What's the biggest myth about illegal immigrants?
07.06.2025 04:25
19 states allow non-citizens to get a drivers license. When you have 6 million illegal immigrants move to your country in 3 years, they also buy up all the used cars, and they buy up the best sales on the new cars too, pushing up the prices of cars and reducing the options you should have had.
Millions of Young men leave their families to get money. Millions of Females leave their families to run to safety.
This drives up the cost of rent and drives up the cost of homes because more people are willing to bid against you, and are willing to rent for those prices. Even if they have to have 6 roommates to rent it, they will do it.
Can a bride cheat on her groom at a wedding?
5 US states don't even have a million people, but we are supposed to absorb 6 million people in 3 years, and millions more are coming because their populations are booming in the billions.
The answer is that a vast majority of “gotaways” don't want to be vetted and fingerprinted. Many are either trafficking in drugs, weapons, human beings or have some other nefarious purpose.
Tourists can't find hotel rooms, and so local business don't get the money they need to stay afloat. And so they fire everyone and close.
USA HELLO has guides on how to get housing. And has a complete list of resources offering affordable housing for illegal immigrants and money help with rent.
The Department of Health and Human Services admits that they've lost track of more than 85,000 unaccompanied migrant children placed with sponsor families. There are documented cases of these vulnerable minors being forced to work in dangerous facilities without proper protections.
It's no coincidence that fentanyl overdose deaths in the U.S. have hit dismal new highs as an unprecedented 9 million-plus illegally crossed into America in the past 4 years
What makes cars from companies like Dacia or BYD appealing compared to Tesla, especially in Europe?
This drives up the price for citizens to buy a house.
Some people go to college, some people work really hard to get promotions, and other people immigrate to places where the currency is worth more and take that currency back home to spend there.
You should check out Americans poorest towns and slums and tent encampments - no one puts them in National Geographic and asks for donations for their medical, housing, and food needs- because National Geographic is for our entertainment, and it's more wondrous to see something exotic - but those poor encampments are all over the place. Take a look. There are photos where you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the USA, or the poor parts of Africa. Rich is rich no matter where you are in the world. And poor is poor no matter where you are in the world. In Africa the rich take private jets to go on shopping sprees in other countries for luxury goods. You would think they would donate their money to their own people. But nope. I guess Americans and Europeans can donate their money, but rich Africans don't feel the need.
USA roster: 15 MLS players called for 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup - MLSsoccer.com
The men from Mexico would come for a few months of work. Go back home and relax. And then next season come for a few months of work. Sometimes it is watching the sheep herd over 3 winter months out in a remote grazing area far from any stores, sometimes it is to pick the fruit crop in the southwest zone of the country for 3 summer months. Sometimes it is other stuff. It is a very relaxed lifestyle. The wife doesn’t have to get a job. They own a single family house with land back in their home country, and maybe grow some fresh vegetables on it if they are not near a store, or if they like gardening. A stay- at-home mom is a lifestyle choice. In the USA, most USA families cannot afford for the mom to stay-at-home, our lives are too hard to be able to afford that, or we just want so much more for our children as far as sports, school supplies, and education, and electronics that we insist on the mom working too. Not every culture is willing to make the same types of sacrifices or wants the same things so much that they are willing to send the mom to work. So their moms usually are stay-at-home.
It is also illegal for landlords to discriminate: AKA- ask for proof of citizenship. So most landlords do NOT check for citizenship. Most Landlords are concerned about one thing only- money.
There are more than 1.8 million known “gotaways”—individuals who purposefully evaded Border Patrol.
Would the word literate carry the same meaning with public (common wealth) in 1900 vs today 2020?
In New York City right now, plenty of landlords are ILLEGALLY renting to illegal migrants. And they make GREAT money doing it. The city has been trying to find them and shut them down for MONTHS and MONTHS. But dozens more living arrangements pop up for everyone 1 the city shuts down. I am surprised you aren't aware of all of this that goes on. The landlord are only requiring you have a pulse and pay rent on time.
Yes there is also sex trafficking world-wide and in the USA - which is disgusting. And an open border gives the sex traffickers free reign to operate - which is why illegal immigration being put above LEGAL immigration should be banned. Illegal immigration leaves US citizens without housing, and it is a breeding ground for drug operators, and sex traffickers. Sex trafficking and drug operators have this way of causing other side crimes too.
