It’s anti-business for the same exact reason the 13th Amendment is anti-business.
I understood what you meant....seemed to me you meant that the only ones calling it ‘anti-business’ were folks like the GOPe \, Marl Zuckerberg, etc
Where oh where will the business ripples end? Housing rentals, Used car lots, cheap by the month auto insurance, EBT, Wic, Medi-Cal, the unions, school districts, rapacious rent to own shysters, payday loan shysters, moneygram fees to send the loot to Mexico, ripple, ripple, ripple.
What about all the construction jobs associated with building the wall?
“But some say that Trump’s particular brand of populism — inveighing against the influx of foreign workers taking jobs or holding down wages — could help shift the terms of the immigration debate. “
And that is precisely what is needed. I’d go one further in putting the responsibility on these countries exporting their poverty to the US taxpayer rather than reforming their corrupt governments and economic policies.
Mexico has been living next to a first world economy for 150 years and is still a basket case due to corrupt and racist policies emanating from Mexico City.
Lock in a huge population of young Mexican males agitating for change and you’ll see things change.
Well corporatist so are anti America, so, whatever...
As well as about 30 percent of the people polled who are going to chose the next President...And that number is going to rise...
I've worked my entire life...I am a pro-worker as well...And the left may just jump on the wagon...
South Texas is a Third World country. Anywhere that is 20%+ Hispanic is a Third World country.
We gave almost a billion dollars in foreign aid to Mexico in 2014. Seems like that would pay for a whole lot of fence and border patrol agents. $10,000 a person to send people back to Mexico? Loading them in school buses for a one way trip with whatever they could pack in a carry on bag that fit under their seat would cost a whole lot less than that. We’re not talking about first class on an airplane. Good grief.
Pregnant Chinese Women fly into California to deliver their Children so they will be U.S. Citizens.
Who would not think that there is something really wrong with that?
IMHO anti business is 93 million American out of the workforce.
Airplanes didn’t exist when the 14th amendment was written.
This is why the founders gave us the ability to amend. Circumstances have drastically changed.
Why are people so reluctant to amend the Constitution in the last few decades? It used to not be such a big deal. If we had done it on marriage 15 years ago we wouldn’t have same-sex marriage today. Now, it appears polling shows we would not have the votes to do a marriage amendment today (but we would’ve had the votes to stop a repeal of a marriage amendment if we had passed it years ago).
Polling shows the general public is conservative enough to seriously tighten immigration policy as well as to ban abortion (with the rape/incest/life exceptions). We should begin pushing for amendments for both right away while passage may be within reach.
Basically we don’t even need Congress to do it. If 38 of the states get on board, that’s all we need. 2/3rds of the state legislatures can have a convention to propose amendments and then 38 states need to ratify it. A handful of states would need some lobbying and campaigning to get them on board, but it’s possible it could succeed.
It may be “anti-BIG Bidness” but it’s very pro-AMERICAN. I finally got my first Social Security check and the commie bastards are saying that they are going to have to cut the amount, probably next year, so they’ll have the money to pay disability for newly arrived illegal alien idiot kids and Social Security and Medicare for Mama and Papa from Mehico. Uncle Sam can KMA.
But OReally said it was unconstitutional tonight. Mark better talk to him and get straightened out.
Pray America is waking
anti-business as usual...
Because Democrats are so in-tune with what’s good for business that the economy always thrives under them....Oh, wait...
So many outright lies in that article... , but typical of San Antonio, Austin, Dallas and Houston news sources in TX.
Perhaps now American businesses will learn that they should start ACTING AMERICAN, rather than helping to DESTROY this country through Open Borders.
I always say that businesses that depend on cheap illegal labor have built their business on a pile of sand. Sooner or later, they have to know, Americans are going to put a stop to it.
Mexican children cross the border in Texas to attend American public schools. How would you like paying the property taxes for that illegal sham?
