What happens when the undocumented replace documented workers?

Counting all 10 million.

What happens when the undocumented replace documented workers?

You see wages drop anywhere from 20-40%. Then you see taxes having to be raised because someone making minimum wage doesn’t replace someone making 40% more. Then other costs are there also. like training someone with little to no skills in a job they’re not qualified for.

Finally, what happens when two workers (husband, wife,) move out and replaced by a family of four replace them and only one works? Usually for minimum wage.

You do the math.

No Virginia, Trader Joe’s prices didn’t double.

Believe your eyes, not a leftist lies.

No Virginia, Trader Joe’s prices didn’t double.

Actually, some of their items have gone down. Recently a California loon claimed that it went to Trader Joe’s and their prices have doubled. I thought wow that’s unbelievable. So, I actually reached out to them in the Northern California area. Below is what I found out.

A false claim. Said that was misinformation. A rag claimed their prices doubled but none of the items they listed did actually double. I asked for an up down price list.

Produce
Strawberries (1 lb):
$3.99 → $3.49 (down 50¢)

Organic Strawberries (2 lb):
$8.99 → $7.99 (down $1)

Yellow Peaches:
$6.99 → $3.99 (down $3 — a 43% drop)

🫒 Oils
Imported Olive Oil (Packed in Italy):
$10.99 → $9.99 (down $1)

Extra Virgin Olive Oil (1 liter):
$11.99 → $10.99 (down $1)

🦃 Seasonal / Frozen
Breaded Turkey-less Stuffed Roast:
$14.99 → $8.99 (down $6 — a 40% drop)

🟥 Meanwhile, some items did go up
Also from the same tracker:

Dark Chocolate Sunflower Seed Butter Cups: $1.29 → $1.59

Italian Style Meatballs: $5.49 → $5.99

Coffee varieties: $5.49 → $6.49

Thai Lime & Chili Cashews: $7.99 → $8.49

US Trade Deficit Falls to Lowest Level in 17 Years.

US Trade Deficit Falls to Lowest Level in 17 Years.
If CBS and the rest of the media is correct, The overall trade gap plunged 39% to $29.4 billion in October, as imports fell by 3.2%, Department of Commerce figures show. The deficit was significantly lower than the $58.4 billion median forecast from surveys of economists by Dow Jones Newswires and The Wall Street Journal.

More good news. U.S. exports rose by $7.8 billion in October to $302 billion, imports dropped by $11 billion to $331.4 billion. The U.S. trade deficit in September was $48.1 billion.

“Swings in trade of gold and pharmaceuticals were behind the plunge in the trade deficit to a two-decade low in October, though higher computer imports suggest there are genuine signs of strength elsewhere in the economy amid the AI buildout,” Bradley Saunders, North America economist with Capital Economics, said in a report.

The United States has set a World Record on investments being made into a Country

MIAMI, FLORIDA - MAY 05: A 'Now Hiring' sign posted outside of a restaurant looking to hire workers on May 05, 2025 in Miami, Florida. A report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed the US economy added 253,000 jobs in April. (Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images)

The United States has set a World Record on investments being made into a Country. President Trump was tooting his own whistle and rightfully so. We have this from Reuters.

The U.S. received $132 billion in state‑owned investment in 2025
That is 48% of all sovereign wealth and public pension fund investment worldwide.

✅ This is the largest share ever recorded for any country
Reuters describes it as a “change in paradigm” where the U.S. became the dominant global destination for sovereign investment flows.

✅ Global sovereign assets hit a record $60 trillion
And the U.S. captured the largest portion of that investment surge in history.

Why these matters
No other country has ever attracted this much state‑owned capital in a single year.

The U.S. outperformed all emerging markets combined.

Gulf nations pledged trillions in future U.S. investments (Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, Qatar) — unprecedented in scale.

🏆 So is it a “world record”?
Yes.
Based on the Reuters data, the U.S. received the largest amount of sovereign wealth investment ever recorded for any country in a single year.

This is exactly what Trump referenced when he said the U.S. set a “world record” for investment inflows — and the Reuters numbers back that up.

America's Heartland Commentary Corruption Economy Faked news Just my own thoughts Lies

Fake News. All 1,600 Kentucky workers fired as Ford’s $19.5B EV battery dream collapses.

What the real story is.

Fake News. All 1,600 Kentucky workers fired as Ford’s $19.5B EV battery dream collapses.

Sounds scary for those workers, doesn’t it? The left is having a field day with those headlines. Christmas and what are they going to do? As Paul Harvey would say the rest of the story.

Ford formally dissolved its partnership with South Korean battery manufacturer SK On December 9, 2025. Ford took full control of the Kentucky plants. Yes, those 1,600 jobs are gone. What the article that printed the fake headline left out this. 1,600 jobs gone and when the plant is switched over, they will need 2,100 employees. And the new jobs will pay on average $125,000 yearly.

When 35% Approval is worse than 18%. MSM.

What’s lower than pond scum? Democrats’ approval rating. And at 18% you think panic right? wrong. The media is saying that those 18% Democrats will give the Republicans a beat down. I saw one loon claim a 100-seat majority in the House for the left. Why? Cause the MSM says that with a 35% approval rating the Republicans are done. There you have it. 35% approval is worse than 18%.

Faked out the media. We’re going to war. Winning.

So how could trump trick the MSM into carrying his address to the nation and not leaving early? Well my sources tell me that word was passed on that we were going to war with Venezuela. By doing this, the whole country heard the message about the great economy and how prices were dropping fast.

Nuff said.
