This question inspired by Curmy. Liberals love and adore illegal labor. But to what end?

[StevieNix]

Liberals will tell you that illegal labor keeps the strawberry prices down. It does. Absolutely.
What about roofing, carpentry, construction, cement finishing, plumbing, dry wall, land scaping, electrical work, car mechanics? Where do you draw the line?

My cousin's wife is a Spanish teacher, and she's as liberal as the day is long. I asked her if she would be OK if an illegal alien came in in and took her job. He or she could do it for half the price. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Too many Americans naively believe in "hard work" and "earning your money" which is corporate propaganda to make it easier to exploit and enslave their workers.

Americans will also act incredibly hostile towards any ideas of equality and a living wage and Socialist ideas saying things like "why should i have to pay x thing for x person" or "if i work x hours of overtime i will get payed the same as a person who doesn't?" Or "they are just teenagers and not human beings they don't deserve a living wage for working such a simple entry level job".

What they fail to realize is by dehumanizing and devaluing other people and workers they also dehumanize and devalue themselves. By allowing illegal immigrants to work twice as hard 80 hours a week and be paid so little with no worker rights and no health care they automatically devalue their work and themselves.

By arguing survival of the fittest and smartest and the one who is willing to put in the most hours into their work is who succeeds then they easily are beat by immigrant workers or anyone who is insane enough to work 80 hours a week with no weekends for the least pay possible.

The only ones who benefit from such brainwashed zealous corporate work ethic are the corporation themselves and the capitalist who actually own the means of production and capital. They would love nothing more than a slave work force who fight amongst themselves and not unionize.

[StevieNix]

Have you ever brought someone into the country legally? I've don'e it twice, and it's a bitch. Give it a shot and you will see how fucked up the process is.

[vald9inches]

i am sure it is a bitch lol but i fail to see the connection to what i said?

[StevieNix]

There is no connection. I was just asking you a question.

[vald9inches]

oh then no i have not brought someone into the country before

[exitseven]

Nobody ever thinks about this until it happens to them. I can remember when being a roofer or a framing carpenter was a pretty well paid job. Now the crews are all illegal aliens. I had new windows put on my house 11 years ago. Nobody on the crew could speak a word of English except for the foreman. The next time I saw the sales guy I told him this was not what we discussed and I did not like being lied to. He really had no answer for me.

[StevieNix]

When people defend the illegal aliens, they always just talk about strawberries and who wants to work in the sun. They can do a lot of jobs other than that.

[sage2021]

Illegals do a shitty job doing roofing. We just had a situation in my apartment building. The roofers (not one spoke any English), hit the roof so hard that it broke the water pipes throughout the building. My bathroom and bedroom ceilings got flooded in my apartment and they fell down. Everything got wet. I had to temporarily move to another apartment for three weeks. On top of that, they took a leaf blower and blew all the dirty crap from the roof onto my balcony 🤬 and went home! What a fricken mess! I guess you get what you pay for is true!
Don't hire illegals if you want a good job done correctly. I was so pissed at those idiots. Grrrr!

[StevieNix]

It sounds like your apartment manager took the lowest bid possible. Hopefully they have insurance to pay for all the water damage.

[sage2021]

@StevieNix well, it costs me almost $400 to get my apartment cleaned because they wouldn't do it. They cause me so much unnecessary stress.

[motownplayer2000]

Well, you can get goods and service for half the price and save money, or find someone that’s going to do it for almost double the price. That’s what happens.. plus, most of the do jobs that American wouldn’t imagine doing. Can’t find an American to work right now. It’s pathetic

[StevieNix]

Do you agree with me that the department of immigration is a waste of money? What purpose does it serve. I was telling a fellow on here that I've helped two women come to America legally. No more.
Now I just teach them how to come illegally. It's cheaper and no one seems to care.

[motownplayer2000]

Really anything in government is a waste. Except for the military. The rest of it is people lobbying for more power and money.

[Pudsmucker]

I was always wondering why the migrant workers we're heavy in the area that I lived. That tells me why the liberals are so cheap and paying the prevailing wage farm labor. And the liberals are getting rich from us people that buy their products from the stores. Get real.

[StevieNix]

I don't even know why we have a department of immigration.

[Pudsmucker]

It's government to have head count to say we are in control.

[Avicenna]

For leftists, it's a twofer- they please their corporate donor masters with cheap labor and they please their identity politics ethnic lobbies among NGOs. Side benefit is that it creates rotten boroughs that Democrat politicians benefit from.

[StevieNix]

And meanwhile they just repeat the mantra "comprehensive immigration reform."

comprehensive immigration reform = we ain't changing a thing

[Avicenna]

It also gives them more clients for their government bureaucracies, a huge part of their base

[StevieNix]

I feel bad for Jose. He filled out the paperwork and has been waiting in line for ten years. But the farmer doesn't want Jose, because he might have to pay him minimum wage.

[Slartybartfast]

Ronald Reagan encouraged illegal Mexican immigration to bust the meat packing union. He also did it to help large California producers compete with small Midwest farms.

Knowing is half the battle...

[StevieNix]

How long ago was that? Who now wants open borders?

[Slartybartfast]

"who now wants open borders?"

The same wealthy people who want low wage workers and vote Republicans.

[StevieNix]

Who is in charge of the border?

[Slartybartfast]

Besides , at this point most Republicans have proven themselves traitors who supported a violent coup attempt. However bad the democrats are, i cannot support the sedition of the new Confederate party formerly know as the GOP.

[StevieNix]

You're a complete idiot.

[Whatever2929292]

They are really something else. Most of them I think the politicians are with the cartels like Pelosi

[StevieNix]

That would make absolute sense since what they're doing.

[Whatever2929292]

Yup it seems to be.

[Sixgunsound]

Something tells me the teachers union wouldn’t be willing to give up their plum jobs to actually put their money where their mouth is.

[007kingifrit]

i think the teacher's unions will lose their money eventually anyways, the janus decision a few years ago takes a ton of money out of their hands

[StevieNix]

That's not happening. And let's face it, we can ALL be replaced. When the caravans started heading this way, the left told you to not believe your lying eyes. You were just wrong and a racist.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

And Republicans don't like cheap labor from migrants? Trump certainly does when he hired illegal aliens to work for him.

[StevieNix]

What do YOU want?

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

What you mean?

[StevieNix]

When it's the Dominican Republic, you're a conservative. When it's the USA, you're a liberal who hates Trump. Name ONE thing Trump did to you. Not two two things, but just one.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

I support border control. I believe all countries should protect their borders.

But don't act like Republicans aren't just as guilty as the Democrats will their lack of border control. Illegal migration has been a problem for a very long time in the U. S.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Trump is a prick of a man. You want to respect a man that treats other people like trash? No way.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

*want me

[StevieNix]

Great. So we agree on everything.
Democrats want drag queens teaching in schools.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

I agree with that the current Democrat party has been hijacked by disgusting weirdos.

[007kingifrit]

i would gladly pay more for strawberries if americans could walk out of high school into a full time job and buy a house

[StevieNix]

Me too. American farmers should just give up their farms and move to Mexico. They could grow strawberries all day long and export them to the US. Problem solved. But the Dems are all giddy about getting the illegal vote.

[kinkyoldman]

They have historically voted democrate. But polls now are changing. It might be like that in November

[StevieNix]

Did you notice how Joey didn't let the Cubans in? They desperately want to come to America and be good citizens, but there's no way in hell they will vote for the commie party. They had their fill of that shit.

[kinkyoldman]

Exactly

[gorydetails]

They like the idea of brown people doing their manual labor for pennies.

[StevieNix]

It sure seems like it.
