Thirteen federal workers who were laid off during the DOGE cuts tell NBC News they struggled to find work, had to move or took major pay cuts after their agencies were gutted. nbcnews.com/politics/doge/…

@HorrorGorl Agreed. It also starts with parents instilling good values into their kids.

Police don’t prevent crime. They show up after it happens. Crime prevention starts with funding social programs and creating opportunity.

@JustinTHaskins @CatoInstitute @David_J_Bier They're given a TIN in order to pay taxes. But if this is anything like a previous post these guys made, they're counting the extra tax revenue from them driving up property values due to large demand when the supply stayed the same
English
@CatoInstitute @David_J_Bier How do they pay taxes without committing fraud, engaging in identity theft, or committing some other crime? Why is it that some people are allowed to commit those kinds of serious crimes but other people are not?

Illegal immigrants have paid about $3 trillion in taxes over the last 30 years and likely reduced deficits by $1.7 trillion, says Cato’s @David_J_Bier.
Check out the data:

I find it absolutely hilarious that Illhan Omar revised her financials from $30M to $90,000.
It’s so Somali.
“Oh no they noticed I’m committing fraud. Quick, delete everything! Tell them I’m completely broke. They’ll never find out now.”
Comically stupid.

@yvessirae If you're angry about that then it's because you're stupid since that doesn't actually happen.

@TheWarMonitor @atrupar You call anyone who even sets foot on US soil American so honestly good riddance
English
@atrupar That's Americans leaving. Nobody wants to be here anymore.

Trump: "For the first time in more than 50 years, we now have reverse migration. A beautiful thing actually."
English
@David_J_Bier Lol so if someone sneaks in then they should get citizenship as long as they're sneaky for long enough?
English
Once someone has lived in the United States for 10 years, the statute of limitations on deporting them should expire, and they should be left alone unless they victimize someone.
English
@AaronRegunberg Honestly, I don't give a shit. Every tax goes the same way
1. It's only on a select few
2. Need more money, so expand the tax
3. Need more money, so expand the tax
4. It's a normal tax that now affects most people
English
It's literally -- literally -- a tax on empty luxury properties that nobody lives in. These people already live in Florida, you dumbass.

A more useful way to think about immigration: the tiny cohort of people who self-select to leave one place and move to another are unrepresentative of the population of the place they're leaving in many ways, including being much better suited to the place they chose to go
Stephen Miller@StephenM
A useful way to think about migration is to consider what kind of societies the migrants have built in their home countries and to what extent you would like those conditions replicated here.
English
@itsrosesm Lol your argument basically calls out Republicans too for doing the reverse of that. Why is one ok and the other isn't? One is constitutionally protected.
English
Why do liberals demand gun control after every shooting, but never border control after every rape or murder by illegals?
English
@RepTiffany Illegal immigrants can't get welfare, but they give legal status to anyone who hops the border and says the magic asylum words.
English
@hashjenni What a weird comparison to make. Literacy and reading level are not at all the same things.

What does it take for this individual to face the consequences of her actions?

Ilhan Omar requested a $1 million earmark for a “substance abuse clinic” that was actually a restaurant run by Somalis
English
@ChristianHeiens Yea, immigration is the one thing Trump is doing right this term
English
Fantastic endorsement of the Trump administration by the guys at the Cato Institute. Really worth a read.
My favorite part was the 99.9% drop in asylum requests on the southern border under Trump, the 90% cut in refugee admissions under Trump, and the 90% cut in new H-1B visa issuance under Trump.
David J. Bier@David_J_Bier
Trump has cut legal immigration more than illegal immigration, as I predicted. While illegal entries have fallen, they continued a prior trend, falling more before he came back. Meanwhile, Trump has cut legal entries, reversing the prior upward trend.
English
@bonchieredstate How are you getting $2? The tax is something like 67 cents per gallon. A lot of the extra cost comes from the special blend that's required by law there
English
The State of California makes more money off a gallon of gas than the oil company that refined it and got it to market.
Almost $2 of every gallon there goes to Sacramento’s coffers.
And these people are *still* mumbling about “corporate greed” and more taxes.
Rep. Ro Khanna@RepRoKhanna
Trump's immoral and reckless war in Iran has shot up gas prices in my district to nearly $6 a gallon. Stop the war, stop exporting our crude oil, and pass my windfall profits tax on Big Oil to give Americans a rebate for their gas bills.

@fire_starter457 @Barry65841134 If they're physically unable to work then they are still eligible for SNAP
English
@Barry65841134 And if they are physically unable to work hence the need for SNAP? Or if they are in the military or employed by WalMart hence the need for SNAP?
English
So much winning in Arizona!
Thanks to MAGA, more than 400,000 Arizonans have been kicked off of SNAP, the highest figure of all states.
Almost 50% of Arizona SNAP participants have now lost their benefits.
Stop voting for Republicans.

@NickNehamas That's fucked up. We deport people for criticizing Israel but probably wouldn't do the same if they were criticizing the US
English
Exclusive: The Trump administration has fired two immigration judges who blocked the deportations of Rumeysa Ozturk and Mohsen Mahdawi, two int'l students who expressed pro-Palestinian views. Four other judges were fired on Friday too.

@odedanilo Computer science major here. All but maybe 3 classes were a breeze and I procrastinated in everything including any studying. If you think university was "extremely difficult", you're probably dumb
English
Yes it does . University is extremely difficult , you don’t get there and graduate because of ‘luck’

I have a mix of conservative, liberal and centrist followers. It's not possible for me to tweet without making a decent percentage of my followers angry.
But I'm wondering if you are in that very small percentage of my followers who find yourself agreeing with my tweets at least 80% of the time.
If you are, please reply in the affirmative, and provide a brief description of your political orientation, if you don't mind.
