If we were to increase the number of undocumented workers in the US construction industry by 100,000 people, the labor supply of fast construction workers would go *up*, and the cost to construct a home would go *down*.
Everyone knows this.
But racist people pretend not to know it.
It's silly

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

A few weeks ago I zoomed with a group of high school students and their adult mentor to discuss taking social action. I am thrilled to report that this group of 10 students raised $10,000 in two weeks to support their local food pantry. They sent me a photo and it has them all jumping and I tear up.
