🧵 Why I’m Still Waiting: An Undocumented American’s Story 1/ I was brought here as a kid, grew up here, pay taxes, work hard. But no path to citizenship. This is my home. Thread to share my journey & seek change. #ImmigrationReform #UndocumentedVoices @FWDus @AIC

Calling for peace after bombing Iran is a fucking joke. Bombs don’t bring peace, they bring escalation, retaliation, and war. Your praise isn’t just political support, it’s fanatical. While you post this bullshit from behind a screen, real people are out there dying and suffering. This post is fucking distasteful.

Just texted @POTUS to congratulate him. Greatest president in American history! I’m speechless. He’s done what no one else could ever do. 🇮🇱🇺🇸

@spiritualshift_ @realtalkstruth His stupid argument was all semantics.

You absolute idiot. Your first sentence contradicts the rest of your post and exposes how little you understand what you’re saying. “Trump didn’t bomb Iran… he targeted nuclear facilities within Iran”? Do you even hear yourself? If he bombed targets inside Iran, then he bombed Iran! It is not complicated. It was a military strike from a nuclear weapons state on a sovereign non nuclear weapons state in Iranian soil. You are so deep in Trump worship that you are literally arguing against your own logic just to defend him. Embarrassing.

President Trump didn’t bomb Iran…he targeted nuclear facilities within Iran. There’s a big difference. Let’s be accurate with our words. His actions weren’t aimed at the Iranian people, but at the Islamic regime and its pursuit of nuclear weapons. 🚨Please share this post! 🚨

Saying “Trump didn’t bomb Iran, he just targeted nuclear facilities” is pure semantics. Like saying “we didn’t punch them, we just struck their chin.” Bombing facilities inside a sovereign country is still bombing that country. There’s no meaningful distinction. A military strike is a military strike. Saying it wasn’t aimed at the people doesn’t change the reality that people bear the consequences through instability, escalation, or retaliation. Intent doesn’t protect civilians from impact. You can frame it however you'd like. Everyone who can think critically will see through your bullshit post.

CEO to employee pay used to be 20 to 1. Now it’s like 400 to 1 or something along those lines. And then they pit the people against each other. Working class vs immigrants. Both innocent. It’s the fucking Elites who are the problem. No checks n balances for these system that let greed take over.

@JackFromHollis @shannonrwatts Woah Jack, you might want to compare us to other countries of our stature. Compare our vacation days, holidays, sick days, and rate of pay. Compare our paternity, maternity leave. Then compare our CEO rates. You will find the issue with our CEO rates. Kick rocks asshole!

Laziest man in the world wants you to work harder.

@1tinglebee @elonmusk You know america was built on the back of immigration, right?

@CalderaOracle @elonmusk I feel for your situation but that is the burden your parents put on you, not America. If they let everyone in it wouldn’t be the country it is. Why should country’s dilute what they have to accommodate others that come and then want to make it crap like where they came from?

This is not ok

That’s just another huge generalization built on lies, and I’m glad you can understand that. Bc that’s exactly what they’re doing to immigrants. People willingly regurgitate the same talking points they hear without researching bc they agree with said talking points. And thats my issue with people. They hold onto beliefs or ideas bc they align with their view of the world, but they fail to question if their beliefs are based on facts and not fear mongering . The media is flooded with propaganda these days and it’s our job as people to sift the gold, like truth, from the dirt of misinformation.

@CalderaOracle @Rothmus Uhm, yes we do. According to Democrats all white people are inherently racist. Most white people are considered white supremacist. Don’t forget, all white people are colonizers living on “stolen” land. That’s why they came up with DEI.

