Charlotte to Get 'Crackdown' While Corporate Taxes Remain Low
AP just broke news: Charlotte, NC is the next target for Trump's vaunted immigration crackdown, with CBP personnel expected within days. A local sheriff got the intel, but details are scarce, as DHS predictably clams up. (Transparency, anyone?) This operation will undoubtedly funnel more resources into enforcement, diverting funds and attention while corporations continue to enjoy historic tax
breaks. One might wonder who truly pays the price for these tough-on-immigrant spectacles. While families face terror and uncertainty, the same politicians who champion these crackdowns also consistently vote against raising corporate taxes or closing loopholes that cost billions. The 'threat' of an undocumented worker often seems far more pressing than the 'threat' of untaxed corporate profits.
It's a classic shell game, isn't it? Distract with headlines about 'illegals' as wealth consolidates at the top, and cities like Charlotte bear the human cost of policies designed to enrich the few.
