They take jobs at wages Americans won’t work at.
Yes! That’s the real issue. No one wants the labor job outside making $14/hour. You could find plenty wanting to do it for $30.
the real issue is we don’t want to pay double for those services.
You say that like labor is the only thing that factors into a final product and nothing else contributes to the final like the materials costs, overhead costs or even the ever growing push to maximize profits.
for a great many things it is. and even in the other cases you’re still looking at significant price increases people will still not be willing to pay. people can barely handle 10% inflation.
Inflation doesn’t mean shit when corporations make record profits
the point is people are already freaking out having to pay only 10% more for things.
10% more on things from a company still* breaking records for profits. Corporate greed is killing us all.
Stick to still… fat fingers on a phone edit*
Whatever jobs they’re working, they’re paying taxes and getting no government benefits. Wonder why no politicians ever bring this up?
Immigration boosts the economy.
both parties in the US are active in advertising the need for tighter, stronger borders to keep out those ‘illegals’
most US citizens are unaware of the true reasons that are keeping the borders closed
if people moved more freely then so would ideas and other cultures and that would bring change to election results that would shake the two-party sham to its core
same reason the minimum wage is kept at $7.25 along with poor education standards
people making living wages that also have sufficient education would realize both parties are actively against the progress of the US citizens
This sounds well-reasoned but truth is most (probably 90%+) migrants want to assimilate or intend to return home. That this is about controlling ideas I sincerely doubt.
That was the historic pattern for decades.
Nativeism - it’s what’s for dinner
The public can have a little jingoism too, as a treat
that snark just snapped my head back.
