Your thoughts of summer and migrant farm workers crossed this mind as well. And, your summation of teens who are completely worthless when wanting money for nothing is also prevalent. However, few would call this ‘winning’. Not when these ‘folks’ are invited into this land and ESPECIALLY the fact that once here, they seldom leave.
It’s not over until the fat lady sings. Praying that lady is warming up behind the drawn curtains and once opened, the curtain will reveal the true facts.

We expected this from the leftists and we expect our President to fight to make this right, as best he can, in the people’s favor. We are the USA

The labor market is not orderly. It’s chaos.

First, stop using the phrase, human resources. New hires are people—not meat. Personnel is a better word. Our forefathers were right about our language.

Next, dump the incompetent, psychopathic managers. Hiring shouldn’t be limited to retarded, foreign, extremely obese, short people, bald people or people who sell illegal drugs. Those “arrogant,” “white,” young, tall, clean-cut American “males” would do just fine. ;-)

And quit stuffing well educated, old, crippled men into jobs that require lifting 80 lb. loads throughout a shift. And shut down the unnecessary overnight and rotating shifts. Those shifts—especially at pay that doesn’t support home air conditioning—are very unhealthy for most people, whose busybody neighbors and other nags won’t let them sleep during the day.

Seriously, there are good employees out there. But personal biases, bad habits, laziness, vanity or general crookedness shouldn’t be allowed to get in the way.

As for over the road truck driving, it takes a special kind of man to do that: one who has no family, doesn’t want one and wants to see the world without any sleep. And for driving in large metro areas, managers will simply have to settle for the descendants of the criminal hordes that their forefathers brought in from other countries and cultures. Because that’s the pool of labor around large, dangerous, crime-infested metro areas.

The labor market is chaos. That’s what workers who made it through long periods of recession due to traitorous trade policies needed to learn. Employers can learn it, too...or throw labor visa tantrums and pollute the labor pool yet more.

Hopefully some of these jobs are going to the crab picking houses. They have relied on H2B workers for years for these seasonal jobs. The same workers come back every year and go home again at the end of the season (October I think).

Eliminate visas and universities and businesses will start demanding real reform in public education.

We might also keep an eye on news from Brittany Pettibone and Lauren Southern, to see if one of them gives notice on how to support Tommy Robinson. We can further disseminate the word on that, when the time comes. Should be soon, I would think. Tommy (Stephen) also has a wife and children, if I remember correctly.

Here’s Brittany’s Twitter account (most likely for news on how to support Tommy).

https://twitter.com/BrittPettibone

Here’s Lauren’s.

Was this with Neilsen’s approval, or was it done by some 0bamite in the bureaucracy?

Lauren keeps very busy, too, but she might still be traveling. Don’t know, as I haven’t followed her posts for a while (busy with things here). Brittany might still be keeping a closer watch on what’s going on in Europe. ...might still be there...not sure and will have a look.

Martin Sellner is also one to follow. He might still be with Brittany...don’t know. Here’s his account.

Watched it. Tommy shows remarkable constraint and common sense. He exposes the root of the problem and educates his viewers.

His conduct in the Twitter video is reasonable, well-behaved, accommodative, civil, non-threatening.

I am sure the British Press would never touch this side of the story. The society this press attaches to is brainwashed, ignorant, and molded into positions that cannot be defended. So the response is to choose to ignore the indefensible by blinding themselves and continuing with their programmed narrative in their day-to-day routines which are away from it all.

Tommy is indeed a political prisoner.

There can be no opposing views to their law that no group can be targeted especially Islamic groups because doing so is a display of racism. The consequence is that criminal Muslim gangs hide behind this law and are never held accountable for their crimes.

The crimes happen on the fringes of White working-class neighborhoods such as where Tommy lives. This is where the Muslim gangs touch the borders of British working class families.

The middle-class and upper-class families live in isolation away from the lower working class. The conflicts are “over there away from us”. Inside these communities which are 99.9% White, there are no conflicts. The attitude is “don’t bring conflict here” which is skewed to “don’t bring your racism here because we are educated and at peace, and know how to live without conflict whereas you Tommy Robinsons are always in trouble and causing everyone else discomfort because you are uneducated and don’t know how to speak proper upper-crust English.”

British society is cowered to think of holding Muslim criminals accountable because the perception is so great that they will be thought racist by doing so.

The Brits that would ignore the plight of their working-class Tommy Robinsons are the problem but they won’t allow themselves to think that. They will never allow even the thought they must hold themselves accountable for their acquiescence and dereliction. They think “it has nothing to do with us, it’s all the fault of those Tommy Robinsons”.

Tommy who has experienced the Muslim crimes directly and is reacting against it reacts so reasonably and lawfully. For merely pointing out the problems he is jailed without trial. The young White kid who had asked that someone kill Tommy was confronted and knew he had done wrong. The kid was absolutely reflecting the attitudes and views of his 99.9% White neighborhood. This kid was programmed by his parents, his community, the media and press that saturate the groupthink around him, to have a view that was completely opposite from reality and when confronted with it knew that he was totally wrong, not even the least bit of wiggle room for an argument. This kid tried to argue his case but knew right away he had no case. He looked stunned and confused.

The question now is will this upper-class kid that Tommy confronted, the kid that had wished someone would just kill Tommy, will this kid and his friends have the courage to do what Tommy is doing? No, courage is not in their cultural upbringing. They are programmed to shun conflict. But this kid has been woken up. He doesn’t like being woke up this way. He wanted to think that Tommy was some monstrous racist and what he found was Tommy was likable, reasonable, and had valid points. I will bet this kid will withdraw. He will not support Tommy, he will just go dumb, never commenting, never engaging anyone about the experience he just had with reality because he is now confused and doesn’t know what to do or think. He’s a coward by upbringing. But he’s a kid.

please Mr. President. do something to stop this DHS travesty undermining the American worker.

Not likely. Trump companies like Mar a Largo and his wineries depend on H-2Bs.

Our county has been hit with hundreds of job losses in the last 3 months and there are more planned. We will have to move.

Unfortunately we cannot supply the people to fill certain jobs. Mostly med and hi tech. Too many can’t pass a drug test, unqualified or just whiny snowflakes

With so many companies hiring and not getting enough workers what other options can he use to keep the momentum going in pace with the companies growing and hiring?

Americans are already bitching about gas prices going up. Who do you think they're going to blame when the cost of produce at the grocery store doubles?
