we really do just use them as slave labor, which is why I think people don't really care

we have zero legal Mexicans
if you're hispanic you are 99% certain to be illegal
there are 3x as many black people in Virginia than there are Mexicans apparently
and Asians are 2x
the ones we do have all all around DC according to this map
Replying to Dolfin #dolfinmaster i did see this, but this was also supposed to be a thing in 2020 that was blatantly ignored
there's also this https://x.com/PeterBernegger/status/1821185441904591029
If we ever bothered to actually close our border, I think I'd be more in favor of deporting people
it just seems pointless if they just come right back in
I think deep down we just really want slaves still, and illegal Mexicans are the most-legal way to achieve that
for what? they're both net drains on everything
but we don't seem to care about that stat either
I didn't know if you meant something specific to compare them with
neither are necessary, but you can't logistically (or politically) get rid of them
so you give them government hand outs to sit still and shut up and vaguely participate in society sometimes
In reality they just keep to their own little insular communities
and other than being a financial burden (which is not unique to them) I don't really think it affects peoples actual lives
if one day we decided we wanted to shore up our economy and audit all the money pits in the US, then I think you could look at demographic groups who are just black holes of resource waste
but we don't seem interested in doing that, so society mostly just self-segregates
and we ignore that 20-30% of our fake and gay economy is handed out to those on the dole
if you close your eyes when you see one, it's like they're not even there!
true isolation

i think theyre technically a finanical benefit
I think they're a macroeconomic negative, and a microeconomic boon for businesses

if you zoom in, people LOVE slaves
