Can we just admit that we NEED immigrants for our economy to run, from agriculture to high tech?
We’re a goddamn nation of immigrants, aren’t we? Let’s be proud of our immigrant heritage!

I kinda wish the left could harness this power.
Bringing forth unwanted children is arguably just cruel. Perhaps have a conversation with some of those for whom it didn't work out so well?
It's sick.
Women tricked by their boyfriends/partners should ... ?
Women using protection that fails to work should ... ?
Women whose health is endangered by the pregnancy/delivery should ... ?

Yea, this includes bigots who think their bigotry is okay because their targets are acceptable.
Perhaps we “should not be judged by the color of [our] skin but by the content of [our] character?”
And, as I just posted, I worked in farm fields with immigrants 50 years ago and realized then how much they contribute.
Yet, Ignorance and fear have ALWAYS been a problem throughout my lifetime!
🙈🙉🙊
So says the old bald white guy.
I spent 16 years without the right to vote even for my local city council, and paid more taxes in the system than many voting americans do in their lives... (and no guarntee to see a penny back).
Most people know nothing about immigration but are quick to judge.
We don’t get better health by disconnecting ourselves from fresh food.
We also don’t need to condone exploitation just to avoid getting dirt under our nails.
We could also say every human is an immigrant to land, since we all have ancestors from the ocean.
That’s a bit much.
We are indeed a nation of immagrents and are the descendants of immagrents. We all just need to get the phuck over ourselves!
This should not be a right left thing
Some times you need more, sometimes less
But the right vilifie to appeal to a base
The left vilifie security concerns to do the same
And you know most favor quicker & LEGAL immigration. Oppose illegal & unvetted.
Twisting earns propaganda rating!
Give me your tired, you're poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teaming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me. I will have the national guard arrest them and send them back.
Resist.
Make it more straightforward to be here legally and your problem is solved without the need for violent deportations.

Mind you, if we handed out EAD's with parole, that ability to support themselves would be a lot easier, since for most we make it illegal for them to work until they can afford the $500+ to get a permit.
In public at work.. the customers would take up for them.. retail establishments would kick you out.. and I’ve lived all over CA.. so it must be cultural? I don’t understand it..
Trump supporters can’t even be bothered encouraging their spawn to take challenging courses in high school.
My ancestors moved in the 18th century from England to Central Europe and moved from Netherlands to Germany through a change of borders.
Please don't try to manufacture consent for what those labor exploiters are wanting to do cheerleading for po' folk.
It's BS. This is him undercutting our labor market because he doesn't want to pay prevailing wages.
Create a generation of uneducated who will do what they're led to do.
Always have, and always will.
But people tend to count asylum seekers as illegal and That's just false.
How about fixing the education system first.
Immigrants will work harder, longer, and for less, without complaint--just to stay.
If you want to slow immigration, you'd be better off voting for leaders who support strong workers rights, and steal Musk's incentive.

When tech folks say, "yep. I ended up training my lower wage H1B replacement" why don't you believe them? 1/

(Too good to be true, I know, but he is literally a criminal AND illegal immigrant)
even more is when immigrants put down other immigrants, like #BernieMoreno, who with no experience in government, but dtrumps full backing, will become Ohio's newest Senator. Sherrod Brown, who worked tirelessly for years for working Americans, lost as an incumbent.
Tax dollars pay for society.
Wealthy Americans don't contribute to society as much as immigrants do.
I guess, they ate all of them, or are permanently not hungry any more - haven't heard of a single dog being eaten since the election night.

That's the story of USA.
Bring in immigrants and exploit them for max profits.
Bring in new immigrants and exploit them for max profits, tell prev immigrants to hate new ones.
Repeat.
I have recruiters for Space X and Tesla reaching out to me a lot. I'm an engineer with 2+ decades of experience in semiconductors. I used to laugh in their faces when they offered me 1/2 the pay rate you would expect. They tell you you'll make up the pay in OT. So they work you to death.
To date, 22 of our 50 states still use the federal standard.

The problem is that the people who can make that happen simply don't.
I have seen it for over 50 years - in jobs - in education - in any money transaction.
As a nation, we MUST END THIS Ignorance in our Republic. We face the Rubicon of our Nation's future...
God, you leftists are braindead.
Full-stop.
ENOUGH
Please ... no one owned what is now the United States of America and tribes were killing each other long before we showed up, colonized a territory, and created the best country on earth.
FACTS
White men making maps and drawing borders on land already occupied doesn't magically mean nothing existed before that.
I don't typically use Wikipedia for sources, but Google doesn't have much since they tend to return left-wing sources. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Indian_massacres_in_North_America
The Powhatan tribes attacked English colonists in the Virginia colony, killing around 400 colonists and taking 20 women captive. The Powhatan also destroyed crops and livestock, which led to 500 more deaths from starvation.
Look at the entire history of The British Empire.
It was so far reaching that there is a support group for their ex-colonies called The Commonwealth of Nations.
Drove the point home.

Me: Well, that is evident.
This will be a very bad day for her. Esp since she know I expected much more from her than MAGA.
Their arguments are clearly from an uneducated place, speaking without any actual knowledge.
But in their defense, Mass deportation is what they promised them. They knew what they were pandering to
Also, E & VR refer to them in the same racist way they talk about brown people 🤷🏻♀️
It could not get any more racist
It’s another thing entirely to have our own people not getting jobs because we didn’t invest in them.
P.S. I am otherwise on your side in all things!
Democracy cannot exist if all men are not equal under the law. 3/3
How much immigration is enough? Do we need to be #1?
I think we have carried our share of the world's burden here.
#3... America is #3.
Calling for more is retarded.
The plan is to transfer land, businesses and money. This was a letter distributed to people in Oregon.
Its happening again.
If every American had, at least, a 4 year degree, including humanities, we would have fewer bigots and immigration would be understood as a good thing.
don’t you understand how tough it is for ultra rich 🤑 to fill the void in their hearts 🥰 &souls & corrupt greedy minds?
don’t be advocating for anything other that more inequality.
for the folkers without the sarcasm font installed 💞❤️🔥💞

literally a wedge between american workers in america and non-americans working in america.
That should be obvious. no animosity though I married an immigrant. but my spouse's life and family was somewhere else until we married.
Republicans. We have to have them to harvest our crops, work in our huge dairies and our slaughterhouses! Otherwise, we’ll be dependent on Japan
for all our food and milk needs 😫
Let’s insist that immigrants - like all who contribute to our economy - deserve fair wages, safe working conditions, the right to organize, stability, security, & respect.
It’s all really quite simple.
It is being America, a refuge from the fear, hate, and greed that run the world. The day we stop being a nation of, by, and for immigrants, we stop being America.
Every single human being should have the unassailable and unhindered right to travel, live, and work wherever the hell they want to.
"This planet is my planet, this planet is your planet..."
Even with Reagan it was what was best for the donor class.
There may be intersections where both are benefited but it’s very clear our immigration policy serves the oligarchy not the country
Wanting better is good
Democrats lied; people died.
But admittedly, his rhetoric was pretty bad and our version of Jones was being shitty.
