us!

    If you do per capita, however…

    Yeah it’s still citizens.

    By a lot

      Along with horseshit arguments like “but there’s not enough houses for them” and “but what about healthcare”, as if getting rid of the people who work in building and healthcare will magically make the situation better.

        Also, at least in Germany we desperately need immigrants to keep health care from collapsing (especially elder care).

    Being against illegal immigration is not the same thing as being anti-immigration.
