Incomplete list of immigrant operations affecting the United States taxpayers, January 2019.
More proof it’s about making money: $11 toothpaste: Immigrants pay big for basics at private run ICE lock-ups
And more proof it’s about saving money: “… a group of protesters who were denouncing President Trump’s immigration policies. They were waving Mexican flags and shouting, ‘¡Si, se puede!’ (‘Yes, we can!’)

History Lesson: The ancient Roman army and navy was initially staffed by native born citizens, which helped turn the Republic into a global empire. But later as the empire crumbled, one of the signs the empire was a failed state was the reliance on immigrants, especially from areas of the world that were considered enemies. Even in the Roman military immigrants became commanding officers, and it was one of those officers that led the destruction of three Roman legions at the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest: “Arminius had acquired Roman citizenship and had received a Roman military education, which enabled him to deceive the Roman commander methodically and anticipate the Roman army’s tactical responses.”

At the end of December the U.S. Navy launched a new recruiting campaign using Swarming Teams. The focus is on recruiting immigrants because the USN is being built-up to a 355 ship organization and they’re going to need anybody they can get to sail those ships: “I immigrated from the Dominican Republic as a child and grew up in New York, so being in Miami is great because I speak Spanish and that helps a lot.”-Electrician’s Mate 2nd Class Jonathan Urraca
“Being a Columbian-American and being a woman helps in recruiting, because recently I was able to speak with a mother who didn’t understand much about the Navy, and getting through that language barrier really helped ease her concerns about the Navy.”– Master-At-Arms 3rd Class Lina Marcella-Arce
“The first Swarm has exceeded our expectations, but where the rubber meets the road is in four to five months where we can see if people’s interest turn into contracts.”-Captain Matthew Boren
