When the "Poor people in desperate need of Hospitalization" were given a 15 hour flight by an NGO instead of flying 3-4 hours to any number of hospitals in Qatar, UAE, Egypt, Kuwait, etc.

In fact, HEAL - the NGO in charge - is UAE funded. The UAE is a lot closer and has world-class hospitals. Why is a UAE-led organization pushing Arabs to go to the USA for "Treatment" - and of course a long term visa/refugee permit?

Also, even if a child is having a treatment in the USA, the whole family including Grandpa Hassan, Grandma Begum, All 14 cousins and brothers and sisters, Uncle Raheem, Uncle Farfel, and Aunt Noor, don't need to be physically present and certainly not multiyear visas.

U.S. Nonprofit Once Tied to Hamas ... Back in Operation? 🕌🚨

I'm making a separate post to explain why this is so serious:

Today, the arrival of Palestinian refugees in the United States made social media rounds, and it was discovered to be the efforts of an organization called Heal Palestine.

Heal Palestine is led by Steve Sosebee, the same individual who previously partnered with the now-dismantled Holy Land Foundation (HLF), a U.S.-based charity founded by the Muslim Brotherhood shut down after being convicted of funneling millions of dollars to Hamas.

Sosebee was part of HLF’s fundraising operation.

His role: transport injured Palestinian children to the U.S. for care -- explicitly picked to elicit sympathy.

HLF’s role: handle donor outreach, press, and scheduling.

The arrangement: HLF took 60% of the donations; Sosebee took 40%.

This was a coordinated financial pipeline to Hamas, a partnership between a U.S. nonprofit and the Muslim Brotherhood’s American fundraising arm.

That was approximately twenty years ago and Sosebee somehow avoided DoJ scrutiny in the Holy Land Foundation case. And now the optics of these Palestinian refugees arriving in the USA are identical.

So, to whom is that 60% going to this time?

https://x.com/DataRepublican/status/1956576571588026788

Looks like the same CAIR/MB affiliates that were shut down in the 90s and 2000s are coming back as "Palestinian Humanitarian Aid" groups.

Trump Admin brings rapid action in about 24 hours after the first news story.

However, this is as much as an NGO-grift scheme as it is a Hijra plot.

DataRepublican and Loomer were front and center on this. Big Thanks to them!

Never understood this with people recording things. Any content. Record sideways. Always. Vertical is fine in the moment if someone is getting up in your face personally. Always record horizontally when you can though. There's more action side to side than up and down. Obviously TV and computer formats for screen size as well.

Effective immediately we are pausing all issuance of worker visas for commercial truck drivers. The increasing number of foreign drivers operating large tractor-trailer trucks on U.S. roads is endangering American lives and undercutting the livelihoods of American truckers.

They need to revoke the existing worker visas as well.

The government is captured. Posturing and pretending to do things is the norm now. Common sense will never rule again because it goes against what is being built or already baked into the system. The same reason I believe housing will not go down anywhere near where it should historically be.

Are you high most the time? I did video and photography for almost 20 years. Part of the job and not full time, but I can carry my weight. My comment stands and you're just being a troll as usual with no original thoughts. Surprised there wasn't a photo or meme as you cannot think. Kind of surprised me.

They need to seize the assets of employers that hire illegals. They already do this for other illegal activities.

No quarter given.

Things are actually happening now. They pulled the trucking company's license, they're pausing these licenses, and now see the above:

TRUMP ADMIN IS GOING TO REVIEW ALL 55M VISA HOLDERS

@AP
BREAKING: The Trump administration says it's reviewing all 55 million people with U.S. visas for potential deportable violations.

Translation: We are using these viral clusterfucks as cassus belli to shut all kinds of shit down. And even if Dems overturn it in court, it will make them even more unelectable (that means you, Gavin!).

The Trump administration is reviewing all 55 million U.S. visa holders. This is the largest audit of legal immigration in American history. The review covers overstays, criminal records, social media activity, employment and academic fraud, public charge rules, and even new in-person interviews (Associated Press, 2025; The Guardian, 2025).

So what does that mean in real terms?

At the minimum, if they only target clear crimes and terror ties, about 1 to 3 percent could lose their visas. That is roughly 500,000 to 1.5 million people.

On average, with social media checks, fraud investigations, and welfare use factored in, the number could rise to 5 to 10 percent. That equals 2.5 to 5.5 million people (Spectrum Local News, 2025).

At the high end, if every tool is used aggressively, the total could reach 15 to 20 percent. That would mean 8 to 11 million visas revoked.

Each removal represents a job, a college seat, or an opportunity that returns to Americans. For decades, employers and universities have used the visa system to keep wages low and push qualified citizens aside. This review is set to change that.

Make sense as there is an X% of those 55 million in the USA currently that may have overstayed their visa if they do not have any status like a pending green card application or temporary protect status.

Seems like a smart move by the Trump admin besides going to places where undocumented (ie., "off grid") or illegal immigrants may be found like day worker locales of Home Depot entrance, convenience store parking lots, etc.

and 25,243 border encounters by Homeland Security in June 2025 and the lowest monthly in Border Patrol history

whereas Biden had about 11.5 million border encounters and virtually all his "deportations" of roughly 4 million came from border encounters

.

I recently recalled the girls I know who overstayed their tourist visas or student visas (to study English) and then married some sucker to stay in the USA.

I added them up and the majority of them divorced the sucker after they got their green card.

Japanese=4, Peru=3, Colombia=1, Mexico=1. China=1 (She actually went through the proper fiancee visa process before marrying the rich geezer.)

That's just the ones whom I know; imagine how many there are running around the USA today?

