Did you know that the Spanish have a very unique and creative solution to the immigration issue?

So solve the problem by declaring there is no problem and encouraging more to come. Look at Poland practically zero migrant gang rape or violence and economically booming with low unemployment and clean streets.

That's awsome. Its not creative, I said the same thing in the USA. The problem is, which ones are terrorists? There are people in Pakistan, including women, blowing themselves up. That's bad if it's in Barcelona.

The story of the immigrant is so true for so many that I saw first hand. They are miserable and desperate. I'll bet you see more than that leaving France and UK to go to Spain... a flood they cannot process. It is so hard for those people to survive without paperwork and the language. I met some in the USA that were miserable as well (during Biden time) because so hard to work. But it's easier in big cities where they can hide and do cash jobs for cheap. This is though... abusive... they are trapped and stuck.

Spain has longer been more accustomed to some of these other culture and maybe a better fit.

I bet in time, it doesn't work, but I applaud their efforts!

[NathanDavis]

it's not unique so it is not creative...

it's not a solution either

many other countries have done it before, and the USA too... a lot of immigrants have been promised a "regularization" before, but many times it is conditional and temporary but not permanent

it's just more of the same... and it is only done when they need cheap labor the most, lol

[msc545]

Well, yeah, I figured it had something to do with cheap labor. Doesn't everything?

[NathanDavis]

for capitalism, yes...

[exitseven]

Thats just great. Letting in illegal aliens so the rich can exploit them, How much do you think they can make washing dishes or mowing lawns? Not enough to pay rent and buy food I imagine. The govt. has to provide them with assistance.

[msc545]

You mean like we do here in the US?

[exitseven]

@msc545 Yes. exactly. They pour into the country and move to sanctuary cities which are the most expensive places to live in the country and even if they find jobs they are paid minimum wage at best. The taxpayers have to put up the rest to support them. The rich get cheap labor and the taxpayers subsidize it.

[msc545]

Okay, in that case, why don't you wash dishes or mow lawns instead for the same amount of money that they make? Somebody has to do it, and you should be grateful they're available to do it. If the government has to provide some assistance, then so be it. Believe me, if you were working for that kind of money and needed assistance, you would be screaming at the government for it too.

[msc545]

I will add that since the government (at least in the United States) provides massive assistance to big industries, particularly the defense industry, at the rate of a trillion dollars a year, I think some needed assistance to people who work hard and don't have enough to support themselves is not asking too much.

[exitseven]

@msc545 people should be paid a living wage. I remember when the guy who pumped your gas was paid enough to live a middle class life. All the good factory jobs were shipped offshore. We need to bring them back abd have a country where everyone gets fed.

[msc545]

I don't know what you're complaining about. The United States supports the banking industry, heavily supports the defense industry, and all kinds of other businesses with huge amounts of money. And you don't complain about this, and yet when some money is given to people who work hard and do necessary work and can't afford to clothe themselves, or feed themselves, or house themselves, you complain. It makes no sense to me that you do this.

[msc545]

If you think you're going to force people to pay other people a living wage, you are not thinking clearly. Nobody is going to tolerate you or any of us interfering with the holy writ of capitalism, which means paying people as little as possible and taking as much as you can for yourself.

[exitseven]

@msc545 The banking industry performs a useful function and we need a strong military to survive as a country. All illegal aliens do is depress wages and collect welfare. Maybe some random B&Es too.

[msc545]

The banking industry in this country is corrupt as hell.

[exitseven]

Yes, but any time somebody wants to fix it it gets worse. I think part of the problem is that we only have two or three banks. Years ago there were plenty of regional banks that encouraged competition. They all got gobbled up by Bank of America or CitBank.

[msc545]

Yeah, we still have Wells Fargo branches of banks around here too. The corruptest of the corrupt.

[exitseven]

@msc545 hears ago there were many regional banks that were mpre like neighborhood institutions that multi national corporations. Once they got big enough to buy politicians , it was all over.

[msc545]

True

[msc545]

So banking doesn't really perform a valuable function at

[msc545]

But you are perfectly willing to subsidize the defense industry and all of its corruption every year at a trillion or more dollars of our money. That is somehow okay with you, right?

[ProbablyClueless]

The Spanish also have a consistent unemployment rate of around 10% and a tourism/hospitality economy which relies on unskilled labor.

[Sevenpointfive]

that's exactly what biden was trying to do. but it hurts our economy, not the businesses. it's the reason why we now have a living wage and inflation and ICE.

[Dargil]

I think the United States has a very unique and creative solution to the immigration issue. Round them up and ship them out.

[msc545]

Yes, well that particular solution winds up being not very viable considering that you do it to American citizens whose votes you don't want, that's not going to keep working.

[DextroShade]

Their "solution" is to invite the entire third-world to come live in their country and get on welfare in exchange for voting to keep the current communists in power, which is exactly what Biden and the Democrats were trying to do here in the USA until it backfired spectacularly and reelected Trump.

[msc545]

A solution for you is to get a bit more education.

[DextroShade]

You couldn't refute anything I said so you just respond with a useless platitude about education. Pathetic.

[msc545]

It's pathetic that you believe in that great replacement theory of yours.

[DextroShade]

It's not a conspiracy theory when they are openly bragging about doing it while the White % of the population falls.

[msc545]

Have you considered going to the pizza parlor and checking the basement, too?

[asker43]

Old Europe was a good place

[msc545]

It still is.

[asker43]

No it isn't

[msc545]

Really? Do you live there or have you visited there? How would you know that?

[asker43]

I visited and ı saw

[msc545]

Where did you visit for how long ago and for how long?

[CaptainSmartass]

Well, Spain's fucked then. All those illegals clogging the place up.

Simples...

[msc545]

They are managing this problem a lot better than the US is.

[beefcakebradybatson]

No MAGA a**holes there, apparently !!!
