Ya badge but our government is more concerned with funding other countries problems of course as individuals they're robbing the till that was meant for Americans,sadly and shamefully
What I find really sad is how eager people like
@MaximumSam are to screw over the less fortunate for their own benefit.
One of the few things that I agree with
@OrangeAfroMan on is that the population of this board is pretty darn well off. Nearly all of us have college degrees. Beyond that we seem to have an unusually high percentage of people with either:
- Tough/high paying degrees such as engineering, or
- Grad degrees (We have at least half a dozen lawyers here).
For most of us mass immivasion is a short-term benefit. The immivaders are mostly unskilled laborers and as near as I can tell nobody on here is selling unskilled labor. Near as I can tell everyone here is either retired or selling highly skilled labor as accountants, lawyers, engineers, teachers, etc.
Most of the immivaders aren't competing for our jobs because we aren't importing many with our skills. So on the supply side it is a non-issue for us.
On the demand side we are all buyers of unskilled labor either directly or indirectly. Even if we don't have nannies, we travel and stay in hotels that hire unskilled laborers.
@betarhoalphadelta has a landscaper that may or may not be a legal or illegal immigrant (it doesn't matter). We all purchase unskilled labor indirectly every day.
On the demand side we benefit because the price of the unskilled labor that we directly or indirectly purchase is pushed down by the massive oversupply.
What some people here fail to realize is that while we aren't (or at least most of us aren't, maybe
@Cincydawg and
@847badgerfan ) members of the 1% we are substantially above average. The average American doesn't have a college degree let alone an engineering degree or a graduate degree. They are struggling to get by on dramatically less income than we enjoy and our government is making their lives infinitely tougher by importing hordes of competitors for their jobs and for the government benefits that they receive.
I don't think there has ever been an issue where the elites were more diametrically opposed to the wishes and the best interests of the masses. Increased immigration doesn't even enjoy majority support among democrats and at this point you'd be hard pressed to find a non-Billionaire Republican who supports it and yet the elites keep on pushing it.
Dave Brat's defeat of Eric Cantor back in 2014 is the only thing that saved our country from the Amnesty that the uniparty had planned.
Unlike
@MaximumSam , the people by-and-large are NOT fooled by the incessant pro-immigration propaganda. Trump is a symptom of this. The Republican electorate rebelled against the Republican leadership, tossed HoR Majority Leader Eric Cantor out of office, and balked at something like two dozen "establishment" (read pro immigration) Candidates in the 2016 Primary to select the ONLY immigration restrictionist candidate in the race.
If the Republican leadership had listened to and advocated for their voters instead of their donors, Trump would have been DOA as a prior Democrat from NYC. Instead, they clung to the interests of their donors and that is what got us here.
In the long run the mass immivasion is a disaster for all of us, not just the less fortunate because we are importing net tax users and you can't make that up on volume. Every one of them makes our nation poorer.
