why would an employer do that?


It’s always going to be cheaper to flout the law. This isn’t a compelling argument.

Based on what?


Equilibrium.

Balancing wages and workers.

the economy in Juneau is pretty self regulating.

So why are you advocating for cheap illegal labor?

Business is never going to forego passing costs to consumers. Taffirs and production costs arent going to come out of profit, like he (and the progressives) believe.

so immigration numbers in the 1800's were the perfect amount and is the correct number for all of eternity? There are no other factors that would affect the amount of immigrants needed?



c'mon Rog, stick to posted pretty pictures of glaciers. Which btw, I haven't seen any of on the OB lately.

So your assessment is, that all workers in construction are illegals?

I never said that. I just countered your ignorant statement about how this country was built.

They are a drain on our resources and are undercutting our wages of American workers.

I only ask if those in big construction firms have discussed the contingency of losing some of those people in the short term and how they accommodate projects.

you have zero fricking clue what you're talking about

A lot of the legit constructions services use seasonal workers that have a work visa and come for 3-6 months during the busy building season and then return home for a few months before coming back.

You clearly indicated that America was built by people who were natives here, which is an obvious mistruth

All we need to do is demand that the welfare roles be trimmed to actual need - and to explicitly exclude ANY able bodied, healthy, adult from collecting ONE DIME of 'welfare $" - they can either find a job or find a friend to support them - or starve. Take the trash off the streets by employing the ones causing the trash.



Came here to say this. End the gravy train for the lazy arse porch sitters and corner block pants saggers and tell them “you don’t work, you don’t eat”

Immigration under biden was similar to immigration numbers in the 1800s.

They are going back. You will have to get off your lazy fricking arse and do something for yoursrelf.

In the 1800s we were the Great Melting Pot. People came here, learned the language, and assimilated.

frick this "we need to learn Spanish and assilimite to the culture of every vermin that can drag themselves across the border."

Can't speak English? Pick lettuce. Kid can't speak English? Take the little bastard to work with you so they can learn to pick.


We are tired of you mealy-mouths making excuses for illegals. That is why Trump will be your POTUS again.

ITT I learned that Roger is pro-illegal invaders entering the country so we have cheap labor. The exact same talking point as liberals.
