Any rational person would look at this and think, „Wow, what an amazing demographic miracle.“ But alas in America we’re trying to „solve“ this as a „problem.“ 🤷🏾♂️

Dude, wtf is up with the time labels on the bottom-right graph? The time increments are all over the place and, at one point, it seems like 2 different labels overlap each other, making both unreadable.

Once again, the immigrants are doing a job that Americans don’t want to do. What else is new

reminder that something like 80+% of all undocumented or unauthorized immigrants came through all the legal channels, and then simply had their paperwork expire.
Why does paperwork expire? Many many reasons that I won’t go into in depth here but the main ones are money (*thousands of dollars in fees to maintain*), time (*years of waiting*), location (*no embassy or immigration office local*), employer (*if at any point the employer chooses not to refile*), or family (*choosing to stay with family instead of returning home to start the process all over, especially when the home country might present dangers or risk if being unable to return*).
Being undocumented is not a crime. It is a civil issue, a paperwork issue. Undocumented individuals commit violent crime at a rate 10× LESS than born citizens.

What about births to legal tourists? That was popular with a certain wealthy set a few years ago. How many were there?
The motivation was that it becomes far easier to get your kid into a US college or job when they grow up if they already have the passport.
