Philadelphia says they're ready to arrest federal agents if they try to mess with state sovereignty.
I hope they do, Maga are a bunch of traitors messing with our constitution and democracy. The feds weaponizing the army against their own citizens is traitorous and they need to have their due process in court.
Absolutely right! Wouldn’t want to stop the mass slaughter of the innocent in those areas. For heaven’s sake, people could go out to eat and not be murdered! That would be awful. “Democracy” is so much safer without those murdered innocents running around complaining of being murdered, or being the children of the murdered, or the wives of the murdered, or the friends of the murdered. You are right! How can any sensible person think that these people in these cities can raise their children to respect and others? Of course, you think that a person has to be respected to respect others. Not so.
My mom NEVER spanked my brother. He was a haughty arrogant a**hole. But, he never disrespected anyone but her. When he got his drivers license she told him if he got arrested he would have to stay in jail until law enforcement let him out. She said she would NEVER go to the police station to get him out. Not ever. He didn’t break the law and he didn’t get into any place where he might be accused. He didn’t care if he were guilty or innocent. Mom was not going to show her face at the county jail. That was the only time in his life that she mothered him.

Are you actually saying immigrants are mass slaughtering people by the thousands 🤡
For heaven’s sake, people could go out to eat and not be murdered! That would be awful.
Lol I've lived in cities, people are eating just fine.
“Democracy” is so much safer without those murdered innocents running around complaining of being murdered, or being the children of the murdered, or the wives of the murdered, or the friends of the murdered.
Again, immigrants are mass killing people?
That's what you're saying lol

I'm sure alot of people in the cities raise their children just fine.

