Are jobs exploding or is the economy in free-fall? Because of radical policies forced on the Census department by the real unelected Kings of America, judges, the bureaucrats in Washington don't know. If we knew how many illegal aliens there were, we could estimate the effect of giving hundreds of billions of dollars of aid. We could tell pro-illegal states to pay for their own voluntarily assumed costs. We could even ask the courts to reassign congressional representation from illegal aliens to U.S. citizens. So the Kings simply demanded ignorance by preventing us from knowing how many illegal aliens there were, but now we’re seeing that because of that decision, we don’t know if unemployment is a crisis or quite rare.
The problem is that the annual population estimate of the United States grew by over five million people last year, while employment barely moved. Part of that jump is a correction from the Biden administration’s deliberate ignorance of the illegal-alien crisis: as soon as he was unelected, the Census Department admitted three million more people in the U.S. Three million more non-citizens, right? Well, suddenly the next month, the number of non-citizens participating in Census Department monthly surveys collapsed. Trying to account for the sudden surge in population, this meant that the number of citizens exploded.
Of course that doesn’t make sense, and last fall, the federal reserve complained about that absurdity. So what’s the real population of citizens? Well, the Federal Reserve looked at monthly data from employers and their unverified demographic claims and concluded that there wasn’t any sudden decline in the population of non-citizens because unlike the decennial Census and its annual adjustments, this data is allowed to indicate citizenship status. This would be terrible news for Trump: Employment growth is still reported to be very meager, there is no sharp decline in illegal immigration, and jobs aren’t moving from illegal job-holders to legal ones. And very recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) seems to suggest the government is now incorporating the Federal Reserve’s presumptions.
Except the problem is that all of this presumes that employers are being honest. If you had employed 50,000 immigrants “under the table,” and now you have to hire 50,000 new legal workers, would you tell the government that you now employ 50,000 new people despite reporting no new revenue and no new costs? If you had hired 50,000 immigrants “above the table” and they all took off when the government started cracking down on illegal aliens, would you admit to the government, “know all of those immigrants I reported hiring so I’d look real good on my diversity goals? Turns out they were all illegal.”
If employers had replaced illegal aliens with legal workers, we might never know. It’d be surprisingly easy: when illegal aliens submit stolen identification for I-9 forms, they don’t usually claim to be legal but non-naturalized immigrants since that requires providing still more documentation: You can’t ask Bjorn Uhlfstaddottir why a 65-year-old Swede looks like a 35-year-old Mexican whose friends call him Pedro, but you can ask a 35-year old Mexican named Pedro whether he has a valid green card.
The most likely scenario as far as I can tell is that the employment situation in America turned far bleaker than reported in 2024 as 3 million illegal aliens took jobs away from working Americans without showing up at all on BLS data, but that Trump policies have resulted in those jobs going back to U.S. workers. But the voters don’t know this. The Federal Reserve doesn’t know this. The Supreme Court doesn’t know this as it considers whether the tariffs were a response to a real crisis, and whether invalidating those tariffs would cause a worse crisis. And truthfully, I don’t know this. Not only do we not have the information needed to reappropriate Congressional districts, we don’t have the economic data we need to decide whether tariffs have been successful, whether we have achieved a soft landing or stagflation, or whether we will need hundreds of billions of dollars to cover the social security deficits. We don’t know any of this because unelected kings decided to withhold this information for fear it would hurt their ability to help Democrats steal elections.

Yup.
We don’t know any of this because unelected kings decided to withhold this information for fear it would hurt their ability to help Democrats the Uniparty and our corporate overlords steal elections.
FIFY
These overreaching, unrepresentative, law-ignoring, activist judges need an “intervention” badly. They are undermining Citizen trust in the Judicial.
WE need to have a “Squad” of investigators to root out corruption in the Judiciary, along the lines of the “Untouchables”. It should be directed by an “Honest” Constitutional Judge, if there are any left. They have operated without control and with impunity for too long.
The Congress shall have power...To make rules for the government...