Also, the illegal border areas have a lot of sneaky people, like child sex traffickers, and drug smugglers - these people are dangerous and that is scary - so the less times you illegally cross the better you will feel.
What are the best mattress options for a comfortable night's sleep in Pompano Beach?
Europe has the same exact problems the USA and Canada does due to all these people moving in. When people move in they look for a place to live - rent or buy. That means YOU have to compete with them. Whether THEY buy that house solo, or THEY buy it as a group investment, YOU are competing with them.
When illegal immigrants are offered a pathway to living here through fake asylum claims, or citizenship, while LEGAL green card backlogs remain for law abiding people who are already waiting patiently for years, it simply incentivizes and encourage illegal immigration. That is part of the Pull force.
Notice how Denmark identified that these people actually have quite a bit of valuable jewelry too. Again, not destitute and poor.
Dotemu’s CEO on how it makes new games that feel retro - The Verge
Some of the immigrants never intended to remain in the United States for as many years as they did, but the cost of crossing back over the border -to pay the smugglers, airplane tickets/bus fare/train tickets, food, lodging and other expenses- kept them here for a little longer to save up for that expense. Most of them have a set number of years they estimate they want to stay to make a certain dollar amount of cash, and then they leave.
Mexicans, who represent the largest and most transformative migration to the United States in past years, started a more accelerated return to Mexico more than a 15 years ago, due to improvements in the Mexican job opportunities and economy and shrinking job opportunities in the United States. It is not about asylum. They follow the money. Asylum is just an excuse that buys them time to earn the money they are after. There are very few people who actually need Asylum in the world.
It is a myth that it is racist to want a secure border

And illegals can provide proof of income just like everyone else. Most Illegals have either paystubs or if not that, than they have bank accounts, and many even file tax returns. And if not that, than they can flash the cash to the landlord - showing them they have the cash in hand right now.
This leaves less apartments for US citizens who needed them though.
Meanwhile, those parents who bring their children over lawless areas with known sex and drug traffickers as their “guides” are committing child abuse.
What was your first gay male experience?
Also, if land becomes scarce, there is also plenty of birth control to control overpopulation.
During the four years of the Trump administration, U.S. authorities captured 11 people who were listed on the Terrorism Watch List. Under Biden, agents detained 18 individuals in the month of September alone. Today, migrants from over 160 different countries, including Syria, Afghanistan and Iran have illegally crossed the border under the Biden Administration
Their kids they leave behind in the USA, are adults by the time they head back to their home countries, and the kids will take lavish vacations back in the country of origin too and often go to visit their retired parents, and typically the majority of the kids will retire young and rich in the home country as well - following in their parents foot steps. They become ex-pats.
Why do people who were very kind and loving once become cold-hearted?
Crowded scenes at the border are also because immigrants are returning home. Waves of middle aged, and able bodied immigrants return to their home countries every year.
Typically when you ask immigrants coming here they had at minimum $ 20, 000 DOLLARS to get here. Now that is the currency in US dollars. In their home currency, this amount was worth much more, perhaps it was worth even 40 or 60 thousand dollars in their home country. Do you have 20 thousand dollars in the bank? Could you come up with 20 thousand dollars right now? They pay for flights across the ocean, for food, drinks, lodging, new clothes, guides, smart phones + GPS, tents, supplies, bus fares, train fares. It is not a free journey. This is not a poor person.
You do not have to be a citizen to rent an apartment; non-U.S. citizens, including illegal immigrants, can rent an apartment. A landlord cannot legally deny a rental application based on country of origin, religious status, etc.
Is the Philippines PH a poor 3rd world or 4th world country forever and forever?
What is humane about hundreds of rapes of migrants who travel north from South America through lawless stretches of Columbia and Panama?
There is plenty of land in Brazil, and in all of these countries. There are plenty of vacant houses in their countries, and plenty of land they could build houses on. With $20, 000 US dollars, they could easily buy a house in their home countries.
Illegal immigrants cannot receive welfare benefits because they are by definition undocumented, and you cannot apply for welfare without proper documentation. But there is a way around this. It is called filling out an Asylum application.
What are the differences between INFJ-T and INFJ A?
