People refusing to do a job at a specific price/salary is the primary market mechanism for wages to increase.

Labor is a competitive market just like any other. There's supply and demand that drives pricing.

The common refrain about illegals doing the jobs Americans won't is just an about way of saying they are gleely importing desperate people who will aggressively underbid you in the labor market.

The market will adjust. It always will. Illegals are a net negative to our economy regardless. They’re devastating to our healthcare system and welfare system

This is what the new minister of the UK blamed all the immigration on. He said the corporations were behind it because they want cheap labor.

Who are they going to sell their expensive products to if everyone's on peasant wages?

solution (assuming a real claim, which it is not):

1. Workfare
2. Homlessfare

He's absolutely right The corporations and the elites have driven this because they know the illegals are not going to be competing for their job. Illegal immigrants benefit the wealthy and powerful and hurt the middle and lower classes the most

Abolish welfare for the able bodied and those free loaders can do the jobs the deported illegals had been doing.

Whenever I hear this from someone, I fell the urge to take a Blu Ray box set of Dirty Jobs w/ Mike Rowe and shove it in their mouth.

Is that the excuse they were using when they had a certain group of people picking cotton for free? Democrats have never and will never change their spots.

Left wing Reddit's entire business model is based on convincing 10,000 dumb left wingers to work for free moderating in every subreddit 40+ hours a week. They do it because they're convinced they're "getting" the baddies and they get a dopamine hit from it, but in reality they're making the investors laugh at their limitless free labor.

Cut off public benefits for those who are able to work. They will take the available jobs when they get hungry

The elite/wealthy save tons of money and they justify it by saying “we have a fiduciary responsibility to our stakeholders.”

Globalists understand that a 10% share of a global market is better than a 50% share of the local market.

It's estimated over 10 million able bodied Americans between 20-55 are not working, now add in another 5 million who are on disability who could be working but are not......most are collecting government entitlements to subsist.

That's ^^^^ hundreds of billions of US taxpayer dollars.....now add in the millions of non US citizens who are receiving government benefits and you can understand how a nation racks up $37 trillion of debt.
