It's time to arrest the employers

[Correll]

So far thumbs down. From my experience personally, he's already hurt me. We are doing free trade with other countries. Now we're not? He's fucking up the flow of business.

Remember he didn't tell us how serious covid was because he didn't want to disturb his good economy? Now he doesn't care. This isn't going to be good for workers. Illegals or legals will continue to flow in because THEY need them. Let me know when you benefit from this. Right now, I've been hurt. Personally.

The flow of illegals are down more than 90%.

That alone will help labor.

Combine it with large scale deportations, including self deportations, and labor is going to have more leverage over management and employers.

If tarrifs lead to any nearshoring,....


This could be great for the American worker(s).


If it is, will you admit it, or will you push the talking points that the dems gin up to explain away or deflect from the good numbers?

Finally you are agreeing with us liberals? We've been saying that since the Bush years.

Reclaiming the Issues: "It's an Illegal Employer Problem"

Every time the media - or a Democrat - uses the phrase "Illegal Immigration" they are promoting one of Karl Rove's most potent Republican Party frames.

I'm glad you are coming around now that you are in charge.

Clinton was doing his job. Bush stopped. ON PURPOSE. Because the illegal employers asked him to stop enforcing the laws.

"Between 1999 and 2003, work-site enforcement operations were scaled back 95 percent by the Immigration and Naturalization Service, which subsequently was merged into the Homeland Security Department. The number of employers prosecuted for unlawfully employing immigrants dropped from 182 in 1999 to four in 2003, and fines collected declined from $3.6 million to $212,000, according to federal statistics.

"In 1999, the United States initiated fines against 417 companies. In 2004, it issued fine notices to three."

I'm fine with arresting employers as long as we arrest officials implementing sanctuary cities policies 1st.

Let me simplify it.

The fifth largest employer in Mexico recruits workers in this country.

By the millions I suppose.

By the quite a few, at least.

The American Drug Mules Smuggling Fentanyl Into the U.S.

Mexican drug cartels are turning thousands of Americans into fentanyl smugglers, sending an army of couriers who can easily cross between both countries.

American teens are getting arrested for smuggling migrants

"We're dealing with a virtual community which is almost infinite," a Homeland Security special agent told Newsweek about social media's role in recruiting teens.

Teenagers are particularly susceptible to offers of employment.

I guess if making it in and buying American is ultimately better for workers I'll admit it. Right now this nonsense is just hurting me. My Mexican partner is cancelling orders. His words when I asked if Trump is the reason he cancelled the order "I guess is part of the same, new rules, we need play the game"

I think global free trade is a good thing. How about you? Or do you want to stop all that and only make and buy in America? Cause that's fucked up. You guys sold us on NAFTA. You fucked us. Now you're gonna fuck us going back?

Who's this really going to benefit?

Remember, blue collar wages already went up as much as they wanted them to go. It was causing inflation. To fix inflation, and slow wage growth, the feds raised interest rates. So I don't think supply and demand is going to raise wages.

Interesting. Did you see in 2024 unions won big for blue collar? Why aren't you cheering for unions? It takes organizing and getting a seat at the table to demand raises. Don't expect supply and demand to do it. Unemployment was really really low under Biden. Illegals or not. So why didn't wages go up?

So unions are why blue collar wages went up in 2024. Show me kicking illegals out is going to raise blue collar wages.

How low do you think unemployment is going to go?

Trump is going to start letting more legal immigrants in. Problem solved.

Here is your starting point Jan 2025

Median weekly earnings of the nation's 120.3 million full-time wage and salary workers were $1,192 in the fourth quarter of 2024 (not seasonally adjusted), the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. $62,000 a year. Show me when Trump brings the median up. Not the average. The rich bring that number way up.

From 2019 to 2022, the median net worth of American families jumped 37% to $192,900, after adjusting for inflation. It’s the largest increase ever recorded by the federal Survey of Consumer Finances, released last fall. Surging home values and rising stock ownership fed the surge.

A month into his presidency the economy is not a clear strength for Trump. Five polls released over the past two days ― from CNN, Quinnipiac, the Washington Post, Reuters and Gallup ― show signs of simmering discontent. All five surveys indicate that Trump is underwater in his handling of the economy, which is the core of his political strength.

At the root of the problem is a belief that Trump is doing little to lower prices, which many Americans believe are simply too high. In CNN’s survey, 62% of Americans say Trump has not done enough to lower prices. In a Reuters poll, just 32% approved of Trump’s handling of inflation. In the Post’s poll, only 7% of Americans said grocery prices were “excellent” or “good,” while an incredible 92% said they were “not so good” or “poor.”

Please don't start making excuses. Last year you didn't want to hear excuses. Whatever you are going to say, imagine me saying that to you last year.

I told you idiots the economy was great. The only ones hurting were blue collar. And any of them who were in unions, got themselves raises the last 4 years. Big raises. Thanks to the support of Biden.

Perhaps the rest of them need to organize?

You want to know the truth? I am now a Republican. And we know Trump ain't gonna raise labors wages. You're fooling yourself if you think wack a mole is going to fix anything.

How many illegals are still here working hard? A lot. Let's go after them. We know who they work for.

/----/ "Finally you are agreeing with us liberals? We've been saying that since the Bush years."
We've agreed with this since day one. Every business is forced to hire cheap illegals. It's the only way they can compete. All it takes is on the contractor to hire illegals and undercut the competition, then all follow suit to stay in business.
It doesn't make it right, but that's the reality.

I see a difference between how our libturds try to frame the issue and how it should be honestly framed.

We have long agreed that it would help to sanction employers who break the law intentionally hiring illegal aliens. But …

our libturds seek to sanction ONLY the employers who do that.

We, by contrast, recognize that the main problem should get greater attention: the illegal aliens, themselves.
