U.S. Rep. Shri Thanedar, D-Mich., posted on X during the past hour from 9:45 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. UTC on Dec. 9, 2025, stating that by an opponent's logic, the opponent's wife's entire family is 'stealing the American dream.' Thanedar quoted the statement: 'Mass migration is theft of the American Dream. It has always been this way, and every position paper, think tank piece, and econometric study suggesting otherwise is paid for by the people getting rich off of the old system,' according to his X post at https://x.com/RepShriThanedar/status/1998078852770464012. The post targets immigration rhetoric without naming the opponent directly, as confirmed in the source material posted within the reporting window.
