Danny X Spence11 Jim Pfaff Ed Krassenstein You do realize this “inflation” you’re babbling about is mostly made up of profit taking. How has the market done the past year? Look at Kroger’s last 3 QTRS. How about oil companies? Insurance. This isn’t too much money, supply or demand. It’s corporate profit taking. Period!

Danny X Jim Pfaff Ed Krassenstein What are you talking about?

Highest domestic oil production ever.

Wages are outpacing inflation and growing.

GDP is better than under Trump.

Record stock market.

Lowered inflation faster than all other developed countries.

Passed infrastructure and chips act.

Insurrection Barbie Are you trying to regurgitate that bullshit story about queries against the Social Security database to confirm if someone is a citizen or not?

Isn’t that what you maniacs have been bitching about?

Now you are complaining because they are verifying voters are citizens?

2WarAbnVet 🌻Justice⚖Now 🌟🇺🇸 Marjorie Taylor Greene 🇺🇸 Was the border secure
A Republican meme about Biden was proven wrong lmao
Nd your own Republican member said the 45 control the house and senate nd nothing was done for border security
Look it up what Chip Roy said

17/ So this thread is ultimately a gut check for those who *say* they want the border crisis resolved.

Do you really?

Because the reason we didn’t get a bipartisan border bill is because of two rich white race hustlers who *benefit* in every way from vile immigration hypocrisy.

16/ But that’s what Musk and Trump *want*. They want disparate treatment for rich whites like them associated with illegal immigration and poor nonwhites who aren’t—like Musk and Trump—mere greedy bastards but fleeing violence because it makes the border issue a permanent crisis.

15/ By turning the immigration debate into a proxy race war, race hustlers like Trump and Musk—who, again, not only don’t care about immigration reform but *are associated with illegal immigration themselves*—ensure Democrats are less likely to negotiate over immigration policy.

14/

iv) If we understand that both Trump and Musk are men with a genuine longstanding animus toward nonwhites, we begin to see that the most important thing for *anyone* who wants immigration reform is to take race *out* of the equation: as it’s *exactly* what’s blocking reform.

13/

iii) Those who actually care about immigration reform and want something done about the southern border therefore have a right to know that their ostensible leaders on the issue don’t care about it, are lying about it, and are associated with illegal immigration themselves.

12/ None of this makes illegal immigration OK. It does have several instant effects:

i) Musk and Trump must be ignored on immigration matters.
ii) If they’re ignored—for being devious, deceitful immigration demagogues only looking out for themselves—immigration reform will pass.

11/ As substantiated at the link atop this thread, Elon Musk has *also* been accused of using foreign labor in a way that makes his laborers illegal immigrants, and doing so at great profit to himself. And he did it as someone who was a longtime crypto-illegal immigrant himself.

10/ This is a trend we’ll return to in this thread. Republicans who don’t actually care about immigration policy demagogue it to appeal to low-information voters while violating immigration laws themselves—then on the back end *benefit* from the illegalities they say they oppose.

9/ But it’s actually a bit worse than this, because of course Donald Trump not only lied (as did his wife) about her immigration conduct, and not only failed to hold her to the standard he holds non-family nonwhites to, he’s also *hired illegal immigrants* so he can exploit them.

8/ The theme is this: rich whites can do whatever they like to get ahead, and them doing so is a sign of ingenuity and industry. This includes committing tax crimes and fraud (D. Trump) or working in America illegally (M. Trump).

If poor nonwhites do the same, they’re criminals.

7/ Melania Trump has said repeatedly that entering the United States and conducting oneself properly while here—which she *didn’t do*—is a matter of character. These comments brought her into the political debate on immigration in the United States and became part of a GOP theme.

6/ Despite hard evidence that Melania was in the U.S. working illegally in the 1990s, she—as a rich white woman trying to get richer via modeling—has *repeatedly* and *defiantly* distinguished herself from the poor nonwhites who come here fleeing violence in their home countries.

5/ So, for instance, Trump’s wife Melania appears to have been an illegal immigrant for a period of time in the 1990s. Her lawyer says her first entry into America was in 1996 and she didn’t begin working here until 1997; but there are photos of her working as a model in 1995.

4/ And the answer is this: because neither Musk nor Trump give a sh*t about stemming the tide of illegal immigration—it’s simply not a subject that actually moves them in any way. And we can see this in their histories. But these two historically venal men have their own motives.
