Foreign workers have received 52% of American jobs since 2007

This cruel and unnecessary change is designed to uproot students, workers, and families who contribute to our communities and have waited years for their green card. Trump’s USCIS is trying to destroy pathways to legal immigration—but we will continue to fight back.

600 ft…no agua. To put it in perspective that’s “roughly” a 60 story building. Maybe it’s my turn for some pain. What are we betting on? 700ft, 800 ft, 900 ft, 1,000 feet deep? I’m going with 700. Building on the side of mountain is not for the faint of heart.

The medic took my core temp - 107.8 degrees F I was in the Special Forces Qualification Course. I had done some hard training events. But I had never been this broken off. It was a hot, humid summer morning in North Carolina. 12 mile ruck 55 lbs dry + water. Finish in 3 hours or less. Not a big deal, felt routine at this point in training. 90 minutes later we lost 30%-40% of the class to heat exhaustion or heat stroke. The deep sandy trail was littered with Green Beret Students lying on the ground. We had a MASCAL. More heat casualties than our medics could handle. At mile 9 I was all the way f*cked up. I moved like a drunken zombie, praying out loud between heaving breaths. "God... I need help. See me through." At 2 hours 59 seconds, I fell across the finish line. I realize the timing sounds fabricated. An instructor saw that I was in a bad place. He ordered a medic to get my core temperature. A medic gave me the silver bullet (If you know, you know). Temp read 107.8. I was transported to the hospital in the back of a truck filled with other heat casualties. The Doctor informed me that people can die of heat stroke when the body's temperature rises to 104 and 106 degrees. The hospital room cleared and I laid back in the hospital bed and stared at the fluorescent lights. My eyes filled with tears. Not of sadness or pain. It was a sense of deeply personal triumph. Growing up, I had a long history of quitting when things got hard. I hated that part of myself - the quitter. That day, I knew there was no longer any quit in me. I'm sharing this post not as a flex or to glorify foolish resolve. I share this story as proof that a man can change his nature. That you can leave past limitations behind. I'm not special, I just didn't quit.

About a 8 years ago, my wife and I were leaving my grandparents house. Parked parallel. About to pull out. Just us two in the car. My wife forgot to check the side mirror. I was waving bye to my family. Looking the other way. My wife felt a hand on her shoulder and heard a whisper in her ear from behind her. “Wait.” A second later, a giant SUV flew past. If my wife had turned into the street, she would’ve died. I might have too. That moment haunted my wife for weeks after, and we still both remember it to this day. Atheists are too quick to dismiss the supernatural. I’m sure the comments will soon be filled with “Hallucination” “She imagine it” “You made that up” And other similar responses. But my wife was one of the biggest skeptics of spirits until that event. It changed her. Guardian angels are real. Jesus sends them to protect and defend from darkness. His plans are higher than our ways and thoughts higher than our thoughts. So many people out there have stories just like ours. I don’t have enough faith to be an atheist.

An alien who is in the U.S. temporarily and wants a Green Card must return to their home country to apply. This policy allows our immigration system to function as the law intended instead of incentivizing loopholes. The era of abusing our nation’s immigration system is over.
