a lot of people angry at immigrants do it just for the sake of being racist
The people they are referencing would never actually understand what they are saying. Which Is just sad.
This is a useless position.
Of course the primary issue is greed, but the job of policy makers is to physically limit the manifestations of that greed. If they could legally do it, corporations would buy and use slaves.
If the government is allowing corporations to use immigration to suppress wages - then the fault lies with the government.
All true but note that "government" here refers to the lawmakers, not the president and the executive branch. Media positions "government" as the president only when all these policies are enacted by lawmakers.
As a business owner , I hate when people start to use common sense.
This is true, but as long as those capitalists keep doing this, and doing this busts unions and brings in workers who can't vote and can easily be deported for not working hard enough (re: be exploited) it's not insane to oppose immigration to certain sectors of work.
It's similar to opposing outsourcing. It doesn't mean you're racist, it means you know what it'll do to depower labor organization movements. People forget that the reasons Immigrants aren't "taking ur jobs" now is because they already took those jobs in the past, killing many unions along the way.
Many dirty jobs that non-union immigrants are doing now used to be done by unionized white working class types previously. I watched a documentary about meat plant workers on strike for instance (I think that union worked for Hormel) who were striking for healthcare. What happened? They all got fired and replaced by imported Mexican workers.
The Union? Easy to guess what happened.
Many jobs are moved to countries that pay pennies for wages and have horrible labor regulations. Some also with slave labor. It really has nothing to do with immigrants.
Its still makes me crazy to see people that don’t realize this. UNIONIZE
