Even the documented workers are not showing up.
And guess what? Youβll still want your strawberries then youβll pay more for imported ones.
This isnβt border security.
Itβs cruel economic sabotage, dressed up as patriotism.
How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million.
How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65
Note: In 2024 alone, Muskβs enterprises were awarded approximately $3 billion across nearly 100 federal contracts, averaging about $8 million per day.

"I must confess, my friends, the road ahead will not always be smooth. There will be still rocky places of frustration and meandering points of bewilderment. There will be inevitable setbacks here and there. There will be those moments when the buoyancy of hope will be transformed into the fatigue of despair. Our dreams will sometimes be shattered and our ethereal hopes blasted. We may again with tear-drenched eyes have to stand before the bier of some courageous civil rights worker whose life will be snuffed out by the dastardly acts of bloodthirsty mobs. Difficult and painful as it is, we must walk on in the days ahead with an audacious faith in the future." β Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, Speech at the Southern Christian Leadership Conference on Aug. 16, 1967, in Atlanta, Ga.

Remember two months ago when stern fact checks were being issued to Kamala from the media for linking Donold to Project 2025? God remembers.

So much so that Iowa Republicans literally tried to redefine the word equal to not mean "same" or "identical."
