Recently, a rumor has gone around announcing that President Joe Biden has enacted Executive Order 9066, which gives $5,000 to people who have entered the United States Illegally. When in reality, Order 9066 forced immigrants of Asian descent in 1942 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt during World War 2.
““Executive order 9066 is rewarding these illegals with $5,000 gift cards. I’m busting my ass just to get more in debt every month because of Bidenomics. The Democrats have let me know I am DEAD LAST as an American. I will never support a Democrat or liberal after seeing what destruction they have caused in the last 3 years. What about you?” said one false post on X that had more than 11,700 likes and shares before it was deleted.” APNews. People who continue to post false forms of media are able to manipulate and hurt our own government—causing people to believe that one person isn't so hard. It takes a good motive, but people are able to find that motive to produce the world's greatest weapon, Fear.
