“This unjust war is continuing to blame the economic problems on undocumented immigrants while the multinational corporations, such as Exxon, are bringing in $40 billion in profits, the largest profit by a corporation in history.”
Silly argument, Exxon is huge and their profit percentage was actually a little low. They just deal in very large quantity. But they create jobs and pay taxes. So that is $40 billion after taxes right?
How much did the “undocumented” immigrants pay? How many jobs did they create for Americans?
Apparently a basic understanding of economics is not a requirement to be a professor of sociology.
This is an unjust war where workers aren't reaping the rewards of their labor and when the real reasons for why wages are trailing productivity gains has little to do with the growth of the immigrant population, but more to do with the corporate profits that are taking the lion's share of economic growth
The reward of labor is wages, while profit is the reward for enterpreurship and risk-taking.
I hate reading material like this. It's so full of falsehoods that it offends even the most modest definition of political discourse.
Most frustrating is that these tactics seem to be more commonplace.
