Fascism is when the KKK mass murders at least 5000 Black people & terrorizes millions more, but are still allowed to exist & hold public marches due to "free speech," but Black & brown people are disappeared, deported, & tortured on the mere accusation that they said things the Govt doesn't like.😐

Even if you (wrongly) believe that some immigrants lack due process rights, what’s to stop the government from claiming that *you* are an undocumented immigrant; removing you to El Salvador; citing an “administrative error”; and refusing to do anything to bring you back?
The answer is due process.
The answer is due process.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.
That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.
So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?
