There is a huge disparity between illegal workers being caught and prosecuted/deported and the people who hire them. Looked it up and the average was about 11 cases per year. They need to start chasing after the people who hire illegals otherwise the problem will never end because as long as someone gives them work, they will come for the work.
It's hard to prove intent when the illegals have forged documents and stolen social security numbers.

The people hiring day workers or household help are paying them under the table anyway, So those people aren't being investigated unless someone reports them.  it's the businesses hiring many workers who get charged.

The employer is a harder case to prove but it will make a bigger difference. Going after the workers is going after the low hanging fruit and will only ensure you never run out of small cases.

It has to start from somewhere and the individual is the obvious starting point.  I hope they investigate how they got documents and so on.

The individual may be the starting point but the problem is it is almost always the end point. People aren't working up the food chain, get the easy stat rather than making the case that matters.

America will see its largest
mass resignation in history
as 100,000 federal workers
are set to quit their jobs today


This was published on Sept 30, the end of the fiscal year.

Quote
While many U.S. workers cling to their paychecks as the job market
is rocked by AI-related headcount cuts and dwindling opportunities,
federal employees in the thousands are willfully walking out the door.

Today, America will experience its largest mass resignation in history,
as 100,000 federal workers are set to formally quit their jobs. It’s a
result of the Trump administration’s “fork in the road” Deferred Resignation
Program (DRP) that staffers have taken up over previous months,
who were allowed to transfer their workload and go on administrative
leave until the official end date of federal service on Sept. 30, 2025.

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) tells Fortune that about
154,000 federal workers in total took the deal, with the majority leaving
today and others exiting by the end of the year.
https://fortune.com/2025/09/30/us-largest-mass-resignation-in-history-federal-workers-careers-donald-trump-administration-doge-job-hugging/

These were the redundant and under-utilized workers DOGE uncovered in their interviews. 
Quote
DRP --
This Trump administration program allowed
federal employees to transfer their workload,
leave their job and go on administrative leave
through a certain end date before resignation.
For many employees who elected to take the
DRP, their last day of federal service will be
Sept. 30, 2025.

Federal employees who meet certain eligibility
criteria have also opted into the Voluntary Early
Retirement Authority (VERA) or accepted a
lump sum via the Voluntary Separation
Incentive Payment Program (VSIP). Many of
these employees have already left federal
service or will be doing so soon.

President Trump once again demonstrates how 4D Chess works while Democrats accuse Republicans of refusing to negotiate.

Democrats forced a government shutdown over healthcare for illegal aliens.  I guess you can also view it from the other perspective.  Republicans forced a government shutdown over healthcare for illegal aliens.  It's like when you are negotiating a car deal, and the salesman says, "Are you seriously going to pass on this car over a measly $250 documentation fee?"  Your reply is, "Are you?"  One option involves spending more, while the other does not.

Trump says if the Democrats refuse to remove healthcare for illegal aliens from the spending bill, he will start mass layoffs of federal employees.  He says his focus on which agencies to shutdown are Democrat organizations such as the Freedom Caucus.  That takes the issue out of the "to spend or not to spend" category and places it firmly into the realm of "FA&FO."

This shutdown gives the President more discretion in where to spend available funding.  You can't fund everything during a shutdown.

The irony in Dems accusing the GOP of not negotiating is how often they play that card.  When they are in power, they push through whatever they want while they have the numbers.  When roles reverse, suddenly it's expected of the majority to negotiate.  If the GOP capitulates in oder to reopen the government, the Dems will predictably call them out for having the majority and getting nothing accomplished. As Obama famously said, "We don't mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back."

What's the use in gaining a majority in the House & Senate, a President, and a Supreme Court that is more fair than Liberally biaed just to squander that away on the other side's criticisms?  They are going to accuse you of not doing something right no matter which way you go, so don't be so afraid of their BS.

The left also controls the media, which means they control the narrative of "GOP bad, DNC good" and "the GOP is taking away healthcare", but leave out "for illegals".

That control is no longer as relevant or as strong as it used to be.

The corporate main stream media giants have competition now like never before.

Many news agencies have started coming around and reporting the truth, or at least not publishing lies as if they are true (only that so-and-so said it), because it's become too easy for the individual to find the actual truth.

