I genuinely couldn't give a fuck about the tax implications. If you need vulnerable, targeted people to be cash-flow positive in order to find empathy for them, you're a shitty human being.
The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.
The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets.

I’m shocked - SHOCKED - to discover that the militant adherence to the idea of online discourse requiring infinite free speech turned out to be nothing more than purposefully exploiting the paradox of tolerance to push the Overton window as far as possible towards technofascism.

Anyone have a list of airlines that don't work with ICE?
a woman reached out to donate 500,000 delta skymiles to get people home to MN as they are released from custody in TX.
we're getting flights booked today. it should be enough to get at least 15 people home.
delta should be doing for free since they take ICE money.

Seeing that photo of Obama putting the Medal of Freedom on Tom Homan circulate again. It's fake. Homan did get a civil service award during the Obama administration, but it wasn't the Medal of Freedom, it wasn't a medal (it was a certificate), and Obama didn't present it to him in person.

DHS doesn’t even bother trying to lie well. The man whose skull was shattered told the hospital he’d been struck by ICE officers, an ICE officer told hospital staff the guy “got his sh*t rocked,” then when it became clear how badly he was injured, they claimed he deliberately ran into a wall.

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners.

Federal agents cornered Marimar Martinez, shot her several times, boasted about it, arrested her, lied about her to the public and in the police report, and falsely charged her with assaulting them.
Now the government wants to keep evidence of their lies secret to protect these agents' "privacy."

The events of today are a great illustration of why conservatives object to the teaching of history.
The hell they are currently unleashing on the world is the anti-American history they will decry and censor in the decades ahead.
