    Remember under chain migration each legal immigrant can bring their entire family.
    So whatever number they claim, it's actually triple.

    Reminder Trump and the GOP want unlimited legal immigrants from India.
    Yes Trump wants to staple green cards to diploma's.


    No white country gets to decide their immigration policy, it's imposed on them. They will all become non white.


    This deporting people to El Salvador will make deportation unpopular.


    Germany's newly elected conservative leader ran on anti immigrant sentiment, after the election he announced the border will stay oipen.

    DOGE is still on the job.



    Chairwoman Greene Leads Letter Urging Appropriations Committee to Codify DOGE Cuts and Slash Wasteful Federal Spending

    June 19, 2025

    WASHINGTON D.C. — Today, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Chairwoman of the Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency (DOGE), led a letter to House Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole urging the committee to formally codify President Trump’s bold cost-cutting reforms into law through the FY26 appropriations process.

    The letter, co-signed by DOGE Committee members Reps. Tim Burchett (R-TN), Eric Burlison (R-MO), Brandon Gill (R-TX), Brian Jack (R-GA), and William Timmons (R-SC) calls on Congress to follow the Trump Administration’s lead in reducing wasteful federal spending and locking in historic savings identified through the work of DOGE & the DOGE Subcommittee.

    “President Trump is leading the greatest government efficiency overhaul in history, and it’s working. The DOGE Subcommittee has exposed massive waste, fraud, and abuse, and now Congress must act. We’re calling on appropriators to defund the left’s propaganda machines, slash aid to our enemies, and make these savings permanent,” said Chairwoman Greene.

    “The American people didn’t vote to fund abortion overseas, woke NGOs, or government-run media. They voted to end the waste and put America First.”

    The letter highlights nearly $9 billion in rescissions already proposed by the Administration and calls for deeper cuts across a range of programs, including foreign aid and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. It also emphasizes the need to reduce bloated federal agency staffing levels, noting the success of the Administration in downsizing the bureaucracy through RIFs, early retirements, and contract terminations.

    The President’s budget would reduce non-defense discretionary spending by 23%, saving over $2 trillion over the next decade.

    “The DOGE Subcommittee has done its part to identify the waste, fraud, and abuse. Now it’s time for the Appropriations Committee to do theirs and write these cuts into law,” Greene added.

    The "early retirement" offer is a fail, because most of the people taking it are ones who were about to retire anyway. So now they get to knock off slightly earlier, and get a bonus for doing so.

    Another problem is that there's a hiring freeze, preventing the hiring of replacements for these people taking the early retirements, so you end up having more work falling on everyone else staying.

    There's a lot of lazy/incompetent people working government jobs, and there needs to be an overhaul in how these positions are evaluated. It also needs to be far easier to fire bad employees.

    You cannot simply downsize government departments willy-nilly, and hope it all works out. This is different than something like Twitter, where it was easy to identify the useless employees/departments, and subsequently shrink the workforce there. Government is huge, and each department needs to be intelligently analyzed before making cuts.

    I can tell you that the major issue with government employees right now is the bizarre fear of firing that the government has.

    The federal government is a gigantic employer which oddly acts like a ma-and-pa shop when it comes to being terrified of wrongful termination suits.

    Shit employees are just shifted around, and are rarely fired. When they do fire people, and they make some kind of totally unfounded wrongful termination or discrimination claim, the government will often panic-settle, regardless of how frivolous or easy to disprove many of these claims are.

    I know some people personally who have shown me what goes on, and I was appalled.

    The government should be the LEAST afraid of lawsuits from disgruntled former employees. Why? It's very simple:

    1) They have the deepest of deep pockets.

    2) They have full time attorneys working for them already.

    3) Almost all of these claims are bullshit, and would lose in court.


    If the government fired the shit employees and defended every attempted lawsuit brought against them, they would not only emerge victorious in most of them, but this would discourage copycats. In addition, once that money train is derailed, employment attorneys working on contingency won't want these cases anymore.

    it should come as little surprise the government routinely settles many non-meritorious claims pre-suit when they should have been litigated.

    Trump figured out that many Republicans get kick backs too... also Trump probably figured out how to get the kickbacks himself too... aka he entered the game....
