A lot of stuff that claims or seems to be about money is actually about something else
The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.
The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets.

And who's coughing up the $200 million to do this?
Q: Do you plan on tearing the Kennedy Center down and how much will all of the renovations cost?
TRUMP: Probably around $200 million. I'm not ripping it down. I'll be using the steel. So we're using the structure. We're using some of the marble.

It seems like they did not find any undocumented immigrants nor any hard working class people in the Epstein Files, just rich and famous people. That’s why they try to burry them deep underneath the rest of the news. The swamp is fuller than ever.

Informer systems are the traditional tool used by repressive regimes for domestic intelligence gathering to penetrate organizations and social circles. I view Palantir as the modern analog because it seeks a technical substitute for the same problem of capturing presence, identity, and association.
DHS literally posted "Want cheaper housing?" with a number to report your neighbors.
We did this in the Trail of Tears. We used weak people's desire for free land to get them turn on the Natives. That was the "Destiny" our nation made manifest.
