NOT a Texas father!
He is an ILLEGAL ALIEN from Mali with a final order of removal from a judge, who said he’s homosexual in order to dodge deportation - despite having a wife and two kids at home.
Wonder why @60Minutes didn’t ask him about that.
A Texas father who had lived in the U.S. for 25 years with no criminal record was finishing his night shift as an Uber driver when immigration agents detained him.
Without being able to speak to his lawyer or a judge, he was put on a plane and sent first to Ghana, a country where he had no ties. He was then sent to his home country, despite a determination by a U.S. immigration court judge that he could not be deported there due to likely persecution. cbsn.ws/3Ude66r

HUGE!
In an 11–6 ruling, the Fifth Circuit held that illegal aliens arrested by ICE can be detained WITHOUT BOND throughout their removal proceedings.
ARREST. DETAIN. DEPORT. REPEAT.
BREAKING: The 5th Circuit has ruled that ICE detainees with pending immigration proceedings have no constitutional right to a bond hearing, regardless of the length of their detention.
The en banc ruling appears to be 10-7.

The Mayor of NYC is now openly advising people who are in our country illegally, in a foreign language, on how to best evade American men and women in law enforcement…

You need to understand how Right-wing people under 40 view the Left.
When we think of Leftists, we do not think of Barack Obama or Ezra Klein. Yes, these guys are on the Left, but younger Millennials and Zoomers on the Right do not think of Leftists in their own age bracket as polished technocrats.
These are not the sort of people that make up our Left-wing counterparts that we grew up with, went to school with, or work with.
When we think of Leftists, the first thing that pops into our head are a bunch of disgusting, depraved, spiteful mutants who want to destroy everything around them as payback for the crime of being born.
We think of Discord troons that invaded our hobbies, Reddit mods who are drunk on the most insignificant power imaginable, that one girl from high school or college who became a literal Communist, and that friend or family member who cut off all contact because we refused to treat their mental illness like a status symbol.
We think of people who, if they ever became a majority of the country and actually managed to possess political power, would inevitably kill tens of millions of people out of blind envy and petty cruelty.
Younger people on the Right come across as impatient and anxious in their mindset and mannerisms because they understand what will eventually happen when these people succeed their Gen X and Boomer predecessors in the Democratic Party.
They know what is to come if their own generational cohorts on the Left actually take power, and they feel incredibly exasperated that it seems like none of their parents or grandparents understand just how late the hour truly is.

Immigration policy must be driven by the present, not the past, and business leaders are too terrified of the left AND the right to acknowledge this.
Recent H1B discourse revolves around a longstanding immigration sleight-of-hand. H1B proponents point to exceptional people who came here decades ago as if they represent the current state of the program in the same way that advocates for low-skill/illegal immigration point to very favorable immigrant crime/welfare/education/etc statistics that do, in truth, have them beating native-born Americans on many fronts.
It is all a sham. The world that created those statistics, people, and businesses no longer exists. Brilliant but desperate Vietnamese fathers who fled communism have nothing in common with young men from Honduras, and the crime rates/economic acccomplishments/integration of the former should not be used to justify mass migration of the latter.
Nor should the accomplishments of people who managed to get an H1B visa in the 90s (when the program was capped to just 65,000 visas) be used to justify staffing agencies and tech companies using the program to replace American jobs for less money. The obvious abuse going on is politically suicidal and something that even the most ardent supporters of the visa should want to crack down on, no immigration program can possibly survive the obvious and widely known reality of what is going on. I am a longtime outspoken advocate for stealing the best people from other countries to make our own better, runaway abuse of existing programs robs the government of the worker trust required to do so.
Lots of people in the tech space know this. Even the dumb people are smart enough to see it. Nobody actually believes these are all incredible people with unique talents performing jobs no American can. Everyone knows the guy in Cubicle Bay 7 doing mediocre but functional web design for half the salary of his American peers is no savant and doesn't meet the statutory requirements for his H-1B visa.
Unfortunately, most people with power or profile are terrified that any public statement or acknowledgement will get them attacked by the right (You guys have been screwing over American workers for years with visa abuse, you damn hypocrite!) or the left (You are racist, sexist, misogynist, and sucking up to this fascist administration!). Or, more likely, both. I know too many tech execs in particular who feel trapped, like the only winning move is to stay silent.
JD is blowing the whole thing wide open by putting facts and stats front and center that nobody wants to engage with. Critics will talk about anything and everything else but these damning facts and this obvious truth, that H1B visas serve neither their original purpose, legal purpose, invented purpose, or the American people.
Vice President JD Vance breaks down the data:
"If you are working as an H-1B visa in the United States of America, you’re earning $20,000 less than an American citizen hired in the same position. If you were brought in by one of these foreign outsourcing firms, you’re making $48,000 less than an American citizen in a similar position. So I’m sure that everybody here understands the game that is being played. You bring in indentured servants from outside the country, you lay off American workers and, if you’re a corporation, you make a ton of money by under cutting the wages of American workers, replacing them with people who frankly shouldn’t be in the United States of America to begin with."

I will say what no other politician will say: young men, I will be your champion.
Whether you are a coder, a roughneck, a banker, or a trucker, if you are a young man, I want you to have a fulfilling career that not only provides the necessities, but empowers you to prosper.

I’m finally on vacation after a very long time, and today, while walking around wearing a plain T-shirt with a small Palestinian flag on it, a Jewish woman approached me and told me I should be ashamed because her parents were killed in Auschwitz.
What the actual fuck?
What the fuck does my Palestinian flag have to do with your parents?
And here’s what drives me fucking insane: people are so terrified of being called antisemitic that they won’t even question an argument that makes absolutely no sense.
We’re at a point where someone can bring up Auschwitz in a completely unrelated conversation, and suddenly everyone is expected to shut the fuck up.
Since when does wearing a Palestinian flag mean I owe anyone an explanation about Auschwitz?
I’m genuinely sick of this bullshit.

I just cast my ballot for James Talarico.
As a second-generation Indian American, I am thoroughly disgusted by the xenophobia, racial resentment, and increasingly brazen attacks on my identity. My family has contributed to the American story through hard work, sacrifice, and an unwavering belief in the opportunities this nation promises. I am every bit as American as anyone else, and I will not tolerate being treated as a perpetual foreigner in the country I call home.
I implore every eligible Texan to get out and vote. This election is about the kind of state and country we are prepared to defend—and the principles we refuse to surrender.

FUCK YOU AND HEIL HITLER
I'm deeply horrified by this celebration of Hitler over the weekend. Any celebration of the architect of the Holocaust and the murder of millions of others has no place in Nevada or this country.
Displays of antisemitism like this one incite violence toward Jews and other minorities and are nothing more than an attempt to intimidate and silence the Las Vegas Jewish community.
It won’t work — and I’m going to keep speaking out and standing up for Jewish communities in Nevada and everywhere.

We are living through the death of white-collar work as we know it.
For decades, office jobs were considered the pinnacle of American success.
But HR Karens, excessive bureaucracy, and hiring practices favoring girl bosses and H-1Bs over qualified young men have completely ruined the allure of office work.
Now, the decay has gotten so bad that something as simple as a screening process can’t even be done effectively anymore.
If you don’t match the ideal Hinge profile, HR Susan will swipe left like it’s a dating app. If you want a living wage, they’ll hire an H-1B instead. Now, if your resume has the wrong punctuation, you’re disqualified because of lazy programming.
They continue to say that young men have abandoned the workforce, but really, the workforce is abandoning them.
