Immigrant tax

When someone moves to a different country and, as an immigrant, their previous work experience is not recognised and they earn less.
I moved here 2 years ago and I’m still paying immigrant tax. I should be done in a couple years

Immigraytheon

im-mi-gray-thee-on

A satirical term combining “immigrant” and “Raytheon” (a major defence contractor), referring to immigrant factory workers employed in the production of military arms, especially in the context of economic arguments for war-related industries.
A tongue-in-cheek nod to the idea that arming foreign conflicts (e.g., Ukraine) boosts domestic job growth, particularly for immigrant labour in the military-industrial complex.
“The PM touted arming Ukraine as an economic win, but all I could picture was Immigraytheon—newcomers assembling missiles to keep the GDP humming.”

immanentize the eschaton

That time when Terence McKenna was tripping on shrooms and his brother Dennis made a humming noise in his throat that they believed was going to alter the fabric of spacetime and elevate all of humanity to a higher plane of existence.
It's inevitable now, bro. You matched the frequency and started a chain reaction that's going to immanentize the eschaton.

Immanuel

Immanuels are either tall asf or short asf, they are like a jack of all trades, good in lots of fields, like sports,academics,story-writing, poetry,music, whatever. They are pretty chill. They might seem shy at first but really, if you approach them, you can easily become friends.(although you will have to invest a bit extra to gain their trust). Might have trust issues. Had a girl best friend who left their life after confessing and getting rejected. Can easily get distracted. Gullible. Book smart but not allat street smart. overthinker. They are always late for whatever and always ditch a hangoutin the last moment("their parents didnt allow it" -_-) They can sing well for some reason. very curious ppl.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement

A notorious organization that is known for terrorizing immigrants. They can go fuck themselves.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement just caught my neighbor who has a wife and two young disabled children just because he has issues with an orange turd in office. He plans on getting deported to a prison in El Salvador that host violent gang members even though he has never committed a crime.
