He also showed that EVERYONE costs tax payers more than they pay in taxes.
This is not a property unique to immigrants.

Here was the argument:
Scot: Should my tax dollars to go creating documents in a language I
can't read?
Russell: Should non-english speaker's tax dollars go to creating
documents in a language THEY can't read?
Scot: That makes no sense.
Russell: Exactly. The argument that says a person's tax dollars should
only go toward documents that the taxpayer can read doesn't make sense.
Scot: You're attacking me, not my argument!
Uh... where, exactly, did Russell attack anything BUT your argument?
He proved your argument made no sense and you called that a personal
attack.