What I Believe About Human Nature — And Why It Matters 🧵 This is personal. Something I’ve wrestled with for a long time — especially as someone who has lived on the margins of a system built on blame and denial. Let’s talk about who we are — and who we could be. @mehdirhasan @chrislhayes @CultureStudy @adamconover @PalestineWrites — I believe human beings are products of their environment. But we’re not all the same — and we don’t all respond to the same environment in the same way. That’s the complexity of human nature. It’s not fixed. It’s shaped. It’s tested. It’s real. @Jonathan_Katz @AJEnglish — There’s no single truth about who we are — only the context we live in and the choices we make within it. Our systems, stories, traumas, and relationships shape us — but we still have agency. That’s why “human nature” matters. Because it isn’t simple. — Take Gaza. Take Hamas. Take the violence. It’s easy to condemn. It’s harder to understand. I don’t believe people are born violent. I believe violence like that is human nature reacting to desperation. Not excused. But explained. @sandylocks @AJWitness — When people are trapped for generations under military occupation — denied freedom and hope — some respond with anger. Some with silence. Some with resistance. Human nature reacts to pressure. But not always the same way. — Now flip it. Let’s talk billionaires. Are they greedy by nature? Maybe. But what matters more is that they live in a system that rewards that greed. That normalizes it. That glorifies it. That’s not just human nature. That’s by design. — A society that praises billionaires while millions suffer has made a decision — not about wealth, but about values. If we build systems around hoarding, exploitation becomes predictable. That’s not proof people are evil. It’s proof the rules are rigged. @AnandWrites @NickHanauer — Cruelty online? People aren’t monsters. They’re misinformed. Addicted to outrage. Soaked in propaganda. Raised to dehumanize. The internet offers anonymity and instant validation — a perfect weapon for people who were never taught to reflect or empathize. — Cruelty isn’t random. It’s what happens when we fail to teach emotional literacy. When we normalize mockery over mercy. When we let algorithms feed the worst in us. That’s not “human nature.” That’s neglected humanity. — So what’s the answer? We need both strong communities and strong leaders. Communities give belonging, protection, shared values. Leaders offer vision, structure, accountability. Together? They create space for the best in us. — Human nature isn’t fixed. It bends under pressure. Grows with love. Breaks when pushed too far. That’s why how we treat people — and how we build systems — matters. We won’t have perfect people. But we can design better reasons to choose good. — We don’t need a perfect world. We need one that protects people from the worst in themselves — and gives them a reason to reach for the best. That’s what I believe about human nature. And that belief shapes everything I fight for. #HumanNature #MoralCourage #SystemicInjustice #Palestine #LeadershipMatters #CriticalThinking #PowerAndPeople

@ladingo1200 @Rothmus This logic is so flawed. I'm sure you can come to that conclusion for yourself.

@CalderaOracle @Rothmus Because Citizens are better. They are my countrymen, immigrants are not.

Morality is a constant battle against entropy

@elonmusk The West destabilizes, exploits, and pollutes, then acts surprised when people flee the chaos. Migration isn’t hypocrisy. It’s consequence. 🤷‍♂️

The same people who blame the West for everything also consider it a human rights violation to stop the rest of Earth from moving here 🤔

@6Carthur19 @Thoughtcrimanal @Rothmus What part of “we need a system that vets, processes, and screens people” sounds like open borders? If that short-circuited your brain, I’m starting to see why complex ideas scare you. You’re out here losing arguments no one’s even making.

@CalderaOracle @Thoughtcrimanal @Rothmus You sound like someone who would be in favour of a world gov with no borders. Only dumb people would want a world like that.

instagram.com/reel/DK2IsCFMf… Divide and conquer.

@zeenuf00 @DookieCough2 @Rothmus The irony of calling facts “retarded” while typing like their brain is buffering. 😂 I’ll let you finish loading before I waste more time.

@CalderaOracle @DookieCough2 @Rothmus Your retarded comment says a lot about you.

I appreciate you saying that, seriously. A lot of people shut the conversation down before even reaching this point. I totally agree, immigrants have always been part of what makes this country strong. And yeah, the system is broken, but when both sides go to extremes, real people get lost in the middle. All I’ve been trying to say is that reform should be honest, humane, and grounded in reality, not fear. Change is long overdue, but it has to come from a place that sees people as people first. Thanks for being open to the conversation. My head hurts now. Enough Twitter for today. Appreciate the conversation, seriously.

