Chart showing data described in the post. Note: All series show ratio of price index to average hourly earnings of production & non-supervisory workers (non-managers). Ratios are indexed to 100 as-of 12/31/2005 and are current through March 2026. All series are seasonally adjusted except for Medical Insurance. Medical Insurance CPI does not reflect premiums, but the retained earnings (profitability) of insurance companies. Other factors driving premiums higher are passed through via other catergories of CPI.

Here are the same four categories as reflected in CPI, *adjusted for wages* i.e. the average $ earned by line, non-manager workers. The fact so many of those charts are cut off in ~2020 and aren't adjusted for wages is another big red flag.

Dear god. Very, very serious allegations of mass civil rights violations at the State of Florida's Everglades immigration detention center (officially known as "Alligator Alcatraz").

Barrera said her husband said the smell of human feces in the toilet caused a fellow detainee to vomit and, in turn, created a chain of people vomiting.
She said her husband is asthmatic and has not received medication to treat his condition. The lack of medicine and the stress of the overcrowded holding cell has left him short of breath and teetering on the edge of an asthma attack, Barrera said.
ICE did not immediately respond to questions on April 10 about the conditions of the Mesa or Phoenix facilities.
After the publication of this article, Barrera told The Arizona Republic her husband was transferred to the ICE facility at San Luis Regional Detention Center at about midnight. The San Luis Regional Detention Center is in Southwestern Arizona and has the capacity to hold 700 people.

This is horrific. A U.S. citizen describes the facility in Arizona that her husband was brought to while he waited to be put on a deportation flight. Dozens of people were crammed into tiny cells, there was a "chain of people vomiting" from filthy toilets, no medical care, and only one meal per day.

When you add it all up, the collapse in immigration looks like this: a decline of roughly 50K for illegal (even including the people arrested and not released) and a decline of about 132K for legal. Over 70% of the cut in immigration has come from LEGAL immigration.

One more horrible thing about current modern life…

I used to think someone errantly calling or texting me was an opportunity to show kindness.

Now I just assume someone is trying to rip me off. A real shame.

When we chose to defend the weak and the fatherless,

and uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed,

as well as send astronauts around the moon and back,

then America will be back.

I've studied so many concentration camps through history that held vulnerable people in just this kind of crowded squalor. You demonize people, you demand more arrests, this is what you get. It already has its own budget and its own momentum, and is on track to go much further, unless we stop it.
