All I have is an awareness of all the ways I've spent the government's money. Looking at the things I have access, to they cost a lot. It's not a BAD thing when people take out more than they put in. It's the entire point of our infrastructure, that people who can't be productive enough to meaningfully contribute to it can still, say, have a smart phone and internet and air conditioning and transportation. Not everyone can be a doctor or lawyer or engineer, but lawfully residing in the US makes it way easier to live comfortably than most places.
I don't know if granting all those privileges to as many people as come over is sustainable, and knowing what those costs are is a really important step to answering that question.

i appreciate that you typed out what appears to be your honest line of reasoning

i guess people sort of start with what they can see. kind of explains why people in the states that accept the most federal aid tend to vote against federal aid- they see more being drained than being replaced and make those negative associations with the system

obviously i have a slightly different perspective, but i don't have the stats to back myself up

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.
