That’s a lot of people. His base won’t like it.

Not necessarily.

It could be Johnson's we will get those n!ggers voting for us for 100 years moment except for Latinos.

Latinos should be a more natural fit for Republicans than democrats anyway. Most of them a very hard working and they are religious.

That said it would be OK to do the deal as long as the WALL is built chain migration is ended and the visa lottery program is changed to merit based

I think it is a good political move for him. bTW, I have zero respect for Trump, but his plan on this one is right.

---

It's a good plan in your opinion? What are the specifics?

quote:

---

Native born Americans won't do the jobs they do. They just won't (it's a fact).

This is an old and patently false narrative and it drags the American worker's name through the mud.

Center for Immigration Studies

This analysis tests the often-made argument that immigrants do only jobs Americans don't want. If the argument is correct, there should be occupations comprised entirely or almost entirely of immigrants (legal and illegal). But Census Bureau data collected from 2009 to 2011, which allows for detailed analysis of all 472 separate occupations, shows that there were only a handful of majority-immigrant occupations. Thus, there really are no jobs that Americans won't do. Further, we estimated the share of occupations that are comprised of illegal immigrants, and found that there are no occupations in which the majority of workers are illegally in the country.

quote:

---

Of the 472 civilian occupations, only six are majority immigrant (legal and illegal). These six occupations account for 1 percent of the total U.S. workforce. Moreover, native-born Americans still comprise 46 percent of workers even in these occupations.

---

quote:

---

Many jobs often thought to be overwhelmingly immigrant (legal and illegal) are in fact majority native-born:

---

quote:

---

Maids and housekeepers: 51 percent native-born

Taxi drivers and chauffeurs: 58 percent native-born

Butchers and meat processors: 63 percent native-born

Grounds maintenance workers: 64 percent native-born

Construction laborers: 66 percent native-born

Porters, bellhops, and concierges: 72 percent native-born

Janitors: 73 percent native-born

---

quote:

---

There are 67 occupations in which 25 percent or more of workers are immigrants (legal and illegal). In these high-immigrant occupations, there are still 16.5 million natives — accounting for one out of eight natives in the labor force.

---

quote:

---

High-immigrant occupations (25 percent or more immigrant) are primarily, but not exclusively, lower-wage jobs that require relatively little formal education.

---

quote:

---

In high-immigrant occupations, 59 percent of the natives have no education beyond high school, compared to 31 percent of the rest of the labor force.

Shove that argument up your arse.

Americans won’t work those jobs because they don’t pay shite. Rest assured, if shoveling shite paid $90,000 a year, Americans would be shoveling shite.

As a legal immigrant who has a green card but not a citizen yet, I hate this. We had to wait 15-20 years to become citizens WHILE also paying income taxes through all those years AND shelling out thousands of dollars for visas and work permits. We followed all the rules but these rule breakers are allowed to get a pass?

frick this!

I'm honestly shocked. This has got to be 1000D chess. No way he's gonna piss off this many people. #noamnesty

Keep at it, it's gonna pay off one day.