@CalderaOracle @Rothmus Look, our system has it flaws, there is no doubt we are a country of immigrants and it’s why we are best at most things. Immigrants are our strength and always have been. I agree, reform is need, but both parties go the far end of the spectrum and neither approach works. CHANGE!

It’s true that Canada, Australia, and New Zealand have felt pressure on housing and infrastructure from high immigration. But saying they’re “getting crushed” is a stretch. In Canada, the population grew fast and rents went up, especially in big cities. So the government cut back on immigration targets, capped student visas, and started expanding housing efforts. (Source: Government of Canada, Globe and Mail) Australia saw rent spikes after COVID when migration picked back up. They responded by tightening visa programs and reviewing how they manage population growth. (Source: The Guardian Australia) New Zealand raised immigration temporarily to fill labor shortages — and now they’re scaling it back. No collapse, just adjustment. (Source: NZ Immigration Ministry) The point is, these countries aren’t getting overwhelmed, they’re making changes. That’s what responsible governments do when things need fixing. They don’t blame immigrants, they manage the system better. So yeah, balance matters. But balance means smart planning, not fear, not finger pointing, and definitely not scapegoating people just trying to build a life.

@CalderaOracle @Rothmus And btw, New Zealand, Australia and Canada are getting crushed by unchecked immigration. Everything needs balance and right now, things are way out of balance.

You said if 1 out of 1,000 crossing illegally is a violent criminal, that is enough to turn all 1,000 away. But that logic is broken. By that standard, we should ban everyone from schools, malls, and churches because one person might be dangerous. We do not operate like that anywhere else in society, because punishing everyone for the actions of a few is not justice. It is fear. And if your concern is really about the one who poses a threat, then mass rejection is not the answer. The answer is building a system that actually works, one that vets, processes, and screens people properly. Right now, people cross outside the system because there is no realistic path for them to use. You cannot complain about risk while defending a system that creates chaos instead of managing it. We use smart screening, good policy, and reasonable enforcement, not fear of the one in a thousand. Otherwise, the one you fear will circumvent the system anyway, and you will have turned away 999 people who would have followed the law if given the chance. I've said my piece. Be well.

@CalderaOracle @Thoughtcrimanal @Rothmus Open borders are wrong. Again if 1 out of a crowd of 1000 trying to cross the border illegally is a violent criminal. That’s enough of a risk to turn all 1000 away. The safety of the tax paying citizens is more important than 999 illegals seeking a better life. Sorry.

Am I really comparing immigration enforcement to slavery? No. I am pointing out that just because something is legal does not automatically make it just. Every country enforces immigration laws, but not every country detains people for months or years in private facilities, with no criminal charges, and forces them to work for a dollar a day under threat of punishment. A federal jury ordered GEO Group to pay 17.3 million dollars in back wages for violating basic labor standards. And since you brought it up , that is forced labor. And forced labor is slavery.

@CalderaOracle @6Carthur19 @Rothmus are you really comparing immigration enforcement actions that literally every single country on earth does with slavery? Including Sheinbaum herself?

The United States does not have the most permissive immigration system in the developed world. Per capita, the U.S. ranks far behind countries like Canada, Australia, and New Zealand in immigrant intake. (Source: OECD Migration Data – oecd.org/migration) The U.S. system is shaped by strict quotas, country caps, and long wait times. (Source: Migration Policy Institute – migrationpolicy.org) For most undocumented people — especially from Mexico and Central America — there is no legal path to apply, no matter how long they wait. (Source: American Immigration Council – americanimmigrationcouncil.org) H-1B visas are capped at 85,000 per year and distributed by lottery. Most employer-sponsored visas require high wages, college degrees, and significant legal fees. (Source: USCIS – uscis.gov) The 10-year reentry bar applies to anyone who’s been undocumented in the U.S. for over a year and then leaves. (Source: INA Section 212(a)(9)(B), also summarized at nilc.org) Canada and other countries use point-based systems that actively encourage immigration based on skills, language ability, and labor demand. (Source: Government of Canada Immigration Portal – canada.ca/en/immigration…) Calling the U.S. system “permissive” ignores how many barriers it actually puts up — especially for working class and poor migrants. That said, respect to you for sponsoring your employees. That process is expensive and complicated, and it proves just how hard it really is to come here legally.

