You’ve made no cohesive argument.

...except it depresses wages and -wait for it - the blue collar class are the ones who suffer as a result.

Big Corporations get their cheap labor, Democrats get their votes, Joe factory worker gets the shaft.

There were more Vietnamese than that post the war, and guess what the Vietnamese know? Fishing. Probably something an northeastern lawyer doesn’t even realize when he encourages Washington to dump a bunch of Vietnamese in a part of the country that has a mature fishing industry.

That's not how refugee settlement works

It isn't some lone northeastern lawyer calling all the shots

As far as I know there are 9 different non governmental agencies that assist with resettlement of refugees. Do they have some attorneys working for them? Of course. Are they all in the northeast? Probably not.

I'm sure it was no accident that many Vietnamese were placed in areas where there would be opportunities to fish. It wasn't some coincidental accident like you seem to be implying.

You're not going to get an apology from me unless it's sincere. At this point I have no reason to apologize. When I do you'll receive one.

It has the possibility of doing so. But it can also fill labor shortages.

Joe factory worker should work harder so they don't need people from the 3rd world to pick up his slack

I'm not sure that you're aware of this but some refugees are now both U.S. Citizens and tax payers. You want to deport them as well moron?

You...you realize "work harder" is not a solution for a refugee taking your job at 1/3 of the price, right?

Importing cheap labor displaces those with low skills, regardless of their willingness to work. Has nothing to do with work ethic, it's simple economics.

I repeat:
Big Corporations get their cheap labor, Democrats get their votes, Joe factory worker gets the shaft. It really is that simple.

I agree with that

I'm not suggesting we open up the floodgates

I'm suggesting we don't freak out about 200 people coming to a state of over 4 million people on an annual basis

It's not just affecting low skilled jobs either. Technical and other skilled jobs are being affected as well. They're willing to work at lower wages depressing the market.

It's funny that democrats support this while bitching about how CEO pay is forty billion times a regular workers pay. You can't have both.

Another thing that you can't have both ways:

Refugees are free loaders

Refugees are taking our jobs and depressing wages

Can't be both

Again. I have provided a link that states that refugee employment is higher than native born employment
maybe native born employment would be higher if refugees didn’t steal and undercut their jobs

Or maybe a lot of native born people have lived too comfortable of a life and get lazy?

Of course it can. Why would you be so stupid to think only one can be true?

I have met people who both work and get government handouts.

It’s interesting you are so naive or just ignorant.

On an individual basis sure

But in aggregate you can't claim that they're some huge drag on resources if they're employed at a higher rate than native born citizens

So big picture you can't have both negative arguments. It doesn't add up.

Basically you believe in unchecked immigration. It doesn't matter if the people coming in here are skilled or not and it doesn't matter if it effects unskilled workers or skilled workers. You only care if they'll vote democrat. There's a reason why we have laws on this. You don't give a shite because as long as we keep importing people who won't assimilate and learn our culture, balkanize the nation, and basically become a voting block for Democrats.

But hey, as long as your white guilt is suppressed for supporting this bullshite, why not? Right?

Again, maybe you should shut up and color because you don't have a good understanding on why having a carte blance immigration policy doens't work.

eta: By the way, I'm a grandson of immigrants. They came from German speaking parts of Europe. Experienced discrimination during two World wars but learned English and assimilated to American culture.

Your arrogance is your ignorance & failure.
How many precious refugees have you taken in?
Paid their medical, school, housing, insurance, food, clothing, power, cable bills?
Liberal "compassion" is bull s h I t.
So go find a MS-13 dude who's been raping girls from el
Salvador to the US, while moving drugs across the border then kills a family while driving drunk.
Such nice people; when do you start paying to support the illegal aliens?
Take him in or stfu.
What a poser. Start a thread
to ridicule the people of Louisiana.
You don't want discussions or debate or conversation.
You just wanted to repeat "free loaders" in LA shite.
Well....fukk you.

More stupidity.

Of course they can, as long as there are at least 2 refugees.
