"In 2022, undocumented workers paid an estimated $96.7 billion in taxes, helping fund services they can’t fully use. Removing a large number of undocumented workers would shrink the country’s G.D.P. by an estimated $4.7 trillion over 10 years, strain local budgets and spike inflation."

Today the great divide is not between left and right. It’s between democracy and oligarchy.
Let me explain.
Let me explain.
The American oligarchy is back, and it’s out of control
It’s the third time in the nation’s history that a small group of hyper-wealthy people have gained political power over the rest of us. Here’s what we must do.
