The politics of migrants, jobs, the economy and how the media reports it

[Foxfyre]

The current administration and Joe Biden are putting out glowing reports of lower inflation, record job creation, booming economy and how Trump's economy crashed and he was the first President to lose jobs in a very long time. Their surrogate MSM and other entities are more than happy to report it just that way.

And what if it is all mostly a lie?

JOBS: According to recent studies, Americans are losing jobs while most of those lovely new jobs they brag about are going to migrants. Joe's 'record number of jobs created' doesn't look so good when it is non citizens getting them.

Meanwhile ALL of jobs lost in the Trump administration were due to people not being allowed to work due to COVID in 2020. Had that not happened, he would be credited with a damn good record.

INFLATION is coming down, yes, but prices continue to rise. Why? Illustrate it this way:
In 2021 you gain 50 lbs and feel terrible. So you go on a diet.
In 2022 you only gain 25 pounds which is an improvement but you're still 75 lbs heavier than in 2020.
In 2023 you gain 15 lbs so you're doing better but you're still 90 lbs heavier than in 2020.
In 2024 you're edging back up and already gained 10 lbs so you're now 100 lbs heavier than in 2020.
And those paying the bills for their groceries, healthcare, utilities, other necessities feel all 100 lbs.

Inflation under Trump was low and painless despite a great economy.

ECONOMY BOOMING? Not so much with the GDP down to 1.6% and falling. President Trump didn't have the greatest GDP numbers but they were steady, looked as good as anybody's compared to spending, and the effects of his economy were amazing. The American Presidency Project has been evaluating the record of U.S. Presidents for a very long time now:

MEDIA: The MSM refuses to report much if anything good in the Trump Administration and mostly downplays or doesn't report all the bad in the Biden Administration. If we still had a fair, balanced, impartial and competent U.S. media--we haven't for some time now--Biden wouldn't get 5% of the vote in November.

There is no trump administration.

There are plenty of negative stories about the economy currently.

If invaders are taking jobs from Americans, these Americans were invaders last time around. The newly arrived illegals are taking jobs from the low skilled and illiterate who arrived earlier.

Maybe. I don't know. All I know is Biden's claim of stellar job creation is an illusion as apparently so are most of his other claims.

It is probably why big business--almost all leftist now--is so silent on the invasion of migrants. They are hiring these people at rock bottom wages that Americans can't afford to work for.

You would think that would bring down inflation or even reverse it, but while it may be a factor, it isn't helping anybody but migrants.

It is absolutely stunning that almost 2.9 MILLION migrants were hired during the same time that 183,000 Americans lost jobs.

So you think big businesses are all “leftists” now?

Wow.

The conservative movement has really gotten more and more batshit crazy over the last few months.

Biden lies so much he must have an aide that finds lies for him to tell.

Biden lies so much he must have an aide that finds lies for him to tell.

Biden is so out of it he doesn't know what's going on and just parrots what he is told to say. . .(dramatic emphasis) "Four more years pause. . ." He may be cognizant enough to like what he is saying and may even believe it during more lucid times. I don't know.

But for sure the propaganda is nowhere near what the facts are.

One of the Dumbest post of all time.

US born workers are shrinking due to retirement - NOT JOBLOSS. The participation rate in 25-55 is at decades high. Jobs are everywhere as we have 8M unfilled jobs. This post is the most ridiculous nonsense Ive read that didnt come from Gatewaypundit.

I was just about to post this. The OP is using a very dishonest use of statistics.

Without arguing the point, the facts are clear. ALL the job growth that Biden can claim is going to 'immigrants', a large majority of which are non citizens. And that is why most of the jobs 'created' are in low paying, part time or temporary jobs in the hospitality industry (restaurants, hotels, food delivery etc.)

Where did you get your talking points from this morning, liar boi?

The Trump years were completely distorted by 24-7 MSM attacks and the Russian Collusion Hoax. The GOVT scum slow-walked and resisted. Most of "R" in congress sat silent and did not help out. They don't want any outsider crashing the cushy party they have going. Then they finally had to launch China Virus to completely destroy the economy and rig 2020 vote.//

Imagine how good things could be if they had only co-operated with Trump policy.

Again, the simple fact is that if we still had an honest MSM who would accurately report the Trump record against the Biden record, Biden would likely get about 5% of the vote in November. But since they are almost wholly in bed with the Democrats, a huge number of Americans are poorly or wrongly informed.

Utterly untrue. Over the last 12 months the 3 largest growing non-government sectors are Healthcare workers (high wages) Leisure and Hospitality (low wages) and Construction (high wages). What part of 8M jobs with no workers doesn’t register with you?

You saying it’s a lie means nothing to no one. Feel free to link your proof. 100% chance I never hear from you again.

No dumb ass, God yank the Dem kool-aid IV out of your arm. We just lost 1.5 million full time jobs in March. Naturally lying Dems forget to mention that.

Biden's ONLY hope is if the Fake News lies their ass off for him this Nov.

You stupid fucking asshole, try getting a construction job in Los Angeles.

Do it.

Go down to PeopleReady and tell them you're authorized to work in this country, and see what they say.

You should get out of the house more often.

And turn off your lying TV.

I’m not sure what you are trying to say. There are almost half a million job openings in construction.