Judge Aggressive shall no longer handle cases wherein a domestic government or governmental person is a party.
Opinions, rulings and orders issued by Judge Aggressive after 9/11/2025 shall be ignored by all governmental persons and entities, except as follows:

Such restrictions can be inserted in a PPACA subsidy bailout bill, which is a must pass.
Pam Bondi & Trump can make a list of who is naughty for Congress.
**** Federal Courthouse (and Homeless Shelter)
Where can we put the beds of those that don’t like to bathe, your honor?
There’s also the Buford Pusser-style office.
Where can we place the white thrones and urinals, your honor?
What you don’t know is that rather than a mere squad, there is a whole company of investigators busily at work in secret developing massive conspiracy charges that will encompass both judges and legislators
The indictments will occur in a timely manner before the 2028 elections
There are I-9s, W-4s, and 1099s.
I hope that is correct. But who is watching the investigators?
Because corrupt democrat judges shielded illegal aliens...........
Full story completed
President Trump et al
^^^THIS^^^
The worthlessness and corruption of the GOPe/Uniparty since we've been alive is the ultimate problem. The stampede of 35,000,000 illegals from the Eisenhower days to the current national debt of $40,000,000,000,000 and some $9,000,000,000 added each and every day permanently by Congress. Of course by extension it is the voters ultimately causing The Great Collapse.
A total disintegration is inevitable, glad I'll be dead.
“The problem is that the annual population estimate of the United States grew by over five million people last year, while employment barely moved.”
You only have to visit a store or have looked at a restaurant menu to understand why.
I don’t worry about President Trump. I do worry about the “et al”..
Every word you’ve written is true. The deck has been stacked against, ‘We The People’ for so long, does it really matter anymore? Plan accordingly for you and yours! Mother Government is NOT your friend.
Here is the Consumer Price Index for WISCONSIN. I use that data because it’s what effects individuals the most as they slog through life. EVERY STATE has improved VASTLY since ‘Brandon’s Reign of Error’ and the ‘CovidBS-19 World-Wide Shutdown Tour.’ So, on the Bright Side we’re no longer looking at 10% Inflation across the board!
Food
Food prices rose 0.3 percent for the month of January. Prices for food at home (grocery store purchases) advanced 0.3 percent, and prices for food away from home (restaurant, cafeteria, and vending purchases) increased 0.2 percent for the same period. Within the food at home category, prices for dairy and related products (+2.7 percent) and other food at home (+0.6 percent) led increases. The index for fruits and vegetables led declines, falling 1.6 percent over the month.
The index for food advanced 2.1 percent over the year. The index for food away from home increased 3.8 percent, and the food at home index rose 1.0 percent, with higher prices in 5 of the 6 major grocery store food groups. Prices for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs led the rise, advancing 3.8 percent over the year.
Energy
The energy index declined 0.4 percent over the month, largely due to lower prices for gasoline (-2.6 percent). The indexes for natural gas service and electricity increased 1.9 percent and 1.3 percent, respectively, partially offsetting the decline.
From January 2025 to January 2026, energy prices fell 0.3 percent, due a decline in gasoline prices (-11.2 percent). Prices for electricity advanced 8.1 percent, and prices for natural gas service rose 13.5 percent over the same period.
All items less food and energy
The index for all items less food and energy increased 0.5 percent in January. Among the index’s components, prices were higher for owners’ equivalent rent of residences (+0.4 percent), public transportation, apparel (+2.7 percent), and education and communication (+0.9 percent). In contrast, prices were lower for used cars and trucks (-2.9 percent).
The index for all items less food and energy increased 2.7 percent over the year. Components contributing to the increase included owners’ equivalent rent of residences (+4.1 percent), medical care services (+3.5 percent), and recreation (+4.2 percent). In contrast, prices were lower for used cars and trucks (-1.9 percent).

In so doing, you do not accept the actions of President Trump.
Yes, I know your point was illegal immigration versus the Economy, but the two are tied together these days.
I think we’ll see employment improve even more as we head toward the Mid-terms. Of course, the feckless, anti-Trump Quisling republicans will still screw things up for themselves - and us!
Not sure why you’re stating that, but I-9s establish your legal identity to work, W-4s determine your tax withholding, and 1099s report income besides what’s reported on W2s. I very plainly meant the docs for establishing identity for work.
Yep, life goes on until death, the world keeps turning, sun
keeps rising, so live your allotted time as best you can.
