Immigrants are critical to our society. They’re also critical to the American economy, paying billions in taxes and boosting economic growth.

The demagogues who say otherwise are just trying to divide us against each other to consolidate their own power.

Don't fall for it.

"Isn't it funny how the rich can convince workers
that the reason they are paid so little
& treated so badly
is... somehow? ...the fault of people
who are paid even less
and/or treated even worse?

...

It's easier to punch down than up.
And rich corporate owners
want to keep workers' anger aimed down
rather than up."

Meme with a photo of Elon Musk looking shifty on the left and the following text on the right: Isn't it funny how the rich can convince workers that the reason they are paid so little & treated so badly is... somehow? ...the fault of people who are paid even less and/or treated even worse? Corporate propagandists know it's much easier for us to blame people we've been taught to hate than to more accurately aim the blame at the rich & powerful we've been taught to admire. It's easier to punch down than up. And rich corporate owners want to keep workers' anger aimed down rather than up.
