Yeah I take your meaning that the severity of the freeloading is negligible in most cases.

I was just trying to demonstrate how an illegal immigrant could in principal be “taking” from the system for the person who asked.

An easy example is not paying income tax. Some illegals work for cash because they’re undocumented and so pay no income tax. When that person uses public stuff like roads and local dog parks and anything that’s ultimately paid for with taxes, they’re taking benefits and not paying back into the system.

Whether or not we might want to deport someone or otherwise punish them for this “freeloading” is a separate question, but I don’t think there’s much of an argument to say that no amount of freeloading is happening at all.

‘claim’

Lmao that’s a strong word for an off-the-cuff conversational riff you saw on social media.

You can’t keep secrets from the future.

Heard that once in a song about how all encryption is doomed to break against future math/computing power. Great eery phrase.
