Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

Yep. There's cynical asymmetry here.
Assuming the billionaire top 0.01% are driving MAGA policy, they benefit the most from it, while the masses suffer. And like a cherry on top of a turd, they dump the cost on those very oppressed masses.
That's how evil they are but also how dumb people must be (kept) in order to accept this kind of stuff.
Well that's been the "best" trick of neoconservatism for a while now: to portray itself as being pro working class.
They also made a deal with Palau, for $7.5 million, to deport 75 people. Not 750, not 7500, not 75k. Just 75 people.
It's kinda funny because it's the sort of thing dumb conservative voters like to clamor about. Usually. But they're in the thrall now.
So the federal government is taking hardworking and taxpaying people citizen and noncitizen alike out of the US economy because some committed the misdemeanor of being undocumented, and the government is spending tens of billions of dollars to accomplish it.
Government inefficiency, on a criminal level I'd say.
It's not about being undocumented. The USA is run by white supremacists who believe a "white genocide" is underway and they must reduce the numbers of non-whites so the white race can survive and rule. And evidently they also want to reduce the numbers of white people who can see this for the utter xenophobic nonsense it is.
