This is terrifying ... but precisely the kind of thing that's happening out of the spotlight ...
... while the world is in thrall to the magical rise and fall of the stock markets, the threat of ludicrous tariffs and whatever banal nonsense Trump says next.
Ruth, I’ve read your books and articles. I’m not someone who fears easily but I’m afraid. I vote. I’m a poll worker. I participate in protests. I send letters and call my elected officials to no avail. I attend town halls. I don’t know what else to do. 1938 Germany is here in the US.
Hitler had them self deport, which many who could and wanted to did, but then he invaded the countries—like Poland—and imprisoned those same Jews into death camps. I have no doubt that given the chance, Trump would do the same thing with immigrants.
This will not allow them to pay SS tax.
They are ineligible to withdraw from the fund.
Trumplicans don't care about revenue.
They are trying to break the system from top to bottom.
Bosses orders.
They care about revenue. It’s just few of them understand it within our government. And most refuse to learn. And all believe whatever their news tells them. Fox, epoch times, Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, etc.
If a migrant pays into SS but can't receive any benefits, that's revenue.
Without a SS number, they have to be paid under the table.
Backwards. Cheating us all.
They care about their own revenue streams.
They have TIN numbers, so they can and do pay federal income tax. I don’t know if the employer can pay patrol taxes with only a TIN. I think not. But in order to adjust status to lawful permanent resident, they have to show that they have paid all back taxes—it’s the good moral character test.
I am aware. By being “tough” on immigrants that appeals to the base of the maga party. And that party does not understand how the system works. Plus if immigrants are blamed than the actual criminals get away.
People are not rallying for immigrants and many/most are in favor of this purge. But if there is a bright line between “mere” authoritarian and overtly fascist, I think disappearing, detaining, & mass incarceration of documented and undocumented immigrants is a flashing red light.
Attention Walmart shoppers....if there are any remaining in the store...
This will be devastating to lots of businesses (including retailers, service/hospitality/home healthcare/construction/maintenance industries, food processing, agriculture...etc).
This will have very predictable bad effects on the labor market for immigrants.
If you can at the whim of fascist "suspicion" be un-SSNed, (the LPR populations is ~13.5M), then the following questions immediately have to be answered:
Yes. No one is safe. I am Hispanic, citizen, father fought in WWIi I had my SS# since I was 15. still the turd, could target me, by my Hispanic last name I am the wrong ethnicity for turd
This is just stupid. In canceling migrant's SS#s, how are they supposed to pay taxes? Or is it hire them for dirt cheap and don't report them working for you? Think Nanny taxes. The rich get richer.
Who on earth thinks of all these evil things to do to other humans? More from Project2025?
The Biden years look better every day compared to what we have to digest every single day with 47. I didn't wake up and worry for a couple of hours at night.
So no social security tax money from them. Maybe trump will tarrif them to make up for it. It's like opening a toolbox and only seeing a hammer and still going to a job
History provides disturbing templates first economic strangulation, then forced migration. Cutting access to financial systems and identification creates a shadow population unable to function in modern society. Trump replicates tactics from darker chapters of history while claiming innovation.
Every day I say "this is not our country", and every day it gets worse. What makes me more worried is there are millions of people who don't know, aren't aware, don't care. I am afraid that the people who do care will not be enough. My heart is sick.
In Nazi Germany, law by decree, aka executive orders, along with many other ad hoc laws that bit by bit marginalize, criminalize, and remove the rights of the out groups.
Sounds familiar.
The creation of a hostile environment to encourage the targeted population to self-deport was very much policy of the UK government in 2012, of which the Windrush scandal became the most egregious example.
The n*zis also charged these people a "flight tax" (reichsfluchtsteuer). They were told to leave, but all their money & assets were seized as they left the country.
Chump is too fucking stupid to be doing all of the things that are being attributed to him. Who is behind him? Who is pulling his strings? Who are his puppeteers? They need to be exposed and humiliated. That includes the Supreme Court.
...A handful of Republican legislators in both the U.S. House & Senate who know better, but refuse to honor their Oaths of Office or to speak because of fear. Some are veterans, ALSO dishonoring their military oaths. ALL are abdicating their responsibilities & should be recalled. CALL THEM DAILY!
When is the evil enough? When do so called Christian values kick in? I am honest to god sick and tired of the pure evil and hatred being unleashed on the world by the republicans. They are anti-American.
There are, maybe, a handful of Christians in the US. None of whom are Republican or maganuts. This behavior is supported fully by at least 1/3 of "Americans." The only reason people are protesting is that they didn't expect this shit to affect them. If they got their jobs back, no more protests.
For the love of god they don’t have social security numbers. They have ITINs. People here on visas or with permanent residency receive socials, but undocumented individuals don’t

Note the part where they say they were born in Newton, Mass, that makes them a citizen, right?
It's forbidden

One day it may be too late!
This is also pure racism they think it will only affect Mexicans not, say, Irish people who came here 30 yrs ago

If you can at the whim of fascist "suspicion" be un-SSNed, (the LPR populations is ~13.5M), then the following questions immediately have to be answered:
2. How will you be hired if an employer knows this is a risk for social media posting aka free speech?
3. Is the employer in legal breach of they keep you on?

Miller. Musk is a close 4th to Felon 47.

I'm selling my house in the u.s. and leaving the country because of everything happening here.
Nothing.