That is why Mayor Eric Adams announced painful budget cuts to New York City citizen services which cuts just about every public service : such as a freeze on police hiring, the next five generations of classes at the police academy are canceled - dropping staffing levels to the 1980's level, and libraries are now closed on Sunday's and he warned that more cuts would be necessary to pay for the illegal migrants upkeep.
Pull factors such as easy entry level jobs in the USA that give a currency exchange rate many times greater than what it is worth in the USA - chiefly allowing them to retire young and wealthy back home.
There are many cultures who immigrate to the USA and are SHOCKED that their wife has to work. They are used to living a lifestyle where the husband earns everything and they can still easily rent a place and eventually buy a single family home, while still having 12 kids.
Subway owner buys mega-popular chicken chain in $1 billion deal - AL.com
Ask yourself: Why would 1.8 million people pay the cartels to sneak them in when they could simply turn themselves over to U.S. authorities be processed, get a warm bed, a hot meal, medical attention and transportation to the city of their choice?
Lets list one more
Don’t make assumptions about the backgrounds of the illegal immigrants. Don’t biasedly assume that ALL OF THEM have nothing. No cash stashed away, no valuable jewelry to pawn for cash, no income, no connections, and just nothing.
I'll put it to you this way. If an apartment is up for rent and the landlord doesn't get anyone who wants it, and months and months pass, the landlord will be forced to LOWER the rent he is asking for. In contrast, when 50 people all put in applications and are eager to rent the landlord realizes he can raise the rent even higher. When the other landlord nearby see's how that rent was raised on the sign in the window or in the advertisement - she will say to herself that she can get that price too. And up goes her prices too. So on and so forth.
Many of them are home owners in their home countries too. No one talks about that fact.
These people rent apartments and they literally buy homes.
They retire young and rich back in their homelands.
The population there is thriving as the population is set to not go down - as it would if the women hit the threshold of calories being 10% below that required for maintenance-- but to DOUBLE by 2050 to 2.5 billion people and by 2100 it will account for a whopping 39% of the world's total population! They have PLENTY of land for everyone to live on too, and the UN has given them detailed instructions for many decades on how to effectively farm to feed the entire continent- there is so much unfarmed PRISTINE farmland - Africa is 3 times the size of the USA! - they have the most arable (good) farmland in the entire world that is not being farmed! The farming would result in a surplus to export to the rest of the world for profit - if they ever become interested in following the guidelines the UN has been giving them for decades on how to do it. Nevertheless, as the population explodes, their offspring, and the offspring of the offspring will continue to come to the USA, rent our apartments and buy our houses up. And this is because the USA currency buys a lot in their countries
Another myth is that they want to stay in the USA. It’s a myth that everyone comes here and nobody ever leaves
Well why are they full?
volunteers helped them search market-rate apartment listings too.
For me personally, I am not willing to sacrifice animal habitats -meadows, open ranges, forests, or wetlands, for human expansion. Nor am I willing to sacrifice open grazing land and farm lands - which my country needs to be self sufficient- for human expansion.
They come here with a financial plan, and retiring young back in their home countries is the entire point.
You don't think that the majority of the illegal immigrants are living under the highway overpass with homeless US citizens do you? Of course not. Tax payers - like you and me- are paying for the rent for huge numbers of them. Rent, food, hospital visits, doctors appointments, surgeries, medication, lots of clothes, furniture, dishes, haircuts, glasses, strollers, car seats, toys, shoes. You name it.
They buy up the used appliances, and they buy up the new appliances. 6 million people in 3 years is not a joke. It hurts you everywhere.
One woman recently interviewed at the border said she came because she wants to work in the USA for a couple of years and go back to her home country and buy all of her children brand new homes. That really stuck with me - how lucrative it is to just work in the USA for even 2 years. I will never have the opportunity to buy all my children brand new homes. No one ever asked her exactly how many children she has…. but the currency exchange rate allows her to work for minimum wage and then buy many houses. That’s incredible.
And you compete with them for apartment rentals and home prices.
I don't have to list it all, these behaviors occur everywhere in the country.
