Furthermore, basic laws of supply and demand dictate that the cost of the labor would simply rise to meet what Americans are willing to work for.
If the middle class experiences real wage growth (which the labor supply of illegal immigrants suppresses), the cost of individual goods may go up, but is irrelevant so long as cost inflation is proportional to middle class wage growth.
@TPUSA@thewillwitt@tpusastudents Low-wage, low-skill illegal immigrants have their lifestyle subsidized by government housing, healthcare, and SNAP benefits. We don't reduce their cost to the middle class, it's just transferred from the cost of goods to the taxpayer in the form of government spending.
Democratic election policies consistently seek to change the rules - ending the electoral college, allowing ballots after election day, enabling ballot harvesting, providing illegal immigrants the right to vote.
The party's policies have become predicated on stealing elections and using "judicial processes" and bureaucracies in state governments to stymie investigations into legitimate cases of fraud.
@PpollingNumbers "Generic Ballot" polls seem to skew consistently in favor of Democrats because of their idealist approach to entitlement programs and governance.
Individual Dem politicians (like Newsom) tend to fall short in delivering on key blue voter issues and their polling reflects that.
For every “legal immigrant” with a job, a family, and a house, there’s an American who won’t have it.
“Ellis Island” worked when the U.S. was not in a globalized economy and there was an expectation of integration. Legal immigration loopholes have destroyed the American middle class.
@SenWarren You can have a welfare state or you can have mass immigration from the third world. The America Elizabeth Warren grew up in is virtually unrecognizable from today.
If you wanted heritage America back, you’d push for both affordability and mass deportations.
@elonmusk The strategic limitation then becomes how much of that energy can be reliably harnessed, transferred along transmission lines, and stored. But since Tesla is working on batteries, I’d imagine you probably have a plan for that too.
Candace Owens criticized Matt Walsh for not "catering to his audience" - her sole incentive is to deliver her audience the content they want to hear, not to make a prudent assessment of the facts.
The "Egyptian jets" conspiracy was wrong. The claim about the bullet's ballistics was wrong. The idea Robinson wasn't on the campus that day is wrong.
You have to believe hundreds of people are all 'in on it' to preserve the conspiracy - including the defense attorney - to not believe your lying eyes at this point.
One area that I'd be curious to get your thoughts on is the correlation between sexual activity among young adults and the distribution of their economic activity/productivity.
Many young people self-report both low desire and intentionality towards both sex and procreation at least partially as a result of economic circumstances.
This cluster is often predisposed to being disinterested in sex or procreation to begin with - irrespective of economic circumstances - but did longer trends regarding the Pill and economic activity create those predispositions?
The average American contributes $750k across their lifetime in taxes, meaning that this person stole ~4x Americans' contributions.
The average home cost in Minnesota is $300k, so instead of helping 13 young couples get their lives started, we let a foreigner get rich defrauding the government.

@mtaibbi The entire phenomenon of “cancel culture” started because of this philosophy. The basic idea lying or misleading people is morally righteous because the permission structure of free speech enables it is a prototypical non-sequiter.
The major outrage fuel is that this has happened repeatedly over the past several years—hundreds of thousands of people have been laid off while employment opportunities and pipelines for foreigners expand.
It’s not just H1B visas—L-1 visas enable employees in India to “internally transfer” to employment in the United States, providing a direct employment pipeline (which ultimately leads to green cards) for foreigners to dominate the labor market undercutting American job opportunities.
@GuntherEagleman The major victory here is repairing structural issues. Protecting election integrity is the first step in stopping deep state corruption, and the communist takeover.
Right wingers: “There are migrants in Western Europe pillaging the social safety net and committing crimes”
>Left wingers: “That’s a racist conspiracy theory, you have no evidence”
Right wingers: “Here are videos and statistical evidence”
>Left wingers: “You’re cherry picking evidence to justify your xenophobia”
Right wingers: “Okay, here’s a comprehensive government investigative report compiling millions of datapoints on rape gangs, published by Parliament, supplemented by reliable data on birth rates and welfare usage"
>Left wingers: “But now there’s tons of them here and it would be inhumane and racist to deport them, so it doesn’t even matter anymore”
The left doesn't care about how true it is. They just need to hold out until it's too late to tick back time.
You as an American can't afford to have kids or buy a house, but the government will sponsor somebody else to come over and do it. The problem extends well beyond H1B visas; firstly, L-1 visas enable uncapped immigration (70k+ last year) to 'internally transfer' from companies in India to campuses or departments in the United States.
Secondly, these so-called 'work visas' are basically a pipeline to permanent residency in the United States, which sets up a completely different incentive structure than a competitive 'talent program' would.
Visaholders bring over their spouse and kids; thanks to birthright citizenship, any children born while they're on a work visa are then American citizens. Then the parents become anchored into the United States (sound familiar?)
It's a massive scam on the American workforce - on young adults entering into the labor market, on experienced professionals being displaced with cheap, inexperienced labor, and on the taxpayers whose government goes further into debt while corporations cut Americans out of jobs.

Texas produces ~45% of the oil in the United States, and about 7% of the entire world's oil, with a production output of 5.8 million barrels of oil per day. In 2025 alone, Texas produced over 2 billion barrels.
The industry employs 1.5 million people with an average salary of $128,000 per year. About as American as it gets.
