More than half of the foreign-born immigrant population in the United States under President Joe Biden’s administration is unemployed, according to a recent report. The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) released a report on Monday that showed that just 46 percent of migrants who had arrived in the U.S. “in 2022 or later” were employed as of the beginning of 2024. “Immigration clearly adds workers to the country, but it just as clearly adds non-workers who need to be supported by the labor of others,” Steven Camarota and Karen Zeigler, researchers with the CIS, wrote.

This is a long one, but at this point in the destruction of America, this has to be said. The more I see every day that the Biteme gang of thieves is getting everything we American citizens have worked our entire lives for and just giving it to anyone that breaks into our once great country. That needs to come to a screeching halt. I hope and pray that our next President, Donald J. Trump pulls the plug on 100% of the bleeding our treasury dry. These “Alien Invaders” do not deserve our health care, unemployment, SSI, housing, or food. And what, $5,200 per month for invading our once great country? Your worthless SOBs in congress deserve to all be fired. In the process, we, the employers of these thieves in DC, need to pull in the benefits that congress receives for giving away the farm to these foreign invaders who are drawing our critical resources to the point that are heading toward empty. They are criminals, here to break the law, and the DS is encouraging it. I just read that Social Security is running out of money. Well, boys and girls in congress, then turn off the damn faucet of cash and all the rest of the crap we have to earn, but these criminals in DC are just giving them what our homeless and veterans who live in the streets need to survive. I have a suggestion for the Jackass that is the current resident of our White House. if you have the balls, call the president of Mexico and tell him that he has 24 hours to block 100% of all alien invaders passing through his country, or we declare Mexico a Terrorist State. Here are my ideas for fixing this mess. Step 1: We seal the border to all but commercial traffic. No US citizens are allowed to enter or travel to Mexico for any reason, nor can any Mexican citizen be allowed to travel to the US. Any Mexican with a current visa or a residence card dated before 21 JAN 21, may be allowed to stay. Step 2: Expel all Mexican diplomats and their families back to Mexico, plus close the US Consultant and Embassy in Mexico. Step 3: We state to the world that 100% of all the drug clans and gangs in Mexico will be declared an enemy of the state and terrorist organizations and will allow our covert forces the approval, funding, and equipment to take them out, destroy their infrastructure, and arrest or kill all of the leading heads of these organizations. Step: 4 And this one may sting. You are caught smuggling alien invaders into our country, the first sentence (no plea bargaining allowed) is ten years in a maximum-security prison, with no time off for good behavior. Step: 5 If proven in a court of law, that would be a military tribunal, not a dual just us system currently used by the resident and his minions. My suggestion is that a new terrorist prison be built on the abandoned Johnson Island US Military facility in the middle of the Pacific. The water is shark-infested and is an exclusion zone. And, 1,500 miles from the nearest land mass. Step: 6 If the illegal drugs you sold to anyone die as a result, you will be charged with ‘First-degree murder.’ And if found guilty, no plea bargaining is allowed, no good time off for good behavior, and no parole. The penalty is death, period. Step: 7 If you are caught with child trafficking, you will be confined to solitary confinement for the remainder of your natural life. The rest of your life will be void of any human contact. Your home will be an 8x12 foot room, with no window, all of your meals are in your room, and once a week, you will be let out in a walled-off courtyard with a chain-link cover in the opening of the courtyard for 60 minutes. You will speak to no one, except an attorney. When you leave the cell, you will be hooded until you meet your lawyer, but it will be talking through a bulletproof glass wall. As I said, you will be deprived of all direct human contact. You will be allowed one book, of our choosing, once a week. Step: 8 All federal headquarters will no longer be homed in DC. Homeland Security would be located on the border of Mexico in AZ or TX. Department of Agriculture would be relocated near Garden City, KS. One more for good measure, the Department of Energy would be in Odessa, TX. All senior staff are required to live in the area and all family members are encouraged to relocate with employment. There will be no telecommuting by anyone. Step: 9 Affected immediately, all SES and appointed federal government employees are to turn in their resignation on the day of President Donald J. Trump’s swearing-in as our 47th President. To be considered for being rehired, you will need to reapply for your old position, and your tenure in that position will be of no use to you, as it will not be used for consideration. Step: 1/9 Any US-employed public servant, regardless of position, found guilty of any of the numbered provisions listed will lose 100% of all government-supplied funds, and that would include retirement funds, medical insurance, and a total ban on ever holding any public office, loss of security clearances, a ban of ever being employed or a consultant of any company or organization doing business with any federal government organization ever, as a convicted felon, you can never vote again.

I just got my car insurance bill which has gone way, way up. I might get a 1% increase in my salary which won't help much at all, since my utility bills, grocery bills and everything else has gone up. I am getting social security which I have paid into all my life and I am still working. Sometimes people ask why I am still working at my age. It's because everything, absolutely everything has increased in price and is not going to go down. Thank you so much Brandon

No job, everything free, and living the American Dream. No problem if one has no integrity, no scruples, no empathy for those from whom one steals; and criminality is a family tradition. it's a POC thing. And that includes yellow.

Did a simple calculation the other day. If my wife and I had been allowed to keep the contribution to Social Security we made and we had earned as much on it as we have on our 401ks, our monthly earnings would be thrice as much as the SS checks we are getting.- just from the earnings. The principal would remain in our estates. This does not include the employer contribution which could have been reinvested by our employers. I can understand part of our contributions going to less fortunate Americans. But squandering it on the dregs of humanity who are allowed to come here - to commit crimes and vote illegally? This issue alone should be deciding the election.

The quickest and dirtiest way to redistribute wealth away from the Americans who earned it, is by importing impoverished, uneducated "newcomers" with a giant sense of entitlement. A long list of Democrats and their associates support Biden for making that happen. For now, Dems want illegals unemployed because they want to make a meaningful dent in the quality of life for middle America. The more they can take away, the more they can give away. I was once a Democrat, but they are now the party of elites. They're grooming their newcomers without regard for the citizens they swore to serve. There was a time after the 2020 election when millions of Americans had good reason to be skeptical that Biden actually won the election. Today, whether or not we had a duly elected president then, we know for certain that "President" Biden isn't running the country now. His job was to bring in the poverty, crime and disease, along with inflation. He got that scheme over the finish line by betraying our own citizens.

I remember many years ago, reading polls that people who came here from Central or South America would vote 80% Democ'RAT. Foreign-born people -legal and illegal- from who-knows-where are now something on the order of 15% of the US population. THAT is what drives the whole rotten operation. The open borders, The illegal drugs, The human trafficking, The crime cartels The 'RATS are inviting -they have even flown in something like 340,000- illegals, with the aim of swamping the immigration and legal systems, then getting these people driver's licenses, then abusing the motor-voter laws to get them registered to vote. At that point they can tip the scales in their favor in pretty much every election. With that majority in the Congress (and of course the Presidency), they can establish 'Their Democracy', a One Party Totalitarian State, directed not by any elected official, but by the Powers Behind the Green Curtain in the Democ'RAT party. The America that we love, that we grew up with, the once greatest nation in history, will be no more.

Former President Donald Trump said there is “probably a good chance” he will announce his vice presidential pick at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee in July. Generally, presumptive nominees announce their running mate in the weeks or months leading up to the convention. “I don’t say anything is 100%, but you’re getting pretty close,” Trump said when asked by Scripps News political correspondent Charles Benson if he will wait until the high-profile event, which takes place July 15-18. Waiting until the convention to announce a running mate is rare, but it could provide a major splash during what has become a mostly predictable four-day event.
