@icecube@HarrietEve9 Without doing any research, people see something on the Internet, and turn their phones on to speak about it.
It’s like what Denzel Washington said,
@OccupyDemocrats I hope, when we take this country back, that we seize all their assets to offset the cost of the plethora of civil damages we will have to pay
BREAKING: HOLY SMOKES! Bombshell report accuses Trump and Rubio of "the largest fraud in the history of the U.S. immigration system" amounting to over $1.3 billion stolen from migrants.
And the details will absolutely enrage you...
According to the Cato Institute, a right-wing think tank, Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and outgoing DHS Secretary Kristi Noem extracted at least $1.3 billion from migrants in fees for visa processing and other immigration services that they never intended to provide. They took the money, then took no steps to hold up their end of the agreement.
The administration is taking money from immigrant hopefuls from over 90 countries despite the fact that Trump's own xenophobic travel bans have made it so that those same people are "banned from receiving immigrant visas and immigrating permanently to the United States." Trump is having it both ways: taking the money he would get for allowing immigration while simultaneously blocking that immigration.
"During testimony before the US Senate, I called it the largest fraud in the history of the US immigration system. In fact, it is likely the first $1 billion fraud—a theft of processing fees for services never rendered," wrote David J. Bier for Cato.
But the corruption goes so much deeper...
Rubio's State Department has issued internal rules that prohibit his staff from informing the migrants in question that they have no chance of success and their money is essentially being stolen. It's a systemic graft operation.
“Cubans represent the largest group of affected applicants with nearly a million affected applications at a combined cost of $543 million. The second most common was Venezuelans, with 239,000 applications at a cost of $138 million,” Cato reports.
Cato estimates that over 2 million immigrant applicants were affected by the travel bans and had their money taken when there no intention on the part of the administration of rendering the services in question.
"The fees came primarily from applications for work permits and filings to adjust status to permanent residence or immigrant visas—the two ways in which people receive green cards to stay permanently in the United States," writes Bier.
Congress must immediately investigate this blatant, rampant fraud and begin the long, difficult process of ensuring that every single victim is paid back with interest. These people came looking for a better life in the United States and were instead fleeced for what little money they had. This is a kind of cruelty and greed that could only exist with Donald Trump as president.

i highly recommend you find yourself a clingy(healthy) lovey dovey partner who's super excited about you. life is too short to spend it with someone who act like showing love is a chore.
Hey Chicago! If you live in or around Hyde Park area, don’t go to the new Barnes & Noble. Call & Response Books is AROUND THE BLOCK, Black owned by a husband and wife couple, and their selections are amazing. They host community events all the time and have a zine! Support them!
i am so protective over this current version of me. it took a lot of mental, emotional, and spiritual work for me to get to this stage. so if i come off as if i'm too good for certain people, situations, events, conversations, whatever…it's because at this point in my life i am.
@BraddrofliT That shouldn’t even be a debate. Anyone connected to Epstein should be investigated whether left or right. I don’t care if the Easter Bunny is in the files. Investigate him also. No one is above the law.
