45. Well the Hispanic immigrants pay into Social Security and Medicare

Tue Jan 21, 2025, 02:11 PM

.... but as non citizens are not allowed to draw a check for services. They pay in to keep Social Security afloat,... but never receive a pay out.

American workers if sent to slave camps and then forced to work for USA industries but paid little to none - dirt wages is a very good deal. They still pay taxes. Then locked into involuntary servitude were their meager wages pay for a bed, three meals, toilet facilities, showers, and exercise yard. Clothes, shoes, toiletries, and other odds and ends can be purchased at the re-education training camp's company store.

Industry is happy because they have ultra cheap labor. Labor/prisoners are happy because their basic needs are being met. 11 million illegal immigrants have been deported,... so the Fascists and White supremacist are giddy and happy.
