    Texas DPS Lt. Chris Olivarez predicts deportations ‘will save taxpayer money’

    “It is going to be very costly, right, to have this massive deportation operation, but I think if we look back the last four years how much money has been spent on illegal immigration, it’s been in the billions, and that’s on the taxpayer,” Olivarez said, then cited soon-to-be border czar Tom Homan. “Again, as Tom mentioned, in the long run, it will save taxpayer money because now they won’t have to fund the custody and care of illegal immigrants that are in the country right now.”

    Biden's mistake was importing millions of unskilled welfare cases.
    What if Biden imported legal H-1B visa workers in the millions.
    Big tech would be all set, but Dem's have shit for brains wasting everyone's time.
    Elon and Vivek were promised the moon by Trump, so was maga.
    Ann Coulter remembers Trump, less evil is all we get.

    Illegal immigrants are not eligible for welfare -- repeat this over and over until you understand it.

    Most illegal immigrants are economic migrants -- they come to the U.S. to work. Most of them work very hard in jobs not wanted by Americans in agriculture, construction and other fields.

    The U.S. needs a balanced immigration policy where the incoming immigrants are matched against the skills needed in the market (similar to Canada's). There is a need in the U.S. for nurses, drivers, construction workers... as well as tech folks.

    The issue with H-1B visas is that the system is a form of indentured servitude where they are stuck working for a single corporation which can greatly under-pay them.

    The U.S. immigration system needs to be reform to admit people based on skills and allow them to work for any employer who needs that skill.

    Are you also the kind of mark who falls for car salesmen's pitches on saving money?

    Let’s break this down: 'If we look back over the last four years... it’s been in the billions', but let’s compare that to the guaranteed $86+ billion a year this plan is projected to cost.

    Well if high-school educated Lt. Chris Olivarez says so it's not half-court tennis where the loss of labour costs nothing on top.

    Sure, it’ll all pay off in the 'long run,' right? It is a cash funnel to a GIGANTIC steal. Again.

    There are viable solutions, this ain't it.

    Sucker.

    Now, when you have built a massive infrastructure and a corporate industry that like for profit prisons, lobbies for more customers, expect them to try and stay in business. Totalitarian regeims always need new enemies to persecute. A version of this is certain. Unless you think the US prison industrial complex is peachy.
