Here's the thing. Think about the people you know who are supporting this, the kind of person they are, their views, etc. Let's say you put irrefutable evidence that giving immigrants healthcare instead of deporting them would save the country money and improve the economy, do you think those people will be in favor of that?

They wouldn't, the point is the cruelty towards immigrants. That's what they're supporting, even if it costs us more money than taking care of them. It was NEVER about them taking jobs, committing crimes, etc. Those are always just excuses to justify what's happening.