@CalderaOracle @Rothmus Sounds like you don’t like our immigration laws. Kind of funny because we have the most permissive ones in the first world. Btw, I am pro immigration, legal immigration. I have many visa holding employees that I pay a fortune in legal fees to keep legal. Follow the law…

Asked AI to show me who this bill benefits. The following is its breakdown: Who benefits from this bill? ✅ Likely Beneficiaries: 1. High-income earners and business owners The bill extends and expands tax cuts from the 2017 Trump tax law, which mostly benefited wealthy individuals and corporations. While there are some cuts for working people (no tax on tips or overtime), the largest savings go to those with the highest incomes, who pay the most in taxes to begin with. 2. Defense contractors and border security agencies Massive funding for ICE, Border Patrol, and the “Golden Dome” missile defense project puts billions into the hands of government contractors and federal agencies. These funds do not directly help working-class families, and in some cases, they increase surveillance and policing of immigrant communities. 3. Parents of newborns (short-term) The $1,000 "Trump Savings Account" for babies is real — but it’s one-time and symbolic, with no clear long-term impact unless families can afford to contribute to it. For poor families, it sounds nice but does not address root issues like childcare, healthcare, or housing. 🚫 Who may be harmed or left out? 1. Low-income Americans The bill cuts funding or imposes work requirements on programs like Medicaid and food stamps (SNAP). That means millions could lose health coverage or food assistance, especially those in unstable jobs or caregiving roles. 2. Students and borrowers The bill rolls back student loan relief programs and limits income-based repayment. This is a blow to young, working-class people trying to escape debt and build a future. 3. Undocumented immigrants and immigrant families Increased ICE funding, detention centers, and deportation support means more fear, more raids, and more broken families — especially in Latino and mixed-status communities. There’s also a proposed tax on remittances, which could directly hurt immigrants sending money home. 🧠 So who is this really for? Despite the flashy language — no taxes on tips, baby savings, “America First” branding — the big winners are elites, not the everyday people. Billionaires and corporations get permanent tax relief. Defense and security industries get enormous new contracts. Immigrant communities, students, and the poor either get nothing or face new burdens. ⚖️ Net Impact: This is not a people’s bill — it is a power and money bill dressed up with a few crowd-pleasers. Some working-class folks will see small short-term benefits, but the long-term gains go to the top — while the social safety net shrinks and surveillance grows.

“THE ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL” has PASSED the House of Representatives! This is arguably the most significant piece of Legislation that will ever be signed in the History of our Country! The Bill includes MASSIVE Tax CUTS, No Tax on Tips, No Tax on Overtime, Tax Deductions when you purchase an American Made Vehicle, along with strong Border Security measures, Pay Raises for our ICE and Border Patrol Agents, Funding for the Golden Dome, “TRUMP Savings Accounts” for newborn babies, and much more! Great job by Speaker Mike Johnson, and the House Leadership, and thank you to every Republican who voted YES on this Historic Bill! Now, it’s time for our friends in the United States Senate to get to work, and send this Bill to my desk AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! There is no time to waste. The Democrats have lost control of themselves, and are aimlessly wandering around, showing no confidence, grit, or determination. They have forgotten their landslide loss in the Presidential Election, and are warped in the past, hoping someday to revive Open Borders for the World’s criminals to be able to pour into our Country, men to be able to play in women’s sports, and transgender for everybody. They don’t realize that these things, and so many more like them, will NEVER AGAIN happen!