@MarthannBann888 Making stuff up. There is no "mass slaughter". Violent crime has been going down for 30 years. But you need to spread fear to justify your fascist dictator cult leader.
And then you go off on a random tangent advocating child abuse. That is a choice.
Well, Satan, here’s the deal. No one thinks migrants are killing people en mass.
If that is the case the GOP and conservatives in general are liars because that has been a major talking point since 2016.
According to the US BORDER SERVICE the fentanyl is smuggled in by American citizens, NOT immigrants. In fact the border service has even been implicated in helping smuggle the drugs in.
Again, trafficking is mostly a domestic issue and illegal trafficking is either people like Trump best friend Epstein or carried out largely by eastern European gangs.....in other words whites who are not being detained at all by ICE.
And again you repeat the lie that immigrants are collecting benefits which is a lie. In fact it is the exact opposite. They put millions into the system ever year. Money and benefits they will never access.
So they are literally subsidizing people like you.
Public schools get worse and overcrowded when conservatives defund them. Funny how that works. It is a great way to justify privatization and selling off the education of Americans to corporations and private schools that can legally make sure education is exclusively for the wealthy like it is 1600 again.
Healthcare fails in the US because it is a for profit venture and healthcare is just a side effect. It is not the goal. Making millions is the goal.
If Americans die that is irrelevant in a for profit system.
For profit healthcare companies give 6 figure bonuses for denying care and United Healthcare literally has AI denying claims and overruling doctors.
The only person with an agenda that actively harms people is you.
I mean border agents were caught trafficking immigrant children and they are likely American 🤡
Anyways all of what you claim is easily looked up:
Fentanyl Deaths:
It's true that fentanyl overdose deaths are a national crisis—approximately 73,000 Americans died from fentanyl overdoses in the most recent year, but these deaths are not directly caused “by migrants.” The illegal drug is trafficked largely by organized crime, not individual migrants.
Child Trafficking:
Migrant children are indeed at risk for exploitation and trafficking due to vulnerability, but claims of mass deaths are not supported by reliable evidence. Concerns are real, but large-scale murder statistics do not exist for trafficking, migrant or otherwise.
Public Services and Benefits:
Most noncitizen immigrants—including undocumented ones—have much less access to public benefits than citizens.Federal laws restrict many types of government aid; eligible immigrants use benefits at lower rates than US-born citizens. Data does not show that citizens “die because migrants get better resources”—on the contrary, immigrants are more often uninsured and face more barriers to access than citizens
Government Waste/Fraud Allegations:
There is no evidence to support broad claims that “Democrats steal money from these programs.” Oversight of government funds is a bipartisan issue, not a partisan conspiracy.
Schools and Overcrowding:
Some cities and districts face strain due to surges of migrant children—New York City, for example, received thousands of new students recently. This leads to local overcrowding or added costs, but the assertion that all schools are “overcrowded” is exaggerated. Effects are concentrated in a few areas, not universal.
Healthcare Overcrowding:
Migrants are more likely to lack health insurance and skip care due to costs, legal fears, language barriers, and limited eligibility. Most data shows citizens use far more healthcare resources per person, and claims that migrants cause citizens to “die due to delayed services” are not supported by health policy research. Many immigrants actually subsidize the system by paying more in premiums/taxes than they receive in care. In fact, immigrants represent a significant part of the US healthcare workforce and help alleviate shortages, not worsen them
But there's plenty more, there's peer reviewed papers on this.
From the second link:
This analysis finds that, on average, annual per capita health care expenditures for immigrants, including naturalized citizens and noncitizens, are about two-thirds of those for U.S.-born citizens overall ($4,875 vs. $7,277). This reflects lower spending for most types of health care, including office-based visits, prescription drugs, inpatient care, outpatient care, and dental care. Among average per capita expenditures, the relative amount paid by most payment sources is lower for immigrants compared to U.S.-born people, including private coverage, Medicare, and out-of-pocket spending.
There is no significant difference in average emergency room and Medicaid expenditures between U.S.-born citizens and immigrantsThese patterns suggest that immigrants use less health care than U.S.-born people and often rely on the emergency room when they do seek care.
Lower use of health care among immigrants likely reflects a combination of them being younger and healthier than their U.S.-born counterparts as well as them facing increased barriers to care, including lower rates of coverage due to more limited access to private coverage and Medicaid eligibility restrictions for immigrants.
In general, lawfully present immigrants must have a “qualified” immigration status to be eligible for Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and many must wait five years after obtaining qualified status before they may enroll.
Undocumented immigrants are not eligible to enroll.
This data note provides further insight into health care expenditures for immigrants by analyzing their average per capita health care expenditures and comparing them to expenditures for U.S.-born people overall and by health care services and payment sources using data from the 2021 Medical Expenditures Panel Survey.
You are totally missing the point. No doubt migrants are younger and use less care. What ever care they have is paid by U.S. citizens. 12 million people. That is an incredible burden. We had no say in this outrage. Now you say we are unreasonable. You had a say in this, and you denigrate conservatives and call all kinds of names you would never call anyone else. Liberals don’t mind calling conservatives all kinds of names you would never call anyone else, and then you say it is us. DT is the worst treated president in US history. You say you are justified, but you are not. Migrants use educational facilities regardless that we are not able to pay all of this. Food stamps, housing, cars to drive, and goes on and on. We pay all of this and for the personal benefits dems have stolen from these programs. Why should I have to pay for stolen funds.
@MarthannBann888 I'm not missing the point, you're inventing reasons to stay prejudiced:
1. Migrants and Healthcare
Claim: Migrants are younger, use less care, but what they do use is paid by U.S. citizens.
Reality: Most immigrants, especially undocumented ones, are not eligible for federal health insurance programs like Medicare and Medicaid. They often pay out-of-pocket or avoid care altogether. Studies show immigrants (both documented and undocumented) use less healthcare overall compared to U.S.-born citizens
2. Number of Migrants
Claim: “12 million people.”
Reality: That number refers to undocumented immigrants—a rough estimate that has stayed stable at around 11–12 million for more than a decade. It isn’t an ongoing “flood” as it’s sometimes portrayed
3. Education and Public Benefits
Claim: Migrants use schools, food stamps, housing, cars, etc.
Reality:
Public schools: Children, regardless of immigration status, are entitled to K–12 education (Supreme Court ruling Plyler v. Doe).
Welfare/food stamps (SNAP):
Undocumented immigrants are not eligible. Legal immigrants often face a 5-year waiting period before qualifying.
Housing assistance: Undocumented immigrants do not qualify.
Cars to drive:
Migrants buy and insure cars themselves, like anyone else.
4. Who Pays Taxes
Many immigrants (even undocumented) pay taxes through payroll withholding, sales taxes, and property taxes (directly or through rent). In fact, undocumented immigrants contribute an estimated $12 billion annually in state and local taxes.
5. “Stolen Funds” and Corruption
Corruption and misuse of funds do exist in government, but that’s not specifically tied to immigrants or one party. Both parties have histories of mismanaging programs.
6. Trump as “worst treated president”
That’s a matter of opinion, not fact. Some presidents (like Lincoln, Kennedy, or Nixon) faced assassination, impeachment, or deep national division. Trump was certainly controversial and polarizing, but “worst treated” is a political talking point, not an objective truth.
✅ Bottom Line:
Migrants, especially undocumented ones, generally don’t have access to the very benefits listed.
They tend to contribute more in taxes than they take in services.
The idea that they are an “incredible burden” isn’t supported by economic data—if anything, they help sustain the workforce and pay into systems (like Social Security) they’ll never be able to claim.
@MoveAlong You would have thought they know this since these facts are easily researched. I just don't get where people want to believe stuff that's either half true or all false.
