The question was rhetorical and we both already know the answer to that question is no.

So shut your fucking big stupid mouth for once and allow me to enlighten you...

6ix, you and Trump really are committed to the idea that you are the smartest guys in the room. That hasn't worked for either of you, yet you keep repeating it.

Here is another set of facts you will refuse to believe:

The government first began gathering detailed information on benefits use by citizenship status in 1994. The data show:

• For each year from 1994 to 2023, the US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government.

• Over that period, immigrants created a cumulative fiscal surplus of $14.5 trillion in real 2024 US dollars, including $3.9 trillion in savings on interest on the debt.

• Without immigrants, US government public debt at all levels would be at least 205 percent of gross domestic product (GDP)—nearly twice its 2023 level.

In contrast to the poorest people in America paying taxes that keep the government operating, the richest people aren't paying, thanks to the Republican Party's manipulation of the tax collection system, particularly under Donald Trump:
