The fallacy in your point is that many of those unemployed are in fact unemployable.
I speak with employers and the constant is they can’t find people that are either not druggies or that can be relied on to come to work every day.
The unemployed are Americans but that doesn’t mean they are all
worth a damn
“I speak with employers and the constant is they can’t find people that are either not druggies or that can be relied on to come to work every day.”
90 million drug addicts? I know you’re not saying that.
So what do we have? A lot of people who aren’t terribly reliable, and a lot who smoke pot once or twice a month.
Continued immigration from shitholes will destroy our country. Given that one undeniable fact, I think employers should put up with casual pot smokers and people who take the occasional three-day weekend. It’s not ideal, I know, but look at the alternative.
What are they really saying? “If I hire these Americans, my bottom line will be affected. Not much, but some. To avoid that, I’m going to destroy the United States of America.”
Hiring illegals needs to be made a capital crime. Hiring an immigrant when there’s an American applying for the job needs to be a serious crime.
“The unemployed are Americans but that doesn’t mean they are all worth a damn”
Neither does it mean that they are all worthless. And it certainly doesn’t mean that some tribesman from Somalia is better.
You take some guy, “graduated” from a slum high school, not very reliable for $7.00 an hour. Train him up and pay him $30.00 an hour as a machinist, and he’ll start showing up for work religiously. I’ve seen it. And that allows him to attract a wife, have some kids, and be around to raise them.
Not every individual can be saved, of course, but some can.
Back in the 1960s there were gummint programs to train in things like machine tool operation and small engine repair.
Some of the students actually learned how to do those things and got jobs. It was one of the few programs I’ve seen that actually had some salubrious effects on unemployability.
Truth is there are great American workers that do want jobs, yes of course there are Americans that do not want to work, can’t pass background or drug test.
The thing is though...not all illegals want to work either. Not all of the illegals can pass a drug or background check. Many of them do not come here to work; they come here to engage in criminal activity or get on the social programs or both. The real truth is most people that hire illegals don’t bother to do drug testing or background checks on them.
No one should come here illegally or be here illegally. If companies cannot hire illegals, and must hire American workers and cannot fill all the jobs then we need to look at ways to solve that issue- legal immigration IF needed and AS needed.