Rather than listen to someone tell you their conclusions based on some video, you can find that video, watch it, and make your own conclusions.  AI is getting in the way of that, so more vetting processes and tools will have to follow.

i like Tim Pool's videos because he shows you where he got his information.  He's a lot like Rush Limbaugh was in that he reads the news to you, adds from sources the news didn't included, tells you where to find it, and then tells you to make up your own mind.  Nobody can tell you every day, several times a day, and from hundreds of sources what's true.  Reporters make mistakes, lie and sometimes just piggyback on other stories without anything original to add.  Asking you to agree with their conclusions would be to give an appearance of accuracy above what is actually present.

The people who exist in ideological bubbles and cults will never believe opposing narratives, and arguing with them wastes everyone's time and energy.  Half the county didn't believe Biden was mentally incompetent and voted for him even after the other half was telling them over and over and producing real evidence.  After the election, suddenly the media and politicians with a modicum of humility admitted they didn't want to believe the truth, and now they realize it was their mistake to follow what they were being told to think.


No matter what, it's always easier to
get someone to believe a lie
than it is to convince them
that they were lied to. 

Nobody wants to admit to being fooled.

All hostages have been released by Hamas.  Ceasefire in effect and more to come.  It didn't happen as quick as Trump stated it would, but he's been more vocal about doing more than Brandon did.  Even if Brandon was doing things behind the scenes during his presidency, it had no results.

This is good news and how happy and ecstatic their family and friends must be.  Personally I'm not too optimistic about how long this "peace" will last however I am pleased with the job that Trump is doing in trying to establish peace in the region.

Hamas is showing signs that they do not want to go away.  Not sure how solid this phase 2 plan is with all concerned but I've always subscribed to the notion that you do not negotiate with terrorists.

A strange event happening right now is that one of the conditions be that Hamas lay down all their arms.  If they don't Trump is said that he will give Israel the green light to go back in to finish the job.  Yet the refugees were allowed to start going back to Gaza before this condition is being met.  Talk about giving them leverage again.

A disaster waiting to happen.  WTF???!!!

Israel has wanted peace a few times for the past decades and it was never maintained.  IMO, Israel needs to destroy Hamas as they've shown that they cannot be bargained with if Israel does want lasting peace  in the region. 

As Charlie Kirk stated, between the 2, Israel is the more moral.

Saying "Destroy Hamas" is like saying "Destroy the US Democrats".  They are the ruling faction in Gaza as a result of their 2006 legislative elections just as the Democrats here are firmly embedded as one of the only 2 viable political parties supported by about half the voters and whose elected and appointed members enjoy a great deal of power in government.

Hamas has governed the Israeli-occupied Gaza Strip since 2007.  If we were to try to destroy them, it would require a political coup.

The people who elected them would not stand for it, assuming they actually support Hamas and didn't vote for them out of fear.

Before Hamas can be destroyed, the support of the people must be diverted elsewhere.  Liberating people who do not want to be liberated will fail every time.
Quote
Hamas was discreetly supported by Israel, as a counter-balance to the
secular Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO) to prevent the creation
of an independent Palestinian state.

In the 2006 Palestinian legislative election, Hamas secured a majority in
the Palestinian Legislative Council by campaigning on promises of a
corruption-free government and advocating for resistance as a means to
liberate Palestine from Israeli occupation.

In the 2007 Battle of Gaza, Hamas seized control of the Gaza Strip from
rival Palestinian faction Fatah, and has since governed the territory separately
from the Palestinian National Authority. After Hamas's takeover, Israel
significantly intensified existing movement restrictions and imposed a complete
blockade of the Gaza Strip. Egypt also began its blockade of Gaza at this time.
This was followed by multiple wars with Israel, including those in 2008–09, 2012,
2014, 2021, and an ongoing one since 2023, which began with the October 7
attacks.

I didn't know that they had an "election" allowing Hamas to be in control. Thanks for the info.

I guess all Israel could do is harden their border.  I mean how Masaad had no idea 10/6 was going to happen is another rabbit hole to go down.

Palestinians love Hamas.  Hamas takes foreign aid money and runs all the services and aid in Gaza as if it was their own money.  Hamas is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood that narrowly won Egypt's election before they were kicked out by the military.  That's why Egypt doesn't want to take in Hamas refugees cause they'll take over the government again.

West Bank PA doesn't hold elections cause Hamas would win and takeover there.
