This administration and the GOP are basically a one trick pony. They just roll out the same old tired messages no matter the subject.

People falling for tech billionaires and politicians telling them all their problems are from migrants and poor people are some kind of stupid.

Especially since undocumented workers dramatically lower our costs!!!

Same thing but with “republicans are corrupt and incapable of governing”.

They think we are stupid. And racist.

Pretty sure there banks aren't giving undocumented immigrants mortgages to purchase houses, so they aren't the problem in the housing market. Most of them rent.
-
It was once enough for these people to insist on using "illegals" instead of "undocumented." Now they have to append "criminal." The obvious redundancy is just them grinding their teeth in anger.

why do they keep repeating that irrelevant statement after each quoted bit lmao

Bessent Blames High Beef Prices on Migrants
New York Times: “Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent tried to explain high beef prices over the weekend by blaming undocumented immigrants, saying they were bringing sick cows into the United States. Mr....

So they're not eating cats and dogs anymore, they're eating all the beef? And houses, apparently?
-
tell me you’re a hammer surrounded by problems without saying so challenge accepted
-
The minimum number of "criminal illegal immigrants" for there to be "tens" of them would be 20. 20million people is about 6% of the population. So more than one out of every 20 people on the street are "criminal illegal immigrants." In what world does that seem plausible?
-
This list is the reductio ad absurdum of scapegoating immigrants and blaming them for problems obviously & unequivocably not of their making. As I read the list quickly, I actually read "car" as "cat" and honestly it would make just as much sense to blame immigrants for why "I can't afford a cat."

Hey google, give me an example of a red herring

Ah...at some point, someone is going to have a problem when the numbers don't add up.

Somebody actually wrote this thinking it wasn't incredibly stupid.

When your answer to each of society’s problems is the same, you’re not thinking deeply at all about society’s problems.

Argentinian cows have set up their own travel routes to the USA. That's what is killing beef prices. 😆 Myself, I doubt US ranchers are buying this and that Argentinian beef producers - industrial fashion - aren't missing cows.
-
If there's one thing I know about American agriculture its that undocumented people are super unrepresented in fields, meat packing facilities, etc

Yep. He said “illegals” cross the border with sick cows.

Social media has thus far been a mistake, overall.

“Kansas City Chiefs 5-5 start” There are tens of millions of criminal illegals in our country

“Tens of millions”?? Another complete exaggeration. Page out of Trump’s book.

"I slipped and fell down"
There are tens of millions....

For every difficult problem there is a solution that is simple, tidy, and wrong. In this case, it’s fraudulent.

Um, that's not an answer, that's just blaming immigrants.

The overwhelming majority of immigrants they're disappearing HAVE COMMITTED NO CRIMES.

30 years ago, every problem was caused by high taxes on the rich. Today, every problem was caused by "the illegals." Republicans never change.
-
It's like bragging about, due to your only tool, how every problem looks like a nail.
-
Yeah, if you’re a dummy, you would believe that only one group of people is to blame for EVERYTHING. If you have a brain, you will understand that the people blaming others are exactly the ones who are working against Americans and GRIFTING from the very people they profess to represent.
-
Sad to see—but not unexpected—the MAGAts have taken over govt publications. And they are using them to make such moronic statements. Is their opinion of adult comprehension and ignorance such that they believe people will buy this bullshit? And these people are part of the 1% and hold high office.

Then I realized it wasn’t satire.

That's a long list just to say: And your government is not committed to actually solving any of those problems.

In the 2015 satire "The Big Short" on the 2008 housing meltdown, a character laments "they're just going to blame this on poor people and immigrants". SHOCK CUT to montage of bankers getting arrested to Neil Young's "Rockin in the Free World" as the narrator belts out "NOT THIS TIME!" (cont'd)..

So they want us to believe that people picking produce, who can't afford the houses whose yards they landscape, and NOT the billionaires hoarding all the money, are to blame for everyone's problems?

Another take on immigration and inflation:

Insane. And his refrain is totally false to boot. 10-20M illegals maybe but only a small % are “criminals”. And no being here illegally is not a crime, it’s a civil offense. He wants to conflate the two or to just lie that they’re all actually criminals.

You know what keeps prices down? Immigrants working for substandard wages in substandard working conditions. Picking produce, in slaughterhouses packing meat, in barns milking cows, as landscapers, roofers, cleaners, carers. Our “immigrant problem“ - they are exploited, then blamed for all our ills.

“My wife left me.” There are so many immigrants..
100% how the cults mind has been relentlessly conditioned to believe all their own problems are the fault of minorities.

Pretty sure "Many problems, simple answer" is how Germany succumbed to madness.

NONE of these things has any correlations to immigrants being in the country. Literally NONE of them.
This is propaganda.

I logged in to Twitter just to check. This is an actual post from the US government. And that is fucking insane. We have a full on fascist regime running and ruining the country. Destroying things, murdering on the high seas, stealing from the treasury, AND violating the rights of all inhabitants.

