Multiple times this year I’ve had coffee with fellow immigrants who grew up in corrupt third world countries and the shared sentiment has been that Americans don’t understand how bad things are going to get.

BREAKING: We filed a class action lawsuit against ICE for denying people access to lawyers and subjecting them to inhumane conditions at 26 Federal Plaza in New York.

ICE is illegally holding people here for weeks, often without adequate access to medical care, food, or legal counsel.

U.S.-born American citizen under ICE hold in Florida after driving from Georgia Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez is being held even though a county judge found his birth certificate β€œauthentic” and said there wasn’t reason to consider him an β€œillegal alien.”

When people disappear in Florida, it is reasonable to suspect that they have been kidnapped by ICE.

The Real Reason the Economy Might Collapse | Robert Reich
Robert Reich The Real Reason the Economy Might Collapse | Robert Reich

The rich don’t spend the money they have, and the poor don’t have money to spend.

This is a problem when 70% of the economy relies on consumer spending.

Closing our nation's wealth gap isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s essential to save our economy. https://youtu.be/S6dCh48b4oI?feature=shared

What happens if you don’t do background checks or training for thousands of people and you give them all total authority?

ICE has been caught looting and destroying property at Pittsburgh restaurants. They even tried to break into the safes. They loaded food, supplies and equipment into vehicles
