Congress grills Pete Hegseth

[Robert W]

The sure do help the country. They work millions of jobs that would be nearly impossible to staff without them.

Deport them all and we'd have a serious economic contraction. Lots of businesses would fail, and with them a lot of middle class jobs would as well. This would result in a spike in inflation.

It's a very bad idea.

I think it is safe to say you have personally hired maybe hundreds of them so you know very well that they are victims of your hiring practice.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Wow, Mazie Hirono’s line of questioning to Pete Hegseth seems to go off the rails a bit.

 

[Mac-7]

And, "Every general in the Pentagon" progressed through the ranks, gaining experience over ever increasing sizes of diverse commands, levels of command, military schools to train them on operations at those levels, etc. Hegseth kept mentioning the military, specifically placement and advancement based on merit and meritocracy. To me he hasn't had his ticket punched for requisite experience based on merit. He is kind of like a "Woke" gaining placement, due to being a member of a subgroup in favor at the moment, rather than best man for the job. He is being put forth, based on MAGA, not proven expertise, experience and competence at ever-increasing levels of command experience.

Bob he told me, as you know, "I am a foreman on a construction crew. I do not want to hire illegals." But firms have hired them. Just as Marener loves. They are forcing my crews to be laid off. As Marener loves so much.

Hiring illegals is necessary. There just aren't enough low skill hard working Americans to fill those jobs.

Get rid of all the illegals, and all of a sudden Jesus can't staff a construction crew anymore. The business folds and Jesus is out of a job.

I come from an area with high penetrance of illegal immigration. I know the jobs they work. I also know that without the influx of illegal immigration, the local economy would be very depressed as the businesses who rely on this labor would not be able to exist.

Why is it that I worked for 10 years in Construction and never once saw an illegal working on our jobs? Do you want part of the cause of unions being harmed? I will say it. Illegal aliens.

I left construction to open my machine shop. I never hired any illegals. Why not?

I became an agent for customers in Real Estate. We had to prove to CA we were legal citizens. I was forced to drive to my place of birth to pick up a birth certificate. Why didn't CA hire illegals to represent clients? Can you name any illegal alien who is a lawyer?

I assume to you hosing chicken cages should be done by illegals. Tell me why my cost of 18 eggs has quadrupled thanks to Biden? Current egg prices for 18 are $8.89. Thank you departing Joe Biden.

I spent much of my life being an employer. I never hired even one illegal. Maybe where you live there are that many Democrats who want cheap labor.

 

[dudmuck]

Whiny bitches gonna whine. Get ready for 48 months of this garbage from the broken libtards of USMB.

 

[OldFlame]

You mean, after 16 years in the House of Representatives, as well as serving as Director of the Office of Management and Budget, a couple of years on White House staff, and a couple of years as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency? No. I did not post him as unqualified. Nobody would. Why would you ask such a silly question?

What command position did he hold?

I have to report about Jesus. Actually I sold him a very lovely tri level home. And thanks to the illegals you love so much, Jesus was foreclosed on and now has to live as a renter. And he and my niece fell into hard times and she later died at a young age.

 

[OldFlame]

Ah, so military command or rank isn't important? Doesn't that negative your opinion of why Hegseth is unqualified?

Hegseth at least has combat experience including leading men in battle. Panetta had none.

And not being a professional politician is a big plus in my opinion.

Yep, now it's 'management', yet Panetta never had any management experience either. Just being a 'lifetime politician' is all they care about.

Many employers can't or won't hire illegals. It's not relevant. The fact remains that they're working millions and millions of jobs in this country.

It's not complicated. You can't eliminate millions and millions of people from the workforce without causing economic disruption.

 

[westwall]

You prefer some desk jockey Liberal over a battlefield tested war veteran to fix the Pentagon. That is the mindset of a Democrat.

More like the mindset of a moron.

 

[westwall]

Hegseth is totally unqualified. DEI for MAGAmorons.

True, but the Generals as a group are not the problem, but the bureaucracy is, as is often the case. But, between the Corps, Divisions, Air Wings/strategic and other wise, the Naval Fleets, Marines, along with the Reserves of each, it is a very complicated, complex organization with huge number of diverse skill sets, missions and functions. I have met good Generals and chair holders. Still, for that position, I would be looking for somebody with diverse higher level management skills and experience, and it would probably be somebody that had experience at higher levels of command.

No, the generals are too. The vast majority are political whores who don't care about their soldiers.

In which organization?

 

[Robert W]

Trump is just as responsible for inflation as Biden, given he signed trillions of spending that flowed directly into people’s pockets.

NANCY PELOSI AND CHUCK SCHUMER EXPLAINS IT ALL.

Say you want to sound smart. How did Biden convert from a wage of a congressman into a man that owns some valuable homes in the East?

How is it Nancy Pelosi owns a mansion in the peaks of San Francisco among the elite and also a large vineyard among the rich in Napa Valley?

But never fear. That is not the only investment of the Pelosi klan.

Please read this disclosure by Pelosi.