True Asylum is a very rare thing. And there are thousands of countries a true Asylum seeker could apply to. Only a few would end up applying to the countries that have the highest currency rate, the best welfare and free social services packages. True asylum seekers never wanted to leave their home country, and want to get citizenship in one of the 180 countries near their place of origin, where the language is the same, the values are the same, and the culture is the same.
And we have to pay for their job training, English language classes, school fees and special tutors at school to address each illegal immigrants specific educational deficit or obstacle which takes away the money that would have been spent on your own kids education, and it takes away quality classroom instruction time from our own children - our very future- meanwhile your property tax which pays for these bills never goes down, it always goes up, free social welfare food stamps/EBT monthly assistance, free food boxes from food pantry's that were supposed to go to US citizens, but now there is less nutritious food because it has been taken, free school lunches paid for as always by US citizens paying more tax, cash for clothing, and US citizens being asked & guilted into donating our clothing. and the draw on used clothing that US citizens relied on for their own families but are now being taken by millions from all over the world, we buy their medical care, dental care, and eye glasses, the insane hospital bills for minor medical issues that never required a hospital that the public must now pay for because the people working at the hospital are not slaves, we pay their housing bill each month, and other administrative fees? Meanwhile we are taxed hard and then we have to compete with the rest of them that are flush with cash - renting apartments and buying up homes?
Push factors such as the buying power of the USA dollar being worth more in their home country,
What is humane about the nightmare faced by unaccompanied migrant children even after they arrive in America?
Our families are struggling. In the USA people have small families or no kids at all because we cannot afford them. We use birth control instead. Plenty of us can never retire. Especially not with how hard we are taxed to provide the rest of the world with cash. Our elderly are grocery store clerks at walmart, they aren’t allowed the luxury of playing cards with the other old men all day - sitting outside, gossiping about the village, at an old wood table like they get to do in the Sub-Saharan African countryside.
Meanwhile China has 1.412 billion people, and Africa is set to DOUBLE by 2050 to 2.5 billion people. Do you know how many people live in the USA? We have 333 million people.
Yeah, sure America and Canada and Europe could keep knocking down trees, tearing up whatever natural habitats are left, and building new apartment blocks to house the billions of people being born in the world who would prefer to earn American dollars rather than their own because the dollar will buy them 4 times the amount in their home country. But is that wise?
This again means there are less apartments and houses for US citizens. And it drives up the cost of rent. Supply and demand my friend.
They don’t even have to have much of a plan. Once they get here we will pay for everything and set them up with everything they need out the mouths of our own children. Because we are very generous people - much more generous than they are used to in their own cultures.
But coming here LEGALLY takes time. Applications, and a process.
Many have made so much money they even BUILD a house to live in back in their home countries, and invest in businesses like a tortilleria ( making tortillas or other bakery products), which they can run if they still feel like working.
In 2022, a record 250,00 migrants made this crossing. In 2023, that number rose to 460,000.
You must be familiar with the way many Chinese people made it in the USA and became very wealthy? They would get here, 20 of them would rent a 3 bedroom apartment. They save save save their money. Open a restaurant. Everyone works at the restaurant. More family comes over from their homeland. They rent more places, and some of them are now flush enough to be buying a bunch of houses. That was a pretty typical strategy back in the 1990's. Obviously China's middle class is now way larger and stronger and wealthier than our own middle class, and they are quite well off today, so today they just buy houses in the USA, and don't even bother to move here. They just have the houses as investments.
Massachusetts is full. They literally are sending a delegation to the border to tell illegal migrants to NOT take a plane to Boston because there is no more housing for them, (or anybody else in need for that matter), whatsoever. Their state is FULL.
It is not about Asylum. It is about the money. The men come to make money. With true Asylum you have massive numbers of women, grandma’s, elderly, infants, and girls flooding the border - such as the women and girls seen fleeing in the hundreds of thousands to border countries when Russia attacked Ukraine. But not young men.
Were they living on the streets of their homelands, destitute and in rags before they came here? Or do they actually have some degree of means and some level of wealth? And they just wanted to cut corners and fast track into the USA for the fast cash?
The Hernandez family owns a gorgeous farm in Mexico where they enjoy expensive horses, and grow plants/ raise crops as well. They are very wealthy after working in the USA for a few years. And they are still young enough to ride horses and enjoy life in retirement, because they retired early, due to their smart immigration strategy.
