So you won the House, the Senate, and the Presidency. You stacked the courts, the DOJ, HHS, the FBI, and everything else with loyalists. But you think you should be allowed total control of elections to make sure it's not "rigged".

Watch this space: After Trump & Musk gutted the IRS of employees who process tax returns, provide customer service, & hold corporate fat cats accountable, they're understaffed for tax season.

Cato Study: Immigrants Reduced Deficits by $14.5 Trillion Since 1994
The best way to balance the budget is to reduce spending—particularly on wealthy retirees—but rather than hinder our efforts to control deficits, immigrants are helping.

Immigrants:
📌Pay more in taxes and take fewer benefits
📌Work more, earn more than the average native-born worker
📌Cost less in retirement, they do not drain Social Security for decades
📌Barely touch welfare, there is no free ride
Undocumented immigrants alone saved $1.7 trillion.
