Can I tell you a secret? I don't care if there are undocumented immigrants in this country. I think it's a non-issue. Without social security numbers they're not getting the welfare people claim they're getting, the vast majority of them are normal people trying to live a better life.
This whole wall deport-the-illegals bullshit is just the one percent convincing the working poor to blame a subset of the working poor for the fact that they're all poor, instead of realizing they're all poor due to vast income inequality and resource price inflation in combination with wage stagnation.
The existence of another poor person is not why you're poor. It's because the people who control everything refuse to increase your wages.

Bingo. They have no intention of reopening the govt - at lease not in its current form.

They’re shutting down those parts of the government that DOGE did not already decimate

the last thing they’ll do is dismiss Congress, then institute a heritage foundation supported Christian nationalist govt.

No matter how loudly you proclaim your piousness, no matter how large the cross you wear, you cannot reconcile the plain teachings of the Bible with these evil policies, which are literally killing kids.

These people all have theirs. They will be fine. They’re paid well to be working at shutting down governmental agencies and institutions, and social infrastructure as they set up the new Heritage Foundation supported Christian Nationalist coup government.
