Everybody here is an immigrant unless you're a Native American. What these fools don't realize is that Immigrants are actually the real strength of this nation. High five kiddo!

It was never about eggs.

It ain’t just you. Anybody poor, houseless, different, non-conforming, etc. We’re all being blamed.

"The truth is, in Trump’s narrative, all of us with brown skin are less than human. We’re less than dogs.

"For years, billions of dollars have fueled a strategic campaign to create a villain in the imagination of the American working class. Immigrants like me and people in my community are blamed for high grocery prices, stagnant wages, housing shortages and even crime rates."

"This narrative is strategically designed to divide us, keeping the working class at odds with itself while those at the very top — the billionaires sitting by Trump’s side who fund campaigns and benefit from exploiting labor — continue to profit."

"This is not new. History shows us this playbook has been used time and time again: scapegoat a marginalized group, fan the flames of fear and resentment, and distract from the structural injustices that keep ordinary people struggling."
