Migration makes for political deflection and migrants an easy scapegoat, but most "concerns" around immigration are flat out false and driven by hostile rhetoric.
Reality is, on a day to day basis, people are more worried about how they'll get through to the next payday.

Apparently he descended into a shouting match with Zelensky trying to get him to accept Putin’s terms.
He told Fox News “Putin is “going to take something, he’s won certain property”
Putin’s WON nothing. He’s stolen land by war crimes

Just one example of how breaking the government can be the opposite of efficiency: Trump’s push to layoff half of the IRS workforce would cost the govt $350B over 10 years, as the revenue lost from unpaid taxes is about 9x the amount saved from layoffs.

Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up.
