Country Music Star Releases Song That Is A HUGE FU To America

[pknopp]

No they are not, what a ridiculous notion.

If a parent leaves the cookie jar in reach on the counter, and tells the child that they are not to touch the cookie jar, but the child does so anyway, you would advocate that the child not be punished because it's the parent's fault that the cookie jar was within reach to begin with. The blame is not American employers, the blame belongs to the individual that decided to ignore US laws and come into the country illegally. No one is forcing them to make the decision to break the law.

Its sad how you cant be honest.

Illegals can't work here, they have nothing to support them, their crime rates are astronomical, etc etc.

What exactly is the upside

 

[OldFlame]

Its sad how you cant be honest.

You want honesty.

You claim that they are drawn here by American employers that are paying them pennies on the dollar of what they would have to pay American citizens. I know from past discussions that you do not feel that the benefits they receive from state and federal governments are any kind of a lure at all. Your entire premise is based on American employers, yet claim that said employers pay them very little. How are they surviving in the expensive USA while only earning slave wages? Let's see how 'honest' you are.

Yep, you noted that Pnut laughed at that, but he's painted himself into a corner.

Him and his clown clone Mac both do it

So obvious

I never said pennies on the dollar.

Try again.

Country star Zach Bryan teases new song 'Bad News' condemning ICE raids, 'fading' of the red, white and blue​

I never heard of the guy. Seriously, CK, don't let yourself get all caught up in the opinions and antics of all these people out there whether they like or hate Trump, like or hate Charlie, or whatever. It is what it is.

Just focus on the things that are important to YOU and forge ahead.

 

[Blaster]

As if he's telling ICE to go screw themselves that's what he's basically saying to America. If he doesn't like it, why doesn't he move to Mexico?

Bryan is anti-American.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

I'm not sure if you're referring to me or him but I don't even know if he claimed to be a Christian or not and how can I be phony when all I said is that if he doesn't like how things are done in this country he can always leave.


He can go to Mexico or keep Rosie O Donnell or Ellen DeGeneres company in the UK. You know, I have to give these two women credit for one thing. At least they weren't just bullshitting us and actually left unlike most of them.

Rosie is in Ireland. Not UK. There is a difference.

If you don't like something, you don't move, you work to change it.

Unless you want to come to the US illegally, then you pick up and move, all without any money, job, or place to live once you get there.

Business doesn't want that because then they have to pay a legal wage and taxes, etc.

Example 1

Business isn't interested in paying those costs......

Example 2

Business wants them because they work under the table and cheap.

Example 3

In many cases their governments are even more corrupt than ours. In some the standard of living is lower and in others the US activity undermines their economy.

I missed that little gem, another reason why you think they have every right to come here illegally.

Do you even know what employment numbers are in the countries they come from? Mexico is the largest single source of illegal immigrants. Thought they couldn't get jobs there? You know who they're sending, the ones that don't want to work and think they can get a free ride in the US.

Mexico's official employment rate was around 97.1% in August 2025, according to Trading Economics and Trading Economics, representing the proportion of the labor force that is employed. However, Statista notes the unemployment rate was 2.6% in June 2025, indicating a very high employment rate where the workforce is highly engaged.

Key Statistics

• Employment Rate: Approximately 97.1% in August 2025.
• Unemployment Rate: 2.6% in June 2025.

Details & Context

• Highly Engaged Labor Force:
  The high employment rate means that a very large percentage of the economically active population is working.
  
  
• • Downward Trend:
    The unemployment rate has generally been on a downward trend, reaching some of the lowest values since the early 2000s.
  • Recent Decrease:
    The employment rate showed a slight decrease to 97.07% in August 2025 from 97.23% in July 2025.
  • Informal Sector:
    While the official unemployment is low, the labor market in Mexico also sees significant informal employment, which drives down the measured unemployment rate.

Yes, they will work cheaper and business avoids the taxes associated with employment.

So how are they affording to live?

Nothing to say about Mexico's 97.1% employment rate?

Bryan is anti-American.

[Moonglow]

They work hard and long hours.

Sorry, that doesn't cut it. So do lots of other people that are making full wages, and still can't afford the basics.
