Yes but say let’s charge them 1 or 3 percent more. Then put that into a fund and give it all to Social Security so we can kick that bucket further down the road? Or use it to increase minimum wage? I always wondered if the US supposedly hate immigrants so much (even though its a country found on that idea). Actually lets just brass ball this this thing. I am just sick and tired of the immigrant thing. Hell 3 gen’s ago my family was a Czech, my neighbors are Irish and Arab. I guess it is a simplistic way to ignore the real problem on how fucked up the immigration system is…sorry to rant…thanks for the response tho…
Ah I’m sorry, yeah I get your line of thought. There are some visas and pathways to citizenship that come with higher fees that are kind of like what you’re thinking.
But yeah, immigrants pay a lot of taxes in the US (which also varies by state). It’s a detail that a lot of people don’t really think about when talking about immigrants and the issues therein.
I like your questions because they almost always stir a good bit of replies. Which sometimes kicks off deeper conversations which is fun!
do appologize to you and scooby but I am going to yell. ABOUT FUCKING TIME PEOPLE GET WHY I POST. That’s it. But really you have no idea how hard it is to get recognition of what I am doing without saying it.

Maybe very few people enjoy what you post and you should think about that more than you type.
