Foreign-born workers have accounted for more than half of U.S. labor force growth since 2007, according to analyses of BLS data.



🇺🇸 Most Badass Presidents: Combat Veteran Edition #4 Zachary Taylor Zachary Taylor, our 12th President, was one badass President. Major General known as “Old Rough and Ready” who never lost a battle over forty years on the front lines. Born November 24, 1784, in Orange County, Virginia. The son of a Revolutionary War colonel, Taylor was commissioned directly as a first lieutenant in 1808. In the War of 1812 he brilliantly defended Fort Harrison against a massive siege where he narrowly escaped being burned alive when Indians set the fort's blockhouse on fire. This secured America’s first land victory in that war and earned him a brevet promotion to Major. He led troops in the Black Hawk War, where he commanded over a militia captain by the name Abraham Lincoln. When they captured Chief Black Hawk, he had his lieutenant Jefferson Davis transport him to prison. He survived deadly ambushes in the swamps of the Second Seminole War and earned his famous nickname because he looked more like a rugged farmer than a general, often wearing a battered straw hat and a dusty coat. When war with Mexico erupted in 1846, Taylor took command of U.S. forces in northern Mexico. He would here command a young lieutenant by the name of Grant. He won decisive victories at Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma, where cannonballs decapitated soldiers standing just beside him. At Monterrey he captured the city in savage street fighting, personally leading troops on foot through narrow alleys while snipers rained deadly fire from the rooftops. And at the Battle of Buena Vista, Taylor still won despite being sidelined by President Polk. Worried that Taylor would use his military fame to win the 1848 election, Polk and his administration devised a plan that created a secondary invasion with General Scott. They stripped Taylor of nearly 90% of his veteran troops, roughly 10,000 of them, and ordered him to not attack. General Scott was to have all the glory and win the war. It didn’t matter. Outnumbered nearly four to one by Santa Anna’s 15,000 man army, Taylor refused to retreat despite facing overwhelming odds. A massive Mexican assault surged forward under heavy artillery fire, with a flying piece of shrapnel ripping straight through Taylor's coat. Taylor rode the lines on his favorite horse Old Whitey, fully exposed to musket balls, calmly directing artillery and ordering counterattacks that shattered the enemy charge. He secured the north and won the war of political opinion. The stunning victory made him a national hero and propelled him to the presidency, despite the fact that he had never once voted in a political election prior to his own. He fought for the Republic long before he ever stepped foot in the White House. Thank you, Mr. President! 🇺🇸🫡





The Senate must do the will of the voters. Pass the SAVE America Act.





@CCrowley100 Actually, with Mamdani elected entirely because of the immigrant vote, the problem is that too many people are participating in politics who shouldn’t even be in the country.
