Overheard

@Ir8te33

I'll tell you a little secret. I don't care if there are undocumented immigrants in this country - it's a non-issue. The overwhelming majority of them are normal people trying to make a better life for themselves and their families. And without Social Security Numbers, they're not getting the welfare help people claim they're getting.

This whole Build-A-Wall-And-Deport-The-Illegals bullshit is just the One Percent convincing the working poor to blame a subset of the working poor for the fact that they're all poor (and getting poorer), instead of realizing they're poor due to a vast artificial gulf of Income Inequality, together with Resource Price Inflation and Wage Stagnation, and outright Benefit Theft.

The existence of another poor person is not why you're poor.

You're poor because the people who control everything refuse to treat you better.
