Wait... Shiloh was found guilty of naughty words, but the guy she said naughty words to raped a 16 year old girl and got away with it??
I can't take this shit anymore.
Burn it all down.
I fundamentally and completely reject the idea that America will not thrive without illegal foreign labor.
Or that we cannot have thriving farms without illegal foreign labor.
It’s an insult to every part of our heritage, to generations of our families that bled to build what we have today.
Actual farmers, who are following the rules and doing it the right way, don't want or need illegal foreign labor.
They want to be paid fairly for what they’re growing. They want their kids to see opportunity in farming not just struggle.
They want to know that not only can their kids stay on the farm but want to stay because they know they can build a family and life.
They want inputs to be affordable, Big Ag giants to stop undercutting them, and to know their neighbors are not Chinese nationals.
But, every time there's a push for amnesty in DC, the talking points are always the same: "We have to do this for the (insert group)."
This time they're saying: "It's what the farmers want!"
But, it’s always the same lobbyists and multinational corporations profiting off cheap foreign labor that are feeding politicians those talking points.
"If we try to keep the farming, ranching, and construction industries from selling out and betraying the American people they'll join the Betraying America party" isn't the compelling argument some people believe it is.
Farmers don't get to impose the negative externality of mass illegal immigration merely because they are unable or unwilling to pay American wages for American workers
- You: "My stocks went up 10%."
- Government: "Congratulations! That's taxable."
- You: "But inflation was 8%. I only really gained 2%."
- Government: "We tax the full 10%."
- You: "You tax the inflation you created?"
- Government: "Capital gains are capital gains."
- You: "So you profit from debasing my money twice?"
- Government: "You're not an economist."
Isn’t it weird how unsubsidized consumer goods like TVs, appliances, clothes, all get cheaper and cheaper…while anything government puts its hands on, healthcare, housing, food, tuition, cars, utilities…just gets more and more unaffordable?
Oh well. Probably nothing.
It's insane that we tolerate a program like Section 8, which robs taxpayers to pay lifetime rent for people who just decide they don't feel like working.
And Republicans just voted to expand it.
Mid-30s indian with $2.1 million net worth after over a decade in the US is now planning early retirement… back in Hyderabad.
Glad he’s going home, but this is exactly what we mean when we say our birthright is being sold. This belonged to an American.
It makes me sad that thrift stores, Wal-Marts, Home Goods stores, and state parks that I visit during weekdays are full of relaxed, cheerful Spanish- and Arabic-speaking immigrants, but I see native born Americans there only on weekends, looking absolutely stressed and exhausted.
Not a day goes by that I am not reminded of a famous study where men and women were forced to play a card game against an opponent.
Their opponent then either cheated and stole money from the subjects; or cooperated and played fairly.
Afterwards, the men and women were strapped into an FMRI, and watched as their prior opponent received a painful electric shock.
For men, the brain produced an empathic response when the honest opponent was shocked. But it produced no empathy, and in fact showed signs of a pleasure when the cheater was shocked. Their empathy was conditional on how the opponent behaved.
But for women… The brain produced an empathic response for both types of opponents. It didn’t matter if they had been cheated by them prior, they wanted to alleviate everyone’s suffering regardless.
This is their greatest asset, it is the feminine divine. It is the reason why a mother’s love is unconditional.
It’s also the reason why you will be stabbed to death in a Walmart parking lot by a borderline retarded Haitian with 73 prior convictions.
Perfectly said. There are no worker shortages in a market economy. Modern immigration is just foreign aid for the third world via remittances and labor subsidies for wealthy corporations.
Without immigration they would have to pay Americans market value which is determined by what the workers are willing to be paid for doing that job. If no one will do the job at that wage, the corporation is required to increase wages until they find an American who says yes.
With immigration, corporations and their lackeys in government can unilaterally decide what the market value is by increasing the number of third world immigrants you have to compete with. So instead of increasing wages to meet American worker requirements, Microsoft can just bring in Vikrum from Hyderabad who will do it for whatever price Microsoft wants.
Immigration is for all practical purposes a tax on American workers and a tax break for corporations. An immigration moratorium would result in Americans getting the biggest raise of their lives.
