Right. What happened to "they're taking our jobs"?


An American across the street who was born here can also take our jobs. Nobody is advocating that all competition for jobs be eliminated. However, we can control the workforce supply by having a say over how many additional people we allow into the workforce.

That is what a functional immigration system should do. You don't seem to understand or care to differentiate the difference between legal and illegal additions to the workforce.

fake, point is fake.

The Disney folks and those lib biased businesses be taking real paying jobs to give to immigrant visa workers. Some give them to illegals from what is heard of Starbuckers.

While I agree that we should invent a machine to pick tomatoes and what not and cheap labor stifles this process, we can't just let the tomatoes rot on the vine

Bottleneck the availability of cheap labor over time and private industry will come up with a less labor intensive method of farming

...legal, temporary/seasonal workers on H2B visas to combat the hole left by illegal workers being sent back.

Jesus you are the worst poster on this board.

Make welfare sponges do this work is next year's agenda. Gotta have someone pick the lettuce in the meantime.

Which part of that pertains to legal immigrants taking jobs in the US?

Trump supporters have been calling for immigrants to come in legally. This sounds like a total win for Trump and keeping his promises.

Ah, so cute. You think temporary farm workers and hotel employees are what he was talking about.

Damn, you are so frantic that it's making you completely insane. Poor Capt A want.

So, if he stops people from coming into the country, he's bad.
If he lets people come into the country, he's bad.
If he lets some people come into the country but not other people, he's bad.

You got all your bases covered, a want.

What a want is most concerned about is these temporary workers not being able to remain in the US and vote in our elections.

Hate to break it to you Cochise, but the average fatass American worker isn't picking fruit in 100 degree weather for minimum wage. These guys will come in and bust their arse and work legally.

It still blows my mind this far out from the campaign that somehow dem progs are still having such a hard time wrapping their heads around this. It's not that difficult of a concept.
