The last statistic I read was that there were 92 million Americans who were not in the labor force, and that the jobs are going to immigrants and illegals. I don’t see how someone can state that this doesn’t harm working Americans, unless it is a parsing of words. If someone is working, then immigrants aren’t hurting that person’s employment. Otherwise, let’s deport all persons who are in this country illegally and see what happens to the employment rate and job participation.
I now have a non-native delivering my mail who speaks broken English and misdelivers mail constantly, tell me again about how they can’t get Americans to do the jobs?
We’ve all known that for years. Ain’t no democracy anymore just crony capitalism.
Illegal immigration suppresses wages.
Here's my answer to David Frum:
Federal court upholds U.S. flag ban on Cinco de Mayo; lawyer vows to take case to U.S. Supreme Court
Yes, next question.
He says their arguments might sound logical and meritorious, but what they use to justify all the immigration isn’t what happens. So yeah, it does harm Americans.
” Yes, next question.”
Not a tough call.
If there is one thing we can blame for the destruction of America it is the change from a constitutional republic to a democracy.
Democracy is nothing but a satanic agenda to make people think they are ruling them selves when the constitutional republic was the actual machine that allowed the people to rule.
Native-born Americans are not in the democrats play book they need the stupid and hungry to keep them in power until full socialism in enacted.
Obama has gained more ground in six years then his party has in fifty years Ted Kennedy expected to come back to life soon.
Most are either unaware or in denial.
This idea that any main party cares about immigration enforcement has always been a chuckle.
Agree it’s not going to get any better soon they have to feel the wrath of the people.
Something else that nobody is talking about, nobody at all. If white fifty-year-old electrical engineers with spotless records are not finding jobs, just think how black unskilled youth must be feeling, especially with so many of their cohorts whispering in their ears about people not hiring them because RACISM. This group is suffering under staggering unemployment numbers and chatter you are going to ignore if things are going well for you is going to take on all new relevance when you are stuck and start looking for an explanation for what is happening to you.
At some level someone knows this and is very cynically blaming it on ANYTHING but unchecked immigration (legal and illegal).
It destroys wages.
There is no fare market wage when foreigners are imported by the millions, to make sure that wages stay low.
What is a survival job today, used to be a solid job that could support a family.
Immigration suppresses wages, the only difference between legal and illegal is how quickly they get to vote for the democrats and collect welfare.
Getting ready for Obama's State of the Union lies.