That is part of the reason they all fill out asylum claim forms. This secures them the money they are after. These people enter here illegally, but once they fill the form out they have a new status called “legal” and qualify for all free welfare benefits given to refugees. Now that they are “legal”, it only takes 5 years before they ALSO now qualify for all other forms of welfare and social services.
Over 6 million people from around the world have arrived in the USA in the past 3 years alone. That doesn't count the ones that came undetected and refuse to turn themselves into border patrol.
Yeah, New Yorkers work hard. All US citizens work hard. It is why we have a few more kitchen gadgets than you do in Mexico. When you work a lot, at the expense of not seeing your kids, and not having weekends off, and not enjoying the holidays, you can buy a few more things.
Small business owners get rich really quick when hiring illegals paid 1/10 of regular salaries, they have no paid vacation and can get fired for any reason. And illegals will work for this money because it is still worth more in their home countries.
As a majority of Border Patrol agents are pulled off the frontlines—to mix baby formula in Border Patrol stations, wash baby bottles, ferry sick migrants to U.S. hospitals, or process their asylum claims—criminal organization exploit the gaping holes in America's security.
Catholic Charities, MIRA Coalition, IINE, RIAC, or the MA Office for Refugees and Immigrants also work for free for them -and link them up with apartments and houses to rent. But in the past few years, since there have been a lot of advertisements sent out worldwide online about all the free benefits in the USA (and Europe), the floods of immigrants coming here has stretched these programs very thin.
Why bother to do that when you can walk right in under a fake Asylum claim?
Most of them leave when they are ready to retire.
Don't forget that just because someone speaks a different language than you it doesn't mean they are not as normal as the next person. They have the same motivations as any other person you'll ever meet at the Ballpark or in Downtown Chicago.
We know the LEGAL immigrants are almost always professionals with robust financial means. As they are required to have a certain amount of money in the bank to support themselves once they arrive and to meet other requirements so that they don't drain the welfare system, so on and so forth.
A return to the homeland has always characterized Mexico-U.S. migration. For a long time, mainly men alone traveled back and forth between their cities and towns and the United States, earning dollars during months long stays.
They work really hard in the USA, because Americans work more hours than they do in their own countries. And then they retire to a slower pace of life back in their home countries, where people don’t work as many hours and don’t make as much money, but they enjoy a lot more of each day with family and friends.
Don't make the mental mistake of thinking that just because immigrants are from a different country it means they were some sort of poor homeless person living on the street before they got here. That would mean you have a very slanted view of the rest of the world. We have our poor, they have their poor, we have our billionaires, they have their billionaires - yes even in Sub-Saharan Africa there are lots of billionaires. Of course there are.
Obviously this mass immigration problem is not just A USA problem - they are going to every European country on the earth and Canada and Australia.
The tax money is supposed to go into a collective pot. Its supposed to pays for neighborhood activities for people to lead normal lives. But after school activities are canceled, universal pre-kindergarten program has less funding. And now the public schools are over crowded from the illegal immigrants. That is abusive towards the people who live there and pay for that schooling. This obviously hurt working-class families and people who NEED their children to be able to go to these recreation centers. They also cut funding to public schools and to the sanitation department. So we are talking lower education standards, rats and garbage on the streets, and we all know the cops are needed for the high crime in NYC.
How many people do you know who do NOT own a home in the USA? A lot I bet.
Needless to say the number of immigrants going there suddenly dropped.
If Haiti had a currency that was worth more than the USA dollar, the immigrants would instead flock to Haiti. And then Haiti would have a housing crisis due to “Asylum” seekers.
I support people to come here on temporary work permits though - for a limited number of occupations. Not that we need them, for instance- Europeans have been farming for tens of thousands of years and are great farmers, and even have backyard gardens because they love farming so much - it is in their blood, but limited occupations on a temporary visa seems like a healthy path.
Apparently they were choosing Denmark for the generous welfare, and not because they were desperate asylum seekers. A desperate asylum seeker doesn't take a vacation in the country they claim they are afraid of and ran from. And Denmark knows that.
Sure a few of them prostitute themselves to get here, that is not the norm. And some of them prostitute themselves as full time work once they arrive - and though they don't have to, the allure is fast cash - no doubt many of them (but not all) were already prostitutes in their homelands. But US citizens prostituting themselves willingly is not a new thing either. I just saw a documentary of a US woman who has no plans to stop, she loves the cash. It's great money.
