Giving poor people some money makes crime go down better than giving cops more money.  Says science.  We did the science.  We keep doing the science.  Nobody in a suit ever cares tho.

Cato Study: Immigrants Reduced Deficits by $14.5 Trillion Since 1994
The best way to balance the budget is to reduce spending—particularly on wealthy retirees—but rather than hinder our efforts to control deficits, immigrants are helping.

Federal agents cornered Marimar Martinez, shot her several times, boasted about it, arrested her, lied about her to the public and in the police report, and falsely charged her with assaulting them. Now the government wants to keep evidence of their lies secret to protect these agents' "privacy."

/7 Also watch how the Gestapo administration will refuse to even investigate this murder, as they refused to investigate the murder of Renee Good. They define reality: someone we kill inherently deserved to die; us killing someone means killing them was right and fit.

/7 Doing so is not inconceivable because we did it 23 years ago when we perceived the existing entities didn’t work. Being brutal and lawless to Americans is as much of a problem, if not more, than failing to protect Americans. ICE is infested with lawless bigoted anti-Americanism.

Come for the description of Rahmanullah Lakanwa feeling abandoned by the CIA. Stay for the description of the entire group feeling abandoned by John Ratcliffe's attempt to disown the murder. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
His unit mate said Lakanwal sought help in June from a CIA program designed to aid Zero Unit veterans with immigration issues. Rolling Stone reviewed a screenshot of the group chat in June where Zero Unit veterans shared information with a CIA representative about ongoing issues. Lakanwal posted messages asking for help. His last post went unanswered and was deleted by the chat’s administrator.
Rolling Stone called the CIA representative in the text chat, who claimed it was a wrong number. A request for comment from the CIA was not returned.

Lakanwal, according to an Associated Press report and confirmed by his unit mate, would swing from “long, dark stretches of isolation,” sometimes going weeks without speaking even to his family to “manic” episodes, during which he would take off on sudden, weeks-long cross-country drives, traveling to places like Chicago or Arizona.The Afghan Zero Unit community is tight-knit. At one point, during a trip to Texas last year, I watched as a group of veterans took over a shisha restaurant with more than 20 sitting at one table, laughing and smoking. Bonded by combat and the pain of losing their country, they are part of a lost generation of Afghans who believed America’s promise of democracy and sacrificed everything for it. 

But most of all Zero Unit veterans were heartbroken by Ratcliffe’s comments that they should never have been allowed to come to the United States because after fighting shoulder to shoulder with the CIA for almost 20 years, they are the next sacrifice on the altar of expediency. The only certainty in U.S. foreign policy from the last helicopter out of Saigon in 1975 to the Kurds after the Gulf War in 1991 to the 2020 Doha Accords and the Afghan evacuation in 2021, is that American loyalty comes with an expiration date.
