    I hear the “why should I pay for them” from second or third generation immigrants where “them” refers to people from their own parents’/grandparents’ old country.

    I’m a naturalized citizen and honestly? I couldn’t give a shit less if my tax dollars help out an illegal immigrant, and I’m really tired of rationalizing it to others.

      Seriously. I would 1000x prefer my tax money to go to health care for literally anyone rather than it be used to turn children in a foreign land into skeletons and there seems to be plenty of budget to go around for that
