Immigrants, the unsung heroes of the US economy?
Don’t get played by the propaganda—know the facts! Immigrants aren’t just a vital part of the U.S. economy—they’re the secret ingredient that keeps it thriving.

Imagine an economy without their contributions—yep, it would be a hot mess. So instead of pointing fingers in the wrong direction, let’s call out the real culprits: corporate greed and a system designed to keep the rich richer. Hit play!