Neat, a 19 year old neo-nazi's shitpost posing as their wishful thinking version of the government.
Whoops, it is the US government. lol

You know who is likely actually responsible? Elon Musk, DOGE, and any moron in the Trump administration who let them arbitrarily cut USAID funding... which included the screwworm firewall program that had successfully kept this parasite out of America for decades.

Literally every problem here is caused by rich people.

I want to know the identity of the ghoul(s) handling that account.
They deserve to be known by the whole country, and shamed for the rest of their miserable, grotesque existence.

This is Orwell's Two Minutes Hate dressed up as economic policy

Huh, they cracked down on immigration till people are living in fear including citizens and yet all of these problems have gotten worse... it's almost as if immigrants have nothing to do with any of this
-
There are no words for this much hate.
-
A) I have decided "because of all the criminal illegals" is going to be my go-to answer for everything. Why didn't I take the trash out? Why did I forget the anniversary? Because of the CRIMINAL ILLEGALS. B) Isn't, um, "criminal illegal" a redundancy?

The whole concept that population growth is bad for the economy is completely bonkers.

So the government is saying that everything is too expensive and there are no jobs. Sounds like Trump’s America is a total shithole.

They're eating all the cows.

If tens of millions of undocumented immigrants are taking all the jobs, then why don’t we see DHS arresting the millions of employers who are illegally employing them?
-
It really reminds me of a point I’ve seen @chrislhayes.bsky.social make: super hardcore anti-immigration people are monomaniacal about it. They literally believe every issue/problem can be traced back to immigration.
-
Republicans are so racist they do not even look at immigrants as human beings. They are fine even locking up children due to their hatred.
-
Sadly this is what the MAGAts believe - it’s hateful
-
To be clear "a simple answer" is the same as a "final solution".
They did away with subtly months ago.

Can we please start charging and sending political appointees to prison?? The worst part of the government is that BOTH PARTIES allow their donors to obfuscate the law in their agencies and beyond. This includes their rejection to participate in the EEOC process.
-
They are going to do lasting harm to the anti-immigration side’s argument. They are kidnapping people while actively worsening material conditions for people. Most “normal” voters want results - more money in the wallet, more food, etc. Instead, all they got is videos of cruel kidnapping.

You would not think twice if someone swapped out the words illegal immigrants for Jews and I told you it was written by Hitler in 1939

Racist lies issued by the U.S. Government to stir up racist hatred to help justify racist policies.

Kind of a self-own, they're admitting prices are too high under their administration after almost a year. Can't blame Biden anymore, gotta blame something.
-
When this is over, we’re putting the DHS social-media manager on trial
-
Here’s a problem as I see it: very few Americans even have a feel for what Nazism means, so invoking that term as a pejorative might not be that effective. We are history-challenged and are influenced by the 10 minute news cycle. So, just call what MAGA does by tangible current evocative names.
-
Housing, please someone explain to me an undocumented person qualifies for a mortgage without citizenship information? How does an undocumented person making shit wages as most do, afford a mortgage?
-
And that's why prices are WAY DOWN after a year of terrorizing and mass deporting latinos! Wait, stop, why are you all laughing
-
Everyone—but ESPECIALLY the press—should assume everything that comes from DHS is a lie. Whether a perverse & moronic attempt to blame affordability problems on immigrants, a description of Border Patrol shooting someone five times, if DHS says it then it’s a lie
-
Deporting most of the agricultural workforce will definitely make food prices go down.
-
Fucking Nazis
-
"the president had sex with children"
Might as well add that to the list

If beef prices are high it’s likely due to ICE raids on processing plants

The problem is that even if a minority, literally millions of Americans fully believe this.

Somehow, illegal immigrants are taking all the jobs, buying all the houses, and they need welfare? Spare me.

After a year of you mfers being in charge and rounding people up the fucking shit is not about the illegals, just like all the other bullshit is not about Biden.

The right answer is unfettered capitalism. Billionaires shouldn’t exist.

It also sounds like straight up Nazi propaganda

The vast majority of the country believes none of this shit anymore. Guys like Bessent are just too out of touch to figure it out.
-
They sound so stupid. tEnS oF miLLiOnS oF cRiMiNaL iLLeGaLs. "Illegal" is an adjective, so it would be "illegal criminals," which sounds equally stupid and is also a fascist lie

Trumpism distilled down to it's fascist/populist/zero sum essence: blame every problem on immigrants. Kind of refreshing - in a disturbing way - to see them just lean into it with everything now.

Republican answer to everything used to be tax cuts (mostly for the wealthy), as in start a war: tax cuts! Now, the answer to any and every problem is, too many immigrants. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️

somebody gets paid to do that.

“Criminal illegal” because “illegal” doesn’t sound sinister or dehumanizing enough anymore.

Scapegoating minorities for nearly every problem imaginable is an essential part of fascism. They seek to unite their base to rally to support Autocratic rule, and they need their followers to blame all their problems on the vilified minority group, so they don’t blame the government

Undocumented immigrants (tens of millions guilty of this misdemeanor crime) are a net positive to the American economy. It’s what the data tells us - irrefutable fact. The Trump/Vance/Republican agenda is a constant mix of idiocy & evil.
