The Tulsi Tugg

The end of this episode is Priceless as we banter the Republican 2028 ticket and also on the show today...

WWTD

With the approval rating of President Donald Trump @ 46.6%, Republican @42% and Democrats @ 34.7%. The dismal but gloating No Kings attendees showed up at 6.6% across the board.

Immigration be the Hot Topic and the imaginary authoritarian propaganda being thrown around like a high school love note. The question will be for the next 3 ½ years is…

Doe sit matter what Trump does and will he be chided for whatever decision he or his administration makes? Good or Bad

Alex Padilla

I stand corrected!

Sen. Alex Padilla has never been elected to the Senate. The fact is that in 2021 he was appointed by governor Gavin Newsom to replace Kamala Harris. He is up for election on 2026. He served as California Secretary of State from 2015 until his appointment to the United States Senate

California stands to lose $278 billion without undocumented workers

California could lose $278B in GDP output without undocumented workers, according to a new study.

Researchers examined the impact of the Trump administration's immigration policies on California's economy.

The study found that among California’s 10.6 million immigrants, almost 2.3 million are undocumented.

That represents one in five immigrants and 8% of all workers in the state, the analysis found.

Furthermore, figures showed undocumented workers generate almost 5% of California’s gross domestic product, based on direct wage contributions alone.

Researchers said that those workers contribute more than $23 billion a year in local, state, and federal taxes.

it is illegal to hire undocumented workers in the United States. The law prohibits employers from knowingly hiring, recruiting, or referring for a fee, individuals who are not authorized to work in the country. Employers who violate these laws may face both civil and criminal penalties.

The Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986 makes it unlawful for employers to hire, recruit, or refer for a fee, any alien knowing the alien is unauthorized to work in the U.S.
