But they aren’t documented so they wouldn’t be pa…..nvm

This is a huge misconception for regular Americans. When the government uses the phrase “undocumented” they’re using it incorrectly because if they were truly undocumented then they would’ve be in system. However these immigrants are in the system and they pay taxes, file tax returns and get no benefits that citizens and legal residents get. They also get to see ICE showing up at their doors because the government has their addresses. Fun fact. “Undocumented” workers pays $12 billion dollars every year in taxes. https://www.google.com/amp/www.forbes.com/sites/niallmccarthy/2016/10/06/how-much-tax-do-americas-undocumented-immigrants-actually-pay-infographic/amp/

Reblogging for info.

“Undocumented” just means “without papers,” i.e. a social security card, valid visa, etc. They’re still on databases and whatnot, they just don’t have the documentation that allows them to reap the benefits.

so if it didn’t click- the government is aware of their presence and gladly taking their money under the table while simultaneously promoting the idea that undocumented people are a threat and encouraging hatred and distrust of them it’s super messed up, literally the scheme of an evil villain, and it’s really happening

🗣 undocumented immigrants in Los Angeles contribute more to the GDP than the state of Montana and like 5 other states

JUNGKOOK FINALLY GOT THAT FRIDAY NIGHT DATE W/ YUGYEOM.

what i can’t even wrap my head around is, even if this whole thing is a misunderstanding lost in translation, that some of you were out here literally telling lgbt+ people to calm down and not be offended in the face of possible homophobia and making them feel like their feelings weren’t valid and making them feel too scared to voice their opinions,,, at the end of the day, we should all be there for each other and support and validate each other’s feelings even if we don’t necessarily agree. some of you went out of your way to defend an idol you barely know over people in your community who were scared and offended and devastated. some of you bent over backwards today to defend the indefensible and i, and the lgbt+ community, will remember that

@HamiltonMusical: Tonight, VP-Elect Mike Pence attended #HamiltonBway. After the show, @BrandonVDixon delivered the following statement on behalf of the show.

an idol dieting for health reasons is one thing. an idol dieting because their fans prefer them to look skinnier is another. an idol having naturally tan skin or getting tan skin from performing or going outside for a while is one thing. an idol apologizing to their fans for having tan skin and using skin lightening products because their fans prefer them to have fairer skin is another. this is harmful on so many levels, physically and emotionally. they shouldn’t have to apologize for the way they look or change themselves in any matter. i’m tired of all of these ‘fans’ trying to make their idol look like their ideal type when they should already love them for who they are.

And iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii~iiii will never get over this

Also, here’s a very important thing: a lot of abusive people will not show their abusive side at all in front of non-victims. Perhaps your friend claims her mother is emotionally abusive, but when you meet her mother, the woman is very sweet and generous and makes for great conversation and even treats you guys to ice cream or something.

Abusive people are alarmingly good at coming across as perfectly good people when they’re not alone with their victims,. They can flip like a switch between being scary and being amiable. Some might even go the extra mile to turn people against you, making it seem like you’re just being selfish and they’re not at fault. The two-faced act may not always be intentional, but that doesn’t make it any less damaging. In fact, it can make things worse because people may not believe you and you may not get the support you need.

So, if someone tells you that their parent/significant other/etc is emotionally abusive, and your first thought is “But they were so nice when I met them!”, this is probably what’s happening. Please don’t dismiss them just because you may have had a positive experience with someone that makes their life hell when you’re not looking. Listen to them.
