@BernieSanders You're such a fraud. Feeding children has nothing to do with trans animals studies.

Absolutely, David! This right here.
When employers hire undocumented immigrants and pay them in cash, bypassing tax and welfare contributions, several negative impacts can arise for American citizens and the broader economy: **Tax Revenue Loss:** **Federal and State Taxes:** Undocumented workers paid in cash typically do not pay income taxes on their earnings. This leads to a reduction in tax revenue, which could otherwise fund public services such as education, healthcare, and infrastructure. Social Security and Medicare:** These workers do not contribute to Social Security or Medicare through payroll taxes, which are crucial sources of funding for these programs, especially for future benefits. **Welfare and Public Services:** While undocumented immigrants may not directly receive many welfare benefits, the services they use (such as public education for their children or emergency healthcare) are funded by tax dollars to which they do not contribute. This situation can strain public resources. **Labor Market and Wage Suppression:** - **Depressed Wages:** Paying undocumented workers under the table often allows employers to hire them at lower wages than legal workers, which can depress wages in certain industries, particularly those with high concentrations of undocumented workers, such as agriculture, construction, and hospitality. - **Unfair Competition:** This practice creates an uneven playing field for legal workers and businesses that comply with labor laws, potentially leading to job displacement or declining job quality for American citizens. **Economic Inequality:** This practice can exacerbate income inequality, as undocumented workers are often exploited, resulting in lower wages without benefits. This, in turn, impacts the economic mobility of the lowest wage earners in the community. **Regulatory and Legal Risks:** Businesses that engage in these practices face legal risks, which can result in fines or closures, indirectly affecting local economies and employment stability. **Healthcare Costs:** Without contributing to health insurance or taxes that fund public health programs, the cost of healthcare for undocumented immigrants frequently falls on public health systems or emergency rooms, which are mandated by law to treat anyone regardless of immigration status. **Social Tensions:** The perception or reality of jobs going to undocumented workers can create social tensions, potentially fueling anti-immigrant sentiment and impacting community cohesion.

@Paul_at_PSG @WallStreetApes I was thinking the same thing! There was a big deal made about it, too.

@harryjsisson Dictator stuff would be expanding government, infringing on our rights, capturing the mainstream news, weaponizing propaganda & government agencies, censoring us, etc.. Similar to what Joe Biden was doing.

They've shown their alliance. Send them home.
NEW: Large protest in National City, CA with hundreds of people waving Mexican flags turns violent as some start vandalizing property. The protesters appear to love Mexico enough to wave the flags but not enough to live there considering they are 15 min from the border. The protesters, who blocked traffic, were lashing out against Trump's deportation operation against illegal aliens. Police were forced to break up the protest after deeming it "unlawful."

Also, no one voted for Kamala to be the Democratic party nominee. They installed her, giving NO ONE a chance to choose who We The People wanted. You want a woman president? Allow the people to vote for the female candidate THEY determine most competent and not be forced to vote for a DEI placement.
