So you believe that when a foreigner comes into the country, they simply just exist and take up space? You don’t think they, you know, buy things and work?
So you’re actually arguing against a straw man then. You’ve invented this concept of “inhabitant”, as something less than a citizen, and not given any actual evidence for it’s existence, or valid justification for why it deserves less than a citizen.
Irregular immigrants contribute to the communities they exist in. They help their neighbors, they perform work, they pay taxes via sales tax, gas tax, etc. In fact, by the metrics of tax contribution, they contribute a higher percentage of their income back to their local municipalities than most citizens. Saying they don’t contribute is outright racist.

I’ve read the whole thread, how do you think I got down here?
This is what you just said. Can you explain how I mischaracterized it? I feel like I just reworded this sentence pretty directly.

If your analogy is based on consumption it makes no sense.
Meanwhile, I could drop eat from mine response and the point stands with a dry place to sit.
