We don’t really need to increase taxes for this, we have the money, but we are passing it away doing stupid things like funding the genocide in Gaza, giving the rich tax breaks, etc.
But regardless, I don’t mind if my taxes go up for it, as it is an important issue that actually effects people. I’d rather live in a country where the entire population is paying taxes and having rights.
And at the end of the day, immigrants are a net positive for the economy in most cases. Them paying taxes will lower the need for me to pay taxes. It’s an upfront cost to get them set up with their lives here, but I’m willing to pay for it.
