Federal tax revenues alone in 2014 were $3.02 trillion. So despite the fact legal immigrants made up 13+% of the 2014 US population, their total contribution, including state + local, was equivalent to just 10.8% of federal tax revenues?

Asian Math Man is a liar. Sad!
"The average legal immigrant pays (at absolute best) 80% of the taxes that a native citizen does while consuming 170% as much welfare as a native citizen, but maybe if I pay you $1000 a month, you'll shut up so we can continue to make every aspect of your life worse, forever"
Btw total fed/state/local tax revenues in 2014 were like $5 trillion, so if he's counting total instead of mere federal tax revenues from immigrants, 13% of the population only provided 6.6% of total tax revenues. If he's also counting illegals in his tax revenues, then just lol
Discarding "This Is Who We Are" pablum, isn't the main argument for immigration an economic one?

How does it help us, economically, if immigrants give less + take more than native citizens?

And far worse: when the same is also true of the children + grandchildren of immigrants?
One dude w Google, a calculator app, and 3 beers can disprove the major plank of the pro-immigrant argument. Yet nearly the entire nation believes the opposite of basic reality

Why?

The people in charge of us on the left are deluded, and those on the right don't care about us
This is why the entire West is in rebellion. They're just outright lying to us. About everything. But I'll just enjoy the benefits of the elites and their imports calling me a racist and persecuting my children, as "our greatest strength" continues to degrade everything around us
