Why do ya'll keep saying this? They aren't only going to take janitorial work or field work and their children CERTAINLY won't
We've already had to say bye bye to construction, we're going to say bye bye to a lot of factory and warehouse jobs, say bye bye to a lot of trades
And then on the other front, they are attacking the high paying jobs with H1B visas
Keep believing that Americans are so lazy and unqualified. If all of the talent is overseas and America is so lazy, why aren't they building up their own nations? The reality is people are getting manipulated by businessmen to flood the country with ultra cheap labor.
This is the Democrat response to people going on strike. They'll take desperate people and use them as scabs for the corporations who will refuse to pay domestic workers what they're worth.
Republicans will just support the employers and starve out the employees.
The result as you can see in this thread is going to be anger directed at the people fleeing poverty and violence in their countries instead of the government for failing to protect workers rights and employers who refuse to pay people the wages they deserve and give them the benefits that actually allow them to do their jobs better and stay in the company. The companies will of course continue to hire immigrants whether documented or undocumented and threaten to fire them if they ever complain.
The immigrants are used as a cudgel to tell domestic staff they can and will be replaced while they can be used by Republicans as scapegoats for everything bad and an excuse for why they won't do anything with the tax dollars they get. It's a win-win scenario for both parties because they each use the immigrants as a political tool for their own ends.
Democrats get more cozy with corporate donors as these immigrants are used for cheap labor and to break unions.
Republicans get a scape goat to whip their voters up into a frenzy so they can vote to put more cops on the street and build up the jails.
And the average voter being as smart as a rock won't see the finesse for what it is and direct their anger at the politicians whilst the CEOs enjoy record profits from the immigrants who will need to buy their shyt and the money they'll save from not paying for Healthcare or employee benefits.
