I can eat sushi, pizza, samosas, kebab (kabobs, döner or shawarmas depending on your frame of reference), gyoza/pot stickers/tortellone/pasteczki (or whatever), noodles/ramen/spaghetti, knödeln/kroppkakor and so on and so on. Leaving lots of cultures unsaid.
I can enjoy music, cringy cultural movies (animated and not), fun cirque sessions (even without animals being endangered), go to festivals for various cultures, enjoin then in our cultures of scouting, mountaineering, hiking and share my love of enjoying nature.
I can drive electric cars, communicate on Internet forums, keep in touch with new friends as well as loved ones across the world.
I would be in a much poorer world without you all.
great point, and many countries would be literally poorer as well.
even undocumented immigrants pay about $100 billion in taxes to the US each year.
I loath people that claim immigrants aren’t paying taxes and just taking free money. If they have an official job, they’re paying taxes and every time they make a purchase, taxes are paid, just like everyone else that’s not rich.

and they believe they are also using medicaid and care too.
Seems weird that an illegal immigrant would have an official job that taxes are paid on. Seems like it would be a big risk for both
For sure, it is. But, if they do have one, they are likely paying taxes. They could be filing exempt, but I do feel that may be even riskier. Obviously if they are cash under the table, then it’s only on purchases, not income.
Because if they paid into it, but don’t file then the government got money it won’t have to refund. A lot less risky than asking to pay your refund.
for which the only benefit they enjoy is to be underpaid for their essential contributions to US society & economy
