Immigrants are not so bad.
And this is how bad politicians do their business. By bad politicians, I mean those who give tax breaks to rich people, which then tank the economy, so what these bad politicians do then is put all the blame on the immigrants.
From what I understand, the UK had the same politics for decades, where they gave tax breaks to rich people and ended up not having any money to pay doctors or school teachers. So what they did is put the blame on immigrants, that they are making the country poor by stealing jobs, and that's why they pulled that Brexit thing with the promise it would fix things, but it didn't and it made it worse.
And the reason why they always go for the immigrants is because they are the most vulnerable group in any society, considering that they don't have anyone who represents them anywhere in the government, so anyone can just pick on them. Just like people used to pick on Jews or gays because they were feeble groups without any representations.
Quote:Trump's pledge to deport millions of immigrants would devastate Texas economy
Immigrants – authorized and unauthorized, highly educated and low-skilled – are critical to our workforce. In February 2024, the nonprofit Every Texan reported that for every 1,000 workers, Texas immigrants and asylum seekers add $2.6 million to state and local taxes in their first year of eligibility. Once they get work permits, new immigrants in Texas earn an average of $20,000 in their first year, rising to $29,000 by their fifth year.
Undocumented workers also bring a net cost benefit, researcher Jose Ivan Rodriguez-Sanchez found in a 2020 report for the Baker Institute for Public Policy.
These immigrants are deeply enmeshed in Texas culture. Nationally, an estimated 62 percent of unauthorized immigrants have lived in this country for at least 10 years. In 2018, 1.4 million U.S. citizens in Texas were living with at least one relative who was undocumented.
Mass removal of workers would devastate Texas businesses, especially restaurants and building companies.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
