Yes. And when is some good economist going to make the point that taking a massive bite out of the workforce that depends on that money to live will massively impact consumer spending and potentially tank the economy?

And in 2022 paid 46.8 billion in federal taxes, 29.3 billion in state and local government taxes and 22.6 billion in Socisl Security...which they may never see in benefits.

Many people don't understand the extent to which "illegals" aka undocumented workers support the economy. We need to share the data on this. They make up 13.7% of the construction workforce; 12.7% of agriculture; 7.1% of hospitality.

We need to find a way to be the voice for civil servants who are being targeted. They can no longer speak up about the changes that are being made to turn our government into a dictatorship but as private citizens we can be their mouthpiece so they can remain anonymous.
