I fixed it for you: “Rent is too high!” Corporate landlords bought entire neighborhoods and jacked prices so high you need a co-signer just to breathe. “Groceries cost too much!” Billion-dollar food conglomerates are price-gouging you while bragging about record profits. “There aren’t enough jobs!” CEOs laid off Americans to pump stock prices and walked away with bonuses the size of small countries’ budgets. “Women don’t feel safe walking down the street!” Statistically the danger is coming from Americans they already know, not the imaginary immigrant you turned into a movie villain. “Traffic is terrible!” That is what happens when everyone drives a giant truck to buy a single iced coffee. Consumerism is wonderful, isn’t it? “Healthcare is too expensive!” A private insurance cartel did that. Your elected officials built that system brick by brick. “Welfare spending is through the roof!” Undocumented immigrants cannot collect welfare. If you believe they can, you should go pick up an Economics for Dummies book and read about it. “I can’t afford a car!” Automakers slapped luxury prices on basic models because they know you will blame anything except the corporations squeezing you. “I can’t afford a house!” Hedge funds bought entire zip codes with cash offers. Not one undocumented worker is outbidding families at those auctions. Many problems. A simple reality: Immigrants are not wrecking your life. Your government let billionaires strip this country for parts and then told you to blame the people with the least power. They know who’s actually bleeding you dry, but calling out corporate greed would upset their donors… so they hand you immigrants as the scapegoat and hope you’re too stupid to notice. Punch up, not sideways.
