    beyond the fact that their bullshit ‘facts’ are all rooted in racism,

    1. why are migrants assumed to be unemployed? the state can provide them with a job. in which case, the ‘net return’ (i know its reducing humans to numbers) may be positive.

    2. why are the billionaires accumulating wealth without being taxed (or better, their life and financial assets deleted from existence).

    3. why can’t the state build the housing? why is Government money being funneled into private bank accounts increasing their wealth

      The malicious density is real. For every comment suggesting that the government might be engaged in a corruption scheme to funnel 90% of this money to hotel/security CEOs, a dozen more just engage in this (((the muslims))) are taking your money!!! shit straight out of the_donald.

    When I post about the cost, I get obliterated on Reddit by people who have clearly never used a calculator. … For every thousand illegal migrants, a billion or more leaves our bank account.

    Take out your calculator, reddit man, and write it a nice prompt, “What is one billion divided by one thousand?”

    Oh I see they’re extrapolating. https://xkcd.com/605/ for the redditors in the house.

    Gee I wonder if housing them in hotel rooms that cost hundreds of dollars per room per night instead of building subsidized housing or using any of the millions of empty homes would bring down costs.

    “My program of just abandoning a car when it runs out of gas and buying a new one has really exploded my transportation costs.”

    “If we believe everything porky tells us about the scary brown people, we’ll suddenly go against his interests and let his speculative assets plummet as a thank you present.”

    We say you’re a racist because you’d rather blame brown people but god forbid someone tells you porky is the problem, porky is benefiting from all of this.

    Fucking idiots can’t even do math. Going by the headline’s numbers, it would be 41,000*1000 = 41 million.
