Illegals add an estimated 100 billion in taxes but cost an estimated 150 million. To your point, they stimulate the economy when they pay rent, shop for goods, etc but there is also the accompanying cost in the form of law enforcement, fire, schools, transportation/road maintenence, etc. Let's stop pushing this, "we'd be lost without them" narrative. And frankly a lot of the money earned by Central/South American workforces, leaves the country. Let's stop acting like entire familes are coming here and simply setting up shop and becoming upstanding members of society. There are plenty of single, working age males, which is always a recipe for disaster, and plenty of women with fatherless children. Bringing in a ton of people who immediately join the lowest economic tier is not a good thing, regardless of how you spin in. Again, it simply drains already tapped resources. @wallstreetcappers And just so we're clear one one thing, you can't simply assign people a side to justify your combative inclinations towards them. I'm sick and tired of people telling you they aren't even "maga" for you to tell them that they are, and then proceed to dress them down. You're a covers moderator, not the final authority of people's beliefs and/or opinions. I am not, nor have I ever been, a "maga". I have beliefs that are extremely conservative. I have beliefs that are extremely liberal. I simply supported Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton, and over Joe Biden. I base my political opinions on policy, not personality. It seems there are plenty on this website who are anti-Trump simply because they dislike the person he is. And these same people struggle to find policy reasons why they supported Joe Biden, or why they support Kamala Harris. Illegal immigration isca big issue with me. You can sweep it under the rug as a non-issue but I know this to be false. The economy is the economy. It will be what it is regardless of who holds office. I support many Democratic agendas. I believe in enrlvironmental protectioin. I believe in green energy development and research. And no, that doesn't mean jumping feet first in with regulations. It means research and development. Growing the sector in the right way. I also am against corporate tax cuts/incentives. For this election though, illegal immigration is my biggest issue because I have seen the effects with my own eyes, across multiple states. Kamala Harris will win my home state. I once predicted she would be the first female president when she was still DA od San Francisco. I met her more than once in those days and wa impressed. The woman I met is not who stands before us today, and i'm not sure what that party did to her but alas, I will support her if she wins. If she loses though, it won't be because the country is racist, or sexists. It will be bacause her agenda, the agenda of the democratic party, does not align with that of the American people.

@wallstreetcappers He divorced his old wife for a new young wife.
You doubled down on your mistake and now trying to deflect..... just say you were wrong on move on. Point taken on Cuban but nonetheless, your comment on the "kid wife" and trading out for a younger model is far from accurate, it is flat out wrong. People need to do a better job of admitting when they are wrong and taking accountability of their actions. The world would be a better place.... |

@benhogan76 I did not watch / listen so I cannot comment. I did not say I "trust" IQ tests but understanding how they work relative to scale of range on human intelligence can be a useful metric.

@DogbiteWilliams It is a great opportunity to lock in profits. 2020 I remember big swings from like Trump +800 to Biden +1200 type of stuff. Limits are the problem, have multiple books |

@benhogan76 127 IQ vs. 98 average. So above average intelligence of the 50/50 everyday Joe. Far from genius. IQ scores generally fall within one standard deviation of the mean. So he could be closer to average than further above it but nonetheless, above the "average Joe". |

@StumpTownStu To your point.... $150 billion in 2023. https://nypost.com/2024/10/23/us-news/migrant-crisis-cost-150bn-in-2023-local-towns-cutting-costs-to-cope/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=nypost
Why would we have "Mexico pay for it" when the very very vast majority of illegals ARE NOT Mexicans..... We need to boot the illegal criminals. Immigration reform is long overdue but incorporating skilled and unskilled immigration into workforce is necessary for long term success. I'll take the short term medicine correction needed, painful yes, but in the long term it will pay off. Just like when our markets crash. Short term problem for long term fix... |

