You might fool democrat drones with that qualification but when you had to write "needless" you granted my statement. Writing "needless" turns your argument to garbage. Democrats have been fighting to lower wages via massive immigration for a decade or two. Democrats once believed in protecting US jobs. By the way I support voluntary non govt worker unions. 2. In terms of outsourcing. Wall Street and our Bankers helped China rig the game. Did Obama stand up to them? No he put them in his cabinet. Obama and Hillary and the cronies were supporting TPP which would have been a jobs disaster like NAFTA. Many Democrats are still supporting NAFTA and anti Trump. I could go on and on. But the Bankers and Silicone Valley own the Democrat leadership and they lead the way on outsourcing.
I'm not willing to destroy the country just so you can have a cheap nanny or to give corrupt dem pols a better shot at keeping their jobs. The idea that allowing in vast numbers of unskilled people who are big users of welfare programs and who create massive external costs, eg schools, cops, prisons, somehow helps us financially is delusional. Even then it makes no sense. You have to believe our new brown skinned masters will continue to fund social programs for the elderly white legacy population. Sucker bet if I've ever seen one.
I like that you are trying to think and not just parroting, like many of your colleagues here. What do you suppose is the rate limiting step to creating jobs. Is it the level of taxes, or something else? In other words, if we lowered taxes would it have a significant affect on the number of jobs? Or said another way are there not enough good jobs because taxes are too high.
It may be that democrats have opposed tightening up requirements for legal immigration. But it might not have to do with fighting to lower wages. Who has the greatest interest in keeping wages low? I have a good friend. He is a well known economist. When he was in grade school his grandmother told him "America was built on cheap labor". His grandmother was right! One day a visitor came to his class. The visitor told the students about how the country was built on the principles of fair play, freedom of expression, and equality under the law. At the end of the visitor's presentation, the Teacher said to the class, "Now class, what were the guiding principles that America was built on?" My friend waved his hand vigorously and said 'I know. I know." The teacher called on him, "so Joseph, what principle was our country founded on?" Joseph offered his answer: "Cheap Labor." I have to say, everything i have learned in my long life suggests that young Joseph was right!
A new recording obtained by CBS News seems to back up Omarosa Manigault-Newman’s story in her new book, Unhinged, that several Trump campaign advisers discussed an alleged tape which had Donald Trump saying the N-word during the 2016 presidential campaign. Trump campaign advisers denied yesterday that any conversations took place but the new recording “appears to confirm Omarosa’s claims that Trump campaign officials were aware of a tape in which then-candidate Trump uses a racial slur, and they talked about how to handle it.” So how is this gonna affect his sky high approval ratings?
You could go on, I’m sure, but what are you really saying? You are making arguments from 10,000 feet in the air that don’t mean anything at the ground level. I try to honestly approach topics and a truth about outsourcing is that some of it is needed. If you don’t understand that you haven’t spent much time looking into the issue. Like I said, you’re new to supporting these issues so I understand your approach is broad general strokes but you lack the finer detailed understanding. I encourage you to be against outsourcing because it is by and large harmful to Americans and hope you learn more about it but you chastising me on it is totally missing the mark. I truly oppose outsourcing, you I’m not sure about. I’m thinking you’re just arguing to be against a “lefty”.
Off the mark. Immigration is a large number and the law of large numbers applies. There will be some nannies and some engineers and small business owners along with every other type of trade in the immigration numbers. Immigration does not destroy our country, it makes it stronger. Again, you have not addressed the birth rate issue or the social programs issue.
