Mainly its not undocumented migrants that cause issues it’s their citizen-born kids And thats why birthright ctznshp needs to end.

I constantly see the right attributing costs, crime, etc to undocumente/illegal aliens… and then I see the left offering statistics that show undocumented people just are hard working people who keep their heads down and are legally unable to consume benefits meant for citizens. And how they commit less crimes that native born citizens, etc…

for crime Stuff:

As someone who lives in a community with a large undocumented population.. It’s become clear to me that the issues don’t come from undocumented adults. it’s their citizen born children. They are the ones I see every week on the news being arrested for gang related violence and crime. But despite the fact that they wouldn’t be here if not for their parents breaking the law… their crime rates are counted as U.S. native born citizen crime rates.

for the government benefit stuff: this is easier to track, and so not as much of an opinion… but according to some people it *is* an opinion and shouldn’t matter… but yes, undocumented people don’t consume much welfare.. cause they don’t qualify. But when they work under the table and so it looks like their income is 0… and then they have multiple citizen kids… that 0 income makes those kids eligible for every government benefit out there. There’s statistics that show how households headed by undocumented people get hundreds of dollars more govern support. And this is why! Even when immigration advocates have challenged these numbers, their challenge consists of “well.. the kids are American citizens… so they shouldn’t count…”

BUT IF THEIR PARENTS DIDN’t BREAK THE LAW AND UNLAWFULLY LIVE HERE, THEY WOULDN’T BE CITIZENS!
