But they aren’t documented so they wouldn’t be pa…..nvm
This is a huge misconception for regular Americans. When the government uses the phrase “undocumented” they’re using it incorrectly because if they were truly undocumented then they would’ve be in system. However these immigrants are in the system and they pay taxes, file tax returns and get no benefits that citizens and legal residents get. They also get to see ICE showing up at their doors because the government has their addresses.
Fun fact. “Undocumented” workers pays $12 billion dollars every year in taxes.

Reblogging for info.
“Undocumented” just means “without papers,” i.e. a social security card, valid visa, etc. They’re still on databases and whatnot, they just don’t have the documentation that allows them to reap the benefits.
so if it didn’t click- the government is aware of their presence and gladly taking their money under the table while simultaneously promoting the idea that undocumented people are a threat and encouraging hatred and distrust of them it’s super messed up, literally the scheme of an evil villain, and it’s really happening
🗣 undocumented immigrants in Los Angeles contribute more to the GDP than the state of Montana and like 5 other states
i was informed that timon from the lion king’s last name is berkowitz and i didn’t believe it so i went on the disney wiki to check and found out that there’s a spinoff show episode where he defies god and becomes immortal
My favorite thing about Fallout New Vegas is that it’s sheer ridiculousness has manifested itself within Courier Six themself with the community. When you think of the Courier, you do not think of the ruff and tuff Cowboy of the Mojave, the mysterious and brave Ranger of New Vegas. You think of the Fucking Mailman. That Piece of Shit running around killing mutant nightmares and hanging out with Elvis impersonators. The Guy that dragged ass across the entire Desert to stab the anus of Mr. “What in The Goddamn” Benny. That Crazy Dude that crawled out of their own grave and thought “fuck it, New Vegas is mine now”. THAT, is Courier Fuckmothering Six.
