It’s scumbag billionaires that are ruining everything and want fascism, as long as they get to keep the $51 TRILLION they have stolen from the working class since 1980. Why should it matter to them what the price of gas or a loaf of bread should be? They’re so rich off of their ill-gotten gains, they won’t feel it. It was OUR money, OUR futures, and they used the GOP to ROB US BLIND BY MAKING YOU VOTE AGAINST YOUR OWN SELF INTEREST. Healthcare? New house? New car?, free or low cost college education for your kids? YOU DON’T NEED THAT STUFF! You’ve done fine these last 44 years, without all or any of these things, amirite? But I really, really need those record dividends from corporate profits from “Inflation” to buy yet another new Mercedes for my mistress, and that 5th vacation home is really a necessary expense.
I find the republicans “immigrants are eating our cats and dogs” disturbing, mainly because, especially since trump, they have been experts at projection. (ie, “they did it” means “we did it but it’s bad so we’ll say ‘they did it’.”)
Most immigrants are legal (although Traitor Trump’s third wife wasn’t), but the crucial point is: with no “illegal” immigrants at all, there would only be three things more expensive.
Coming here legally and then spending thousands for an immigration lawyer to help process their paperwork, needing to wait years before learning if they can stay, not being able to get a job in their learned profession, going to food banks because they can’t find a living wage job, being accused of B.S. fantasies by so called Christians. Good times good times. FOAD magats.
Instead of making the process easier, the government tries to pass “amnesty”. The immigration process, shouldn’t take more than two months. This proves both parties want cheap labor, and workers with no rights, like workman’s comp, unemployment, and overtime.
I have a daughter in law who’s a Chinese citizen, here with a green card. She has two masters degrees, speaks perfect English, and it took 4 years of paperwork and for me to put up the equivalent of $250,000 to sponsor her to come here legally, despite her being married to my son in China. They had to get married again here. Then it took a year to get the green card. Did she steal a job from a “real American”? Only if one was applying for an accounting job that spoke fluent Mandarin and English, plus knew Chinese and American accounting systems. But none did.
There’s an organization in my city which males low-interest loans to help immigrants pay government fees. It’s the proverbial drop in the bucket, but lifesaving for these it does help.

To the orange blob and co: Your families were immigrants; try asking a true Native American.
