Alright, you made me look some stuff up in relation to what you and I have been saying:
Here are two pertinent quotes:
An employer wrote in 1739 that the only way to make workers sober and hard-working, was to lay [workers] under the necessity of laboring all the time they can spare from rest and sleep in order to procure the common necessaries of life.
Another, in 1714, wrote, The poor have nothing to stir them up to be serviceable but their wants, which it is prudence to relieve, but folly to cure.
I suspect the flooding of the country with immigrants of all kinds, is designed to increase the supply of labor and thereby lower salaries and thereby keep the people hungry enough to work hard and put up with stuff.
Also to maintain a large welfare class I think. At the same time we're being taxed to death to provide for a very expensive public educational system, we're bringing in millions of people who have no education at all. It doesn't make sense ---why not just quit educating Americans if we really need that many low-skilled workers and save the taxpayers some money.
