The system is working as designed. This is how the system was built to work.
Dude campaigns for rich asshole, rich asshole deports him on principle.
The worker shortage that will be caused by deporting illegal workers will not be filled by the fat lazy Americans who are unemployed. They refuse to do such work because it is beneath them. So we’ll have a massive gap, especially on farms. The farmers will take this to the government, and the farmers will get even more compensation because the government keeps fucking them over. Over and over and over again… At this point, I think farmers qualify as government employees.
I am not a fan of the narrative that Americans are too lazy to take jobs that are being worked by immigrants. It’s just not true. Americans won’t take these jobs because these jobs aren’t going to pay what Americans demand. Not because they’re lazy. These immigrants are being taken advantage of and are being paid way less than they deserve simply because they’re illegal immigrants. Them being deported isn’t going to suddenly make these jobs higher paying positions. The problem is with corporations. Not with immigrants nor with American citizens (well except the fucked up americans that voted for trump).
Exactly. I’m not going to break my back months out of the year working for less than minimum wage. I worked in construction for years, I don’t mind doing manual labor even in the summer heat (And let me tell you it gets fucking hot where I live). I stopped doing it because the pay no longer justified the demands on my body and better opportunities came about. But honestly? Most days were pretty decent. Yeah I was pretty damn tired at the end of the day 4 out of 5 days a week, but i got to work outside doing activities that kept me fit, work ended at 5, and while I worked I listened to the radio with folks who were more than colleagues even if they weren’t my “friends.” Not a bad gig in my late teen years/early 20’s. If it wasn’t quite as physically demanding and had more reasonable compensation I could easily have seen myself doing it into my late 20s at least.

Careful, that’s a step toward socialism
