It amazes me that people are so out of touch with the fabric of our society.  Maybe I shouldn't be so surprised. If the 95% of the country really understood that all of us were the economic engine keeping the top 5% happy......if we acted as 1 and had a national strike to deal with the gross economic disparity I imagine we could get that negotiated pretty quick. If only we could organize 

 

And that 5% sure does make sure there are plenty of targets keeping us all divided. Immigrants, even the illegal ones, are not why we have inflation and stagnant wages. They are in the same boat with us.

I encountered it firsthand, in a roundabout way.  Growing up in Chicago in the late 60s/early 70s, my family was known to spend time in SW Michigan, either on vacation or day trips to the u-pick-it fruit farms.  The area along Lake Michigan was known for its fruit farms.  During growing season, the small towns there would become bilingual - churches would have Spanish Masses, movie theatres would screen Mexican movies, shit like that.  

 

As a snot nosed little kid, I was actually a little jealous.  At least when they picked fruit, they got paid....

In California, After picking fruit all day, the farm workers would hang out behind 7 11 after work, pouring back a 12-pack of Budweiser and would do it all over again the next day.

So did a lot of posters, including your guy here and the spazhole. Replying and reacting to all my posts then pulling the victim card. 95% of those post were responding to them. No mention of that, right? Glad you're keeping track of me though. 

Appreciative.

Hey, while you're white knighting for the low IQ @InnZoneU, did you want to comment on his accusations of mass school shootings and other mass shooting accusations while he was posting and responding for 15 hours as well? He quickly deleted the mass school shooting post because he knew he'd get banned. Or, how about the personal message he sent wanting to fight me? Any comments on that? Or is it just teams and shit and normal echo chamber banter that you approve of? Fact is, he finally realized he's not smart and quit.  

Oh, the btw, did you want to tell everyone about when you went round and round for 15 hours with me as well. Or do you conveniently forget about that, smart guy? 

Are you going to run a hide now, hypocrite?

Wasn’t there a legal process for that…? Started with a “b” if I recall…

...  no. the bracero program died 60 years ago. since then it's been mostly illegal labor, a situation that until ~2015 was more or less part of the republican platform (leave illegals alone, all this cheap labor is great for SBOs). 

dude you're from california. why do you act like you're an alien who landed on earth 4 weeks ago? did you pay zero attention to the world around you until october 2024?

"

Georgia’s experience is consistent with economic research on immigration. Although many Americans believe immigrants “steal” our jobs and push down our wages, economists find little evidence of that.

Since 1950 the U.S. labor force has roughly doubled in size, but there has been no long-run increase in unemployment. Most economic studies also find little evidence that increased immigration depresses the wages of U.S. workers.  At worst, it might push down the wages of high school dropouts, but even there the effect is small.

 

Simple supply and demand analysis would seem to indicate if you increase the supply of labor, wages will decline. But immigrants don’t simply increase the supply of labor. They supply skills that most Americans don’t have. As such, they don’t replace American workers so much as free them up to do other, typically more-skilled, things. This symbiotic relationship benefits immigrants and native-born alike."

 

 

Immigrants are bad !

They don't speak English, they dilute the gene pool, they bring crime and drugs with them, they're not us !

Not for the wages paid for those positions currently. No native born person is picking turnips or working in a poultry factory for 8 dollars an hour
