Don’t fall for Trump’s pivot toward ‘humane’ immigration policies [barf alert]
Washington Post ^ | August 22, 2016 | Editorial Board

Posted on 08/23/2016 9:26:12 PM PDT by grundle

... at least 8 million unauthorized immigrants are employed, most have been in this country for 15 years or longer, and typically they do jobs — tending crops, washing dishes, mowing lawns — that native-born Americans do not want. In basic economic terms, illegal immigrants meet the labor market’s demand for lower-wage employees, for which there is a shortage of available legal workers.

[tending crops, washing dishes, mowing lawns — that native-born Americans do not want...]

Says the BIGOTED ELITISTS who seek cheap labor to do the jobs THEY don’t want to do.

If we stop illegal immigration and there is still a need, Congress can allow for more LEGAL workers. Why would the illegal approach ever be a good thing?

Good! We won’t be fooled by the “pivot”! Donald J. Trump is still the same Law and Order guy he was yesterday! He said so again tonight on Hannity.

I realize that the WP must write these daily articles to assuage their globalist funders,
but that doesn't mean that we must read them, or post them.

Just maybe bums on welfare should be told to take these jobs rather than take more money from productive Americans.

Many of those ‘jobs that Americans’ don’t want’ were filled
by teens and early 20s. Now they sit around unemployed because they’ve been shamed into think those ARE jobs no one wants.

DONALD TRUMP will talk some sense into them - most people start at the bottom and work their way up the ladder. PLUS, companies should be coming back home to America opening up the workforce.

Sooooooooo, I guess WAPO is implying that if you've been robbing banks for 15 years, even though it's illegal it's okay because you've been doing it for so long...

Isn’t it interesting they want higher minimum wages that no one will get, and illegals to earn way less. Also if illegals stay here permanently they either will make more or stay in menial work. How is either result good?

I washed dishes. I mowed lawns. I guess that makes me an illegal alien.

Stop buying from Amazon, the rabid leftist Bezos owns both—the WA Compost and Amazon, and as usual, leftists never learn the difference between moral and brain dead. Barnes and Noble, Books A Million and other sites would love to have your business. Would Walt Disney ever have imagined his company owning two pieces of crap known as ABC or ESPN?

The illegal immigrants working for the Washington Compost mop the floors, clean the bathrooms, wash the windows, empty the wastebaskets and slop the sinks in its cafeteria for a few bucks an hour part-time with no benefits.

That's why the Post supports illegal immigration and Hillary Clinton.

I consider anyone subscribing to the Compost...or any company or corporation buying advertising space in this rag as traitors to their own country and their own countrymen.

Sounds like a blue haired, cat-eye glasses and shawl wearing Grandma singing on the front porch while nursing a little glass of Tennessee Whiskey.

” typically they do jobs — tending crops, washing dishes, mowing lawns — that native-born Americans do not want.”

Always with the same old lie, “jobs Americans do not want”. I guess that makes them feel better to claim that.
