She had her whole life ahead of her. | |
| The man who killed her was in the country illegally. | ||
| Our immigration system is broken, and if there was ever a case that reflected that, it's this one. | ||
| Suddenly a shot rang out. | ||
| Kate fell and looked at me and said, help me, Dad. | ||

| The End | ||
| In the year 1950, the average family income in America was $3,300. | ||
| The average cost of a house was $7,300, just over twice as much as the average income. | ||
| The average cost of food per month for a family was between $30 and $50 per month. | ||
| The average cost of a gallon of gas was 27 cents. | ||
| The inflation rate was just 1.9%. | ||
| The homelessness rate wasn't even tracked, as it was too low to calculate. | ||
| In 2023, the median personal income was $42,000, and the average sales price of a home was $495,000, over 10 times as much as an average American income. | ||
| The average monthly cost of food ranged from $1,000 to $1,500 and the average cost of a gallon of gas grew to $3.49. | ||
| The inflation rate was 4.1% and the homeless population skyrocketed to 653,000 people. | ||
| Americans today, especially the younger generations, know nothing of the economic prosperity that once defined the American dream. | ||
| Being able to build a family, buy a house while you're young, and put your kids through college all on one income is completely beyond the grasp of the average American today. | ||
| In 2023, 66% of families were dual income households, and by the early 2010s, about half of U.S. college students were burdened with an average of $25,000 in loan debt. | ||
| Since 1950, not only has personal debt, homelessness, general disparity, and the cost of a home increased dramatically, but surprisingly, the productivity of the American worker has increased by 254%. | ||
| Americans are working harder and getting less. | ||
| If Americans are producing more value than in previous decades, why is it harder than ever to live a comfortable life? | ||
| In 2023, about one in every six jobs was occupied by an immigrant or a visa holder. | ||
| In any labor market, as the supply of available labor increases, wages decrease. | ||
| However, the income of newly arrived immigrants is estimated to be 17% lower than the income of native foreign Americans. | ||
| These immigrants are willing to work for less, which drives wages down even further. | ||
| Also, when an employer hires an illegal alien, they must be hired off the books, which provides employers several incentives for hiring illegal immigrants. | ||
| Employers do not have to pay illegal aliens a minimum wage. | ||
| They don't have to provide them benefits like health care and retirement. | ||
| They don't have to give them vacation or workers' comp. | ||

If you ran a business, why wouldn't you hire illegals? | |
| The typical American loses 27-30% of their paycheck to taxes. | ||
| If you go to any city in America, everything is dirty. | ||
| The parks are overrun with homeless people, police aren't doing their job, and people are being murdered on public transportation. | ||
| It's a nightmare. | ||
| Where is all of our tax money going? | ||

Governor Gavin Newsom Tuesday signing a measure to provide health care to low-income undocumented immigrants. | |
| President Trump opposes those subsidies and says U.S. citizens come first. | ||
| There's no evidence that bringing people into this country makes the rest of us richer. | ||

How can we afford to give billions of dollars to illegal immigrants in this country, but we've got to go back to the well to provide for our own citizens? | |
| That's a disgrace. | ||
| Tolerance for illegal immigration is not compassionate. | ||
| It is actually very cruel. | ||
| In 2023, $3.8 trillion, or 60% of the federal budget, was spent on entitlement programs. | ||
| $1.1 trillion was spent on welfare programs alone. | ||
| A 2018 study by the Center for Immigration Studies found that 63% of non-citizen households are the beneficiary of at least one welfare program. | ||
| For comparison, only 35% of Native-born American households are on welfare. | ||

I approached yesterday by a non-speaking, a non-English-speaking member of the community now, one of our new residents, that apparently purchased my home. | |
| I was not aware. | ||
| I'm getting pushed out of my home. | ||
| By someone that can't speak my language and doesn't know the law and doesn't know the rules. | ||
| But I want to know where the resources are for us. | ||
| I had to take a pay cut of a fourth of what I made. | ||
| And now on top of that, I'm being asked to leave my home by someone that can't communicate this to me. | ||
| We're getting pushed out of this community. | ||
| While almost twice as many non-citizen U.S. residents per capita are on welfare, U.S. citizens are responsible for around 85% of the tax burden. | ||
| In 2021, an estimated 300,000 illegal aliens who arrived in the country were minors. | ||
| Nationally, the average cost of education per student in public school is around $13,100. | ||
| This means that Americans spend around $4 billion per year on educating illegal alien children. | ||
| This doesn't even take into account the extra spending that goes towards language support, counseling, parental education, and gang prevention programs. | ||
| Immigrants also put an oversized burden on the public transportation system. | ||
| Only 9% of native-born U.S. citizens use public transportation on a regular basis. | ||
| However, 25% of the immigrant population regularly uses public transportation. | ||
| In 2022, 15% of workers in the retail industry were immigrants. | ||
| It is estimated that out of the 152,396 convenience stores in the United States, over 60% of them are owned by people of Indian descent. | ||
| Over 20% of workers in the agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting industries are foreign-born residents. | ||
| In the crop production industry, a staggering 57% of workers are immigrants. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Of those workers, 54% or 31% of all crop production workers are illegal aliens. | |
| Just in California alone, about 570,000 immigrants hold jobs in food production and distribution. | ||
| Almost 30% of all construction workers are immigrants. | ||
| In California, Texas, and Washington, D.C., over 40% of all construction workers were born outside of the United States. | ||
| The share of immigrant workers is higher in certain sectors of the industry. | ||
| Of all roofers, carpet, floor installers, painters, and paper hangers, and drywall and ceiling, towel installers, 45 to 49% of these workers are immigrants. | ||
| Immigrants are not just taking over the blue-collar industries. | ||
| Over 21% of all professional and business service workers are immigrants. | ||
| These are not just legal immigrants either. | ||
| Since 2007, the share of illegal workers in the professional industries grew by over 13%. | ||
| According to a 2015 Pew Research Center study, immigrants are 1.7 times more likely to be employed in the administrative services industry than native-born citizens. | ||
| Jobs in this industry include office management, human resources, and even reception. | ||
| At least 28% of all law firm associates come from a diverse racial and ethnic background. | ||
| 38% of all accountants come from a diverse racial and ethnic background. | ||
| And over 44% of all active physicians come from a diverse racial and ethnic background. | ||
| A staggering 70% of all tech workers in Silicon Valley are immigrants, and based on industry reports, it is estimated that 21 to 28% of those workers are H-1B visa holders. | ||
| These are all jobs that Americans once held, jobs which allowed them to raise a family off of a single income. | ||
| These are jobs that made it possible for a family to buy a home, put their children through college, and take an annual vacation all on a single income. | ||
| Today, with mounting debt, rising costs of living, and a lack of high paying job opportunities, Americans are often opting out of parenthood altogether. | ||
| The American Dream was once a simple opportunity. | ||
| It was the financial stability that built the middle class. | ||
| It is what allowed couples to marry young and grow old, with four, five, or even six children. | ||
| It was the white picket fences and the growing suburbs. | ||
| It was knowing your neighbors and telling your children to be home before dark and trusting that they would be okay. | ||
| It was all of these things that defined our lives not all that long ago. | ||
| That American dream, which we all grew up believing in, was sold off to the third world, and at our expense, given to whoever could do your job for less. | ||
| Look around you. |
