Pretty wild to make your entire case about how immigrants are lawless freeloaders, but having to go to their workplaces and court hearings to arrest them.

“We’re closing the door on some of the filth read before the Committee over the past two years.” So these people haven’t read any books. He’s not even familiar with Romeo & Juliet, he admits. They’ve passed a whole book banning bill based on excerpts of books they heard in committee hearings.

BREAKING: Texas Republicans just passed a major book banning bill. They say it’s about protecting kids from “filth.” But when I questioned the bill author, he admitted that it could ban classics like Romeo and Juliet, Catcher in the Rye, and Lonesome Dove.

Terms to know: Individualistic vs Collectivistic. Collectivistic countries (think Asia) tend to prioritize the collective good over the individual's wants.

Double-loss. Morality aside, letting them stay means they're buying stuff at stores, eating at restaurants, paying sales tax and generally contributing to the economy. Instead we're losing that revenue AND paying them to do so. I cannot stress enough the right doesn't care about that however.

I feel bad for stores like Target. Things they used to do without incident will now get them boycotted by half the country. Real rock and a hard place.

They'd rather poor people die than the rich pay more taxes. One is clearly the bigger sacrilege to them.

Nature ran a piece finding that 25 million people could die as a result of ending USAID. This puts Trump and Musk in the category of the most brutal leaders of the 20th century in terms of unnecessary lives lost. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

"Never met a poor person that created jobs." Never met a billionaire that needed another tax cut to create jobs either.
