For decades, nativists have sold America this narrative that immigrant welfare is behind our deficits and debt. This figure shows how absurd that is. This is all government expenditures, federal, state, and local, for the last 3 decades. Immigrants are not to blame:

One thing I have had in the back of my mind, for those who are doing research on the Epstein files, is context is important. With all these diplomats/politicians having in-person meets or convos with Epstein, I think it is important to know why they're talking w/ him.
It's a 2-part story.

CSR funding was ELIMINATED by the TRUMP Admin in 2017 when HIS Justice Dept. chose NOT to appeal a court decision IN REPUBLICANS FAVOR.
Furthermore, *reinstating* CSR funding would RAISE net premiums on millions of ACA enrollees while only reducing them for a few hundred thousand.