One point that doesn’t really get discussed in relation to “high skilled immigrant success stories” in America is that nearly every middle+ class immigrant family in the last 60 years committed fraud to game the higher ed financial aid system, while nearly every middle class American family dutifully reported their assets and dutifully got r*ped either by the tuition itself or by the debt their children took on.

This is basically an orphan issue because the left thinks all immigrants are angels and the right thinks no one should have to pay outrageous uni tuitions, but the upshot is that for 60 years immigrants have been coached by their friends to keep much of their net worth as practical in cash (like literally, stuffed in deposit boxes) or overseas assets so that they can qualify for $20k-$40k financial aid per year of undergrad and then, in many cases, professional school. Meanwhile if your family has been here 200 or 300 years, even colleges with good financial aid expect you to pay at least 1/4 of your net worth per year. The net result is that decades years later the wealth immigrants saved by coolly defrauding universities has compounded to $500k-$1m per kid, and those kids are lecturing the white Americans who actually paid for the educations of both families about hard work, saving, and building for the future.

Yes, much of the world has zero shame about committing fraud. Fraud is just normal to them.

The abnormal and really valuable situation is the high-trust society that we used to have.

High trust societies are extremely vulnerable to corruption, first by nepotism and later by outright fraud.

A true mark of a high trust society is the degree to which nepotism is minimized. Nepotism is the slippery slope as far as meritocracy is concerned. Once nepotism is considered profitable, it's a long slide down into mediocrity and poverty. Don't believe me? Look at Africa, Asia, and Middle- and South America.

One reason that Rome rose to power was the dedication of its citizens to Rome, even to the degree that they had a famous story about a Roman general who had his son executed for disobeying military orders:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titus_Manlius_Imperiosus_Torquatus

The early Romans were famous for their impartial justice. This is why many countries willingly submitted to Roman rule. They knew the Romans would be fair.

Now we can't even get the flagrant long-term Epstein pedo ring prosecuted. Trump hides the video evidence to protect them.

That's why objective tests are the cornerstone of Merit.

Attacking the (old) SAT, ACT, IQ Tests, General Aptitude Tests, etc. are the "end of the beginning' of the process.

GPAs can be inflated, well rounded background can be padded or ticket-punched, "Whole Person" evaluators can be bribed or biased, but tests graded by computer or blindly according to an answer key generally cannot. That's why the left hates them.

Quick thread on "white flight" in the Bronx. In 1950, the Bronx was over 90% white. Between 1970 and 1980, the absolute number of whites dropped by half, partially replaced not by blacks but by new immigrant minorities (Puerto Ricans, Hondurans, Vietnamese, etc).

From the 1930s to the 1960s, the Bronx was known for its tranquility, with children playing outside unaccompanied, bikes and scooters left unattended, and doors left ajar for fresh air (!).

This changed in the 60s/70s, when black and Hispanic residents entered the Bronx en masse, attracted by public housing and rent-controlled apartments. For some reason, crime and drug use exploded around the same time. Knives, mugging, shootings, drugs, gang warfare.

Some statistics. From 1960 to 1969, reported assaults increased more than four-fold, reported burglaries in South Bronx more than 16 times. Capped off by the physical destruction of the Bronx by arsonists paid by landlords as part of an insurance fraud conspiracy.

No-go zones. Bronx residents created mental maps of which neighborhoods could be travelled through.

One resident who worked in healthcare remembered how she couldn't provide physical therapy for teenage gang members injured in shootouts because they would attack each other in wheelchairs.

Huge and largely unrecorded rise in petty crime (muggings, theft of bikes, scooters, and doors (?)).

The South Bronx neighborhoods blacks and Hispanics had moved into since WWII became physically dilapidated (for some reason), prompting them to migrate northwards to the remaining white areas. ...

1960-2000, the white population of the Bronx dropped more than 80% in absolute terms.

how much does rich economies like Japan and Israel rely on immigrant labor ?

when does the Chicoms reach a point that the same ones who make this proclamation demand the same of China ?

Those bankers are dimwits.

Lack of labor is irrelevant to productivity.

If those bankers were right, then people would have a better living standard in Bangladesh with a giant labor supply than in Switzerland.

Of course, the opposite is the case.

Remittances to Mexico hit decade low.
https://www.zerohedge.com/personal-finance/money-wired-mexico-hits-decade-low-us-immigration-policies-take-hold

- Money transfers from the US to Mexico have reached a decade low, with a 16.2% decrease in June 2025 compared to June 2024, totaling $5.2 billion, according to Bank of Mexico (Banxico) data reported by BBVA Research.
- The decline is attributed to the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration, including deportation policies, which has led to a significant drop in remittances, the largest in 13 years.

The fools think we are saving money because corporate farms hire illegals and "pass on the savings to us." Bullshit.

Who competes with Foxy and Dole for lettuce production? Who competes with Driscoll for berries?

These and other farms all keep their fantastic profits; strawberries made recently $18,000 per acre, it's likely much higher today.

And don't forget the entire cost of the "cheap labor"; you pay taxes to keep their children fed and schooled, in addition to hospital treatments and sometimes police work leading to prison. All of those cost you in taxes. That $1 lettuce actually costs you probably $5.

And if labor is short, producers will do what they have always done, change production and invent and adapt technology to lower labor inputs.

Which will create middle class, value added jobs that pay taxes, instead of shitty guest worker jobs where the costs are externalized as @clambo described above.

If strawberries start getting picked by machinery, the jobs storing, renting, deploying, maintaining the machinery will create decent paying jobs.

Israel often uses cheap Palestinian labor.