@wallstreetcappers He divorced his old wife for a new young wife. The comment was that Jeff lacks the strong character than Cuban has, the wife comment was that he got wealthy, ditched the old car and got a new younger car and started pumping iron going through his mid life crisis. Yeah what a weird comment, Bezos lacks the ability to take a hard strong stance in a tough moment, Cuban is the exact opposite. Good contribution there.
I can see your TDS is flaring up big time as we get closer to Doomsday next Tuesday. Take a step back for a moment and see you are off the rails here trying to make up for your misuse of the "kid wife" comment in a dig attempt. Bezos ex-wife is McKenzie Scott. She is early 50s. Bezos new wife is same age. Good contribution but try again bud.... |

+160 Trump wins electoral and popular vote. A popular vote win for Trump would make people's heads explode in this cesspool. |

@wallstreetcappers What a putz, maybe his kid wife threatened to divorce him.
Not sure what kind of dig this is supposed to be His wife is Tony Gonzales' ex-wife and mother of their adult son. She is like 50+ years old. Weird comment. |

@StumpTownStu You think deporting illegals is more costly than granting them "asylum", and essentially all the benefits of citizenship. More than natural born citizens in some cases. Housing. Medical. Not to mention these illegal aliens often settle in impoverished areas with limited resources, stressing an already fragile balance.
$150 billion in 2023. Point well made. https://nypost.com/2024/10/23/us-news/migrant-crisis-cost-150bn-in-2023-local-towns-cutting-costs-to-cope/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=nypost |

@StumpTownStu Thank you for the first hand account. "Boots on the ground" reports like these are flooding the Nation. Mid lives in one of the most affluent areas in all of the Country, WPB down through Boca into FLL. He does not know of what you speak of. |

We will enter a recession. It will get bad. Trump will be blamed. We will return to very low rates / ZIRP. Everything will moon. History is cyclical, it will repeat. |

@Midnight1 As a nation we can't deport 16 million + illegals & the cost would be astronomical. It's a logistical nightmare. I've never seen anyone introduce a plan as to how we would accomplish this. A depleted workforce would play havoc with our economy.
I don't disagree. The criminal illegals would be enough. We need to encourage LEGAL immigration. Merit based amongst the workforce. Skilled and unskilled as there are plenty of industries in need. |

@wallstreetcappers Top of the morning to you good sir. First off, and this has been well established and documented over the past 4 years here, I am not “mad” at anyone. I do not let my emotions control my critical thinking, deductive reasoning and evaluation tools. Because I comment on things that I find value in commenting doesn’t make me “fixated”. I choose to ignore and not spend much time in here anymore because it is truly a waste of time and I do not find the entertainment value here busting balls like it used to be in the good ole days. The “Biden swap” as you call it was an unprecedented event in our political history. It was as close as a coup de etat as you will see in this Country. I do not apologize for continuing to remind people what the reality of the situation is. “Tighter race” lmao yeah 3 months ago….oh how things have changed. If you go back to my post in the thread and read it and understand it, then you will see that my comment was not about Kamala. It was about the fact that SHE was the candidate they chose to replace the sitting POTUS. It is not HER fault, not at all. I’m not “blaming” her for anything. It is the regime who decided she will be the next sock puppet to be the face of the regime. When you choose someone that needs to be shielded from who she really is then you are already in trouble. We KNOW who Trump is. It is well documented. They knew what the bar was and they just need to go a bit above that level. Again, Shapiro would have done this very well. They failed. She is dumb AF. Simple. Sarah Pailin style. Shapiro or anyone else would have been a much better choice. “She is a stronger candidate than Biden” Really!? She is barely a bump above him with regards to putting together any unscripted coherent argument. Yes, I agree with you on Bernie. But that is how the regime works. That is why we must save America before it is too late. 2028 will be too late. |

If they are allowed to do this, mass amnesty for all illegals as Kamala says, then there will be no more "swing" states left come 2028. We will become Europe as its known today.....the fall of western civilization. https://x.com/america/status/1849108531573555490
