Immigrants have paid more in taxes than they have received in benefits every single year for the past 30 years, according to new analysis from Cato.
Remember this the next time Trump and his racist lackeys call immigrants "freeloaders."

I parked on the street longer than the parking meter’s timeframe and when I came out to my vehicle there was a ticket under my wiper.
A Melania documentary ticket.
These parking violation punishments are brutal nowadays

I wonder how humble Homan looked when he accepted that bag containing $50,000 in cash….FBI punted the investigation and Homan skated….
Tom Homan is at least pretending to look more humble and competent than Greg Bovino, but the federal officers on the ground in Minneapolis are still the largely new, poorly trained, militancy-minded force they were last week.
Defang ICE → Save the Midterms
The fight over ICE isn’t just about civil rights. It’s about free and fair elections, too.

The crowd at the State Capitol extended well beyond what I was able to capture in this photo.
Chanting through compassion & fury, we demanded action from the legislators & marched through the streets.
We stood together with our neighbors and community, with one voice, strong and loud, TOGETHER.
