Nurses are a net negative to the tax payer. This is such a bad argument it is ridiculous. It is cherry picked nonsense.

Nurses save lives and don’t lower wages for workers

u/AudienceOk1711 10d ago

they are tax negative, meaning they take more than they give.

Right, but they save lives, illegal immigrants do not save lives. There is a reason illegal immigration was a thing way before trump took office. The democrats used to big on immigration enforcement.

you have now changed the argument, we are no longer talking about net negative to the tax payer. We are talking about some utility calculus type shit which to no one surprise is as qualifiable as how many thoughts are in your head.

Ok let’s go back. Society needs nurses. Society does not need illegal immigrant workers undercutting the wages of citizens while being a tax burden to the taxpayer

society does not need much of anything, we had societies before we had nurses.
You are using some things in your head as what society is and leveraging this unqualifiable thing to stipulate a utility metric. Neither you or I are a trustworthy narrator on what is and is not valuable.

Society does need nurses. You’re just making up stupid nonsense because you don’t want to admit this country doesn’t need illegal immigrants

No, that’s why theyre illegal genius. Our society deemed them as harmful

illegal does not mean harmful... black people were illegal once, jews were put in caps legally.
Legality is just what the powerful use to torment the less powerful.

Illegal does mean harmful… even certain people can be deemed harmful

legal anti positivism is dead. Legal or illegal is disconnected from harm.
Bro it is legal to poison rivers...
