The second says people complain about being broke while owning multiple TVs, a $1,200 smartphone, two cars, and buying Starbucks. The third says people carry $2,000 foldable iPhones, wear $800 shoes, and buy $14 pumpkin spice lattes, then say they won’t vote for Trump because of gas prices.

IMMIGRATION & CITIZENSHIP HARDLINES
BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP CHALLENGE A January 2025 executive order sought to deny citizenship recognition to some U.S.-born children, triggering constitutional challenges under the 14th Amendment.
ICE RAIDS, CAMPS & MASS DETENTION
Expanded raids and detention removed workers from jobs and families, imposing economic costs on households, employers and entire communities.
VISA & TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS
The administration expanded the travel ban and authorized tougher visa denials or revocations aimed at suspected "birth tourism.'
$100,000 H-1B FEE
A September 2025 proclamation imposed the fee on certain new petitions. A federal court struck it down in June 2026; the administration appealed.
