How Mass Illegal Immigration impacts citizens with autism

Post Reply New Topic

America has always had both legal and illegal immigration. Unlike, say countries in Europe or most other places, we Americans aren't just one specific tribe but are from everywhere; our diversity is our identity. That's not to say we haven't had the curse of nativism in our history, as every new group coming in has been seen as "the other" by reactionary elements. Very often, this is based on ugly ethnic or religious prejudice. Eventually, the "other," whether they be Germans, Irish, Africans, Chinese, or Haitians, become accepted as Americans by most, with each adding to America's cultural tapestry. And without immigration, with falling birthrates, who's going to pay for our social security when we're old and demented?

How exactly is that possible? They don’t qualify for anything and yet their taxes are taken out of their checks automatically.

Again, you think employers are explicitly exempting their illegal immigrant workers from automatic tax deductions in their payroll? And risking getting caught by the tax man and immigration?

Do you think the government won’t take illegal immigrant money? As if the government cares!

Your math doesn’t add up.



No, it’s pretty obvious that both OP and you think that once the immigrants are kicked out, everything will be “fine”.

But they won’t be, because the actual core issues will still be there, completely unaddressed.

But hey, you’ll feel better so I guess there’s that.



I literally pasted a link to a source for my assertion. Not my fault you failed to click it.



Typical right wing garbage right here. “They don’t agree with me, therefore I’m being censored / silenced!”

Uhh no

Disagreement is not the same as “being silenced”. Your post is right here for all to see, no censorship or “silencing”. Not being deleted. Still 100% readable.



This post is 100% drama.

No, and I think it's pretty classist to suggest such a thing. There are plenty of "low status" people who are liberal, tolerant, and open-minded. There are plenty of high-status people who are small-minded, nationalist, and intolerant - Boris Johnson, Kemi Badenoch, Jacob Rees-Mogg, Jeremy Corbyn, Donald Trump, Rupert Murdoch, Nigel Farage, Douglas Murray... Heck, there's a case that the anti-immigration movement is primarily driven by multi-millionaires.

The "high status" thing to do is to say "it's not racist to be against immigration" and "we need reasonable controls", and other virtue-signalling lies.

I feel like it's significantly those guys using immigrants as a distraction so that regular people don't pay enough attention to the crooks making off with all the money.

Thank you for posting this I couldn't agree with you more. One thing that particularly pisses me off is that immigrants take low level jobs in the service and labour industries that are often filled by people with disabilities and teenagers looking for their first job. And yes I agree we already had it hard enough before the housing and cost of living crisis.

It's nice to know that I'm not the only Canadian thinking this way.

I feel that this has been planned and not an example of incompetence as many mainstream conservatives do. The Canadian government is doing a very good job of making native born Canadians into second class citizens.

I don't know how it works in the US, but in Canada employers pay illegals in cash since you need a SIN number to work and pay taxes.

So there are three well known methods here.

The first is for the illegal immigrant to use a fake or stolen social security number. I assume this is also happens in Canada, with an SIN.

In that case, taxes are taken out normally as if they were here legally. The migrant usually doesn’t file taxes in this case. (what’s the point? They won’t get anything anyway and they already paid taxes automatically through payroll).

The next is paying in cash, aka “under the table” in the US.

However, employers can only do this for so long until the IRS catches a mismatch between their reported revenue and their payroll taxes. Once a high enough delta is reached, the employer ends up highly likely to get audited and ends up responsible for all of the missed payroll taxes, plus interest.

This is an enormous pain for employers, so historically, employers would actually generate a check with all taxes taken out, then cash out the check and give the cash to the migrant. Once again, taxes paid.

Employers hate cash now though, so a more common tactic these days is to illegally put people on a 1099 and make employees responsible for their own taxes.

However, in order to do this, you have to have a tax identification number. Citizens use their social security number. Non-citizens can use an ITIN, which is not supposed to be used for employment but often is anyway since a 1099 is “technically” not the same thing.

So now the IRS knows this person, who is here illegally, works at X company, makes Y money, and will owe Z dollars in taxes at the end of the year.

This is common knowledge, and this heavily incentivizes migrants to formally file and pay taxes (while getting no exemptions or returns, unlike citizens). The government, the IRS, employer, and TurboTax all win here.

And if they don’t, the migrant gets a scary government letter in the mail saying they owe money.

Thus is why, in the us, if you’ve ever been to a Latino festival there’s almost always someone there who can help with filing taxes and opening bank accounts with an ITIN.

They will take hotels that are better served to homeless autistic people with dreams.

Japanese style zoning at a state level would fix this problem.

I'd imagine immigrants - illegal or legal - have dreams, too. And some of them are even autistic.

Do you literally mean hotel rooms, or housing more broadly?

Either way, building more to ensure there's an adequate supply is the solution, not blaming immigrants for a lack of hotel rooms and other shelter. Seething at immigrants won't solve anything.

I didn't have much time to mention detail this at my OP, but you are absolutely, positively right about the impact of LEGAL mass migration. In fact, I think the impact of mass, uncontrolled LEGAL migration is ACTUALLY WORSE than that of illegal immigration. Here in the U.S., in fact, there are at least several different kinds of visas that are being exploited and used for it's intended purpose (with unintentional harm to native born citizens or legal residents deemed worthy) to legally fill up many job and career path positions. Among the worst offenders of granting mass migrants jobs and rights to the detriment of for native born citizens and worthy legal residents are TPS (Temporary Protected Status which allows many downright illegal migrants to get "legal" status and all the rights and benefits of that) and the H1-B visa program.

If black Americans are feeling the brunt from the large elephant in the room, which is why many black Americans communities are in shambles, imagine the magnitude that elephant has on native born Americans or rightful legal residents that have autism or I/DD. You know the quirks and special interests we have that can really be helpful to advance civilization and better mankind in precise detail (yeah, think Microsoft)? Guess what, all these foreigners with H1-B visas are occupying and narrowing career paths for people like us that have savant-like quirks for our special interest. Perhaps isn't that one of the prime reasons why 85% of people with what professionals call us "high functioning autistics" are unemployed. It's the same reason why I'm now working measly 10 hours at BurgerFi despite the fact that I'm a college grad with a bachelor's and I've applied to like at least 10 different professional positions with marine science since then, since Marine Biology is my favorite interest. In an interview for one of those entry-level professional dream positions, there was like 5 Indians and 1 Chinese exchange student. In another such interview, 2 were black people speaking Haitian creole and 3 Spanish speaking people who barely knew English and I was the only white guy who speaks English well. Plus my career fair looked like an international airport terminal.
My father is a Cuban who went through a rightfully arduous process to be deemed worthy of U.S. residency. Imagine the process he took to obtain U.S. citizenship: On top of all the Constitutional tests, he even had to spend one year outside the U.S. (my dad chose to spend that year in Canada) to prove himself he is even worthy to be considered a U.S. citizen, for which he had thankfully officially been for almost 50 years!!

I endorse this message. Thank you for speaking the truth, good sir.