Besides, if they actually needed asylum, they could apply to one of the 18 countries surrounding their homeland, where they speak the same language and have the same culture and values, but they don't want to do that. Because that is not where the money is. It's about the money.
And
What is humane about a record high of nearly 1,400 migrant deaths on U.S. soil over the last two years?
And now we have to compete with them for houses and apartments too.
People in the USA have no equivalent place they can go do that same thing. We cannot just move someplace and work for a short time and retire back to the USA, young and rich. And living in the USA is expensive -because we are taxed very hard so that we can send our money we earned to other peoples families in other countries- so we never really get ahead. Now add in competing with millions of new people a year, every year, year after year. Don't you watch the hours of border crossing footage like I do? You don't really think that those people have name brand expensive ball caps with Silver Holographic Stickers, perfect designer jeans, and smart phones, before they even get picked up by border patrol, because they are poor do you?
And don’t miss the part about population stability.
What this means is, the only illegal immigrants of any kind who receive any aid are people who crossed the border illegally and fill out an Asylum form pretending to be a refugee.
Cash goes a long way and people feel bad for others who are hard on their luck and seem to be in need. Most people, even landlords, want to help where they can.
That is why Denmark has recently passed a new law which states that if an immigrant takes a vacation in the country they claim they needed Asylum from, they lose their immigration status and are thrown out of Denmark. This has been a huge problem with so called “asylum” seekers in European countries. Immigrants also must surrender most types of valuable jewelry (but not wedding rings) when they enter Denmark to go towards the social services drain the immigrants draw from.
The citizens paid tax to pay for these programs, but their hard earned money is being diverted to millions of people from around the world.
Sub-Saharan Africa has nicer looking cities than the USA has, you might not have known that. Also, 1 in 5 US citizens live in a rural area, while 50% of the African population lives in cities. Most of them have never even seen a lion or a giraffe except in a zoo. This isn't a National Geographic magazine from the 1940s - and my aunt no longer gets her ice for her ice box delivered by horse and wagon in the USA anymore either. As wonderful as it would be to see a horse trotting down the street, times have changed. Times have changed across the entire world! My grandmother used to wash clothes on a washboard, by hand! if you even know what a washboard is. Cars and motorcycles are driven all over Africa!
Can illegal immigrants get disability benefits? Of course! These benefits are available regardless of immigration status.
You are competing with huge populations of people, populations that are much larger than anything you are used to in the USA, and they have a money making mindset. While you are thinking you would like a family in a nice neighborhood, the ones coming here are thinking how do I make the most money, send a bunch home, and retire back in <insert country> young and rich?
This means, at best, they snap up hundreds of thousands of places to live, and at worse they snap up millions of places to live.
It is kind of like if you were on the local co-ed volleyball team, but suddenly the men's world Olympic team showed up and started to play against you. Just because they don't speak English very well doesn't mean their mind is not busy and thinking. Don't look down on the migrants. These people are opportunistic, strategic, planning, thinking, intelligent enough to have the cash to get here, savvy with the internet and technology, and risk takers.
People leave their countries in response to push factors and pull factors,
And what of the lives of American citizens lost or upended by the flow of deadly drugs from Mexico?
The 1996, Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act. prohibits illegal immigrants from receiving welfare, and it bars legal immigrants from receiving welfare for five years after entering the country.
A new program in Maine provides illegal immigrants with free housing for up to two years.
People in the USA limit the number of children they have, not because they don’t love their families, but because they don’t have that kind of money.
The bad guys know that the border is inadequately guarded . That should scare the hell out of each and every American.
How are we supposed to provide welfare for the immigrants, rip out our forests to build all the housing they demand, and send them AID money to their home countries? There really aren't that many of us. People of European decent only make up less than 17% of the worlds population. Mathematically, is it even possible for that few number of humans to work enough hours to support the lifestyles of BILLIONS of people?
Why? Aren’t they desperately in need of Asylum and only chose Denmark because it is a safe place?
Renting an apartment and being legal are two different matters. There are not any specific laws that prevent renting to somebody who is illegal. So there is no legal problem renting to them.
