And there it is. Fox News.

If it pisses you off?

No. It makes me feel sad for you, actually.

No. It makes me feel sad for you, actually.

If a lib is sad.

I'm glad.

It seems as though much of America is glad as well.

 

[YoursTruly]

This riot is boring.

If a lib is sad.

First of all, I'm an old school conservative Never Trumper.

Try to get that straight in your pointy head.

You would not know an actual conservative principle if it kicked you in the balls.

Just the fact you are a Trump cult member, and unable to articulate a cogent thought beyond ten words, proves this.

What has to go is the seriously broken immigration quota system we have.

Our economy is heavily dependent on immigrant labor and our quota system does not come close to meeting the labor demand.

We have full employment and there are still over 7 million job openings in the US right now.

Farmers and the construction industry have no choice but to hire illegals.

THAT is what needs to be fixed.

You want to toss out violent illegals? Fine. No one is against that.

But when asylum seekers attempted to do things the right way and file their petitions for asylum in New York, ICE bushwhacked them as they left the courthouse.

ICE ICE Barbie is putting on a show for the bigoted herd.

This is all a big show because Trump doesn't know how to fix things, just break them.

If we have 7 million openings, why do we still have so many on welfare claiming they can’t find work?

Kick the illegals out, require work of any able-bodied adult in order to receive ANY welfare, and watch the jobs get filled.

I hope you are able to absorb information longer than a tweet. Your propagandists rely on you having the intellectual bandwidth of a bumper sticker.



After years of underbuilding, the country faces a housing shortage estimated at 3.7 million units, pushing home prices and rents to record highs. But one of the biggest obstacles to building more housing is a shortage of construction workers, which is slowing down projects and driving up labor costs.

[snip]

Immigrant workers have been essential in filling this gap. According to our analysis, immigrants made up more than 23 percent of the construction workforce in 2023. It’s estimated that about half of them are undocumented immigrants. The Trump administration’s proposed mass deportation of undocumented immigrants would worsen the worker shortage—deepening the housing crisis and undermining the administration’s goals to “lower the cost of housing and expand housing supply.”

[snip]

New evidence that stricter immigration enforcement reduces housing construction is emerging. During Trump’s first term, the Secure Communities program, which implemented stricter immigration enforcement, led to lasting declines in construction labor and homebuilding and rising home prices, according to one study. The researchers also found that undocumented workers complement rather than substitute for US-born workers, so deportations led to net job losses for US-born workers.

Mass Deportations Would Worsen Our Housing Crisis

Mass deportations would reduce the construction labor force, which is highly dependent on immigrant workers, exacerbating the US housing crisis—but some stat…

Immigrant farmworkers make up an estimated 73% of agriculture workers in the United States. Farm labor is absolutely essential work that puts food on our tables across the country, powers the economy and supports our communities, from dairy farms in Wisconsin to strawberry fields in Florida and apple orchards in Washington. All together, food and agriculture sector is a $1.053 trillion industry.

[snip]

The American Farm Bureau Federation estimates that, in total, U.S. agriculture needs 1.5 to 2 million hired workers each year. Farmers have been struggling to fill these positions; in 2019, 56% of California farmers reported being unable to find all the workers they needed over the last five years.

This is partly because, even when wages and benefits are increased, there are still not enough U.S. citizens applying.


As I keep saying, immigrants do the jobs Americans won't do.



The labor shortage puts American agriculture at a competitive disadvantage. American growers’ inability to find dependable sources of labor is a major reason for the significant increase in the amount of fresh fruit and vegetables that are imported into the U.S, costing billions in sales and tens of thousands of jobs.

[snip]


Undocumented farm workers make up approximately 50% of the farm labor workforce. Without their hard work, millions of pounds of food would otherwise go unharvested. While these workers pay taxes and contribute to the economy, they are not protected by U.S. labor laws, and they live every day under the threat of arrest and family separation – all while working in extremely difficult conditions.

[snip]

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has found that providing legal status to current undocumented workers would have a net positive effect on the federal budget, increasing tax revenues. The CBO has also found that legalizing the undocumented population would boost economic output and increase employment for U.S.-born workers.

Additionally, stabilizing the workforce would help U.S. farmers stay open for business, keepings jobs available for U.S. workers and pushing back on increasing food and production costs driven by the shortages.

Modernizing the temporary visa program, and establishing a pathway to citizenship for long-term undocumented agricultural workers, is urgently needed to protect America’s agriculture industry and farmworkers alike.

Immigrants do the jobs Americans won’t do? (Also, you mean ILLEGAL ALIENS….not immigrants.)

If you stop handing out all sorts of free shit to families where adults aren’t working, all of a sudden you’ll find Americans willing to do the jobs.

 

[g5000]

If we have 7 million openings, why do we still have so many on welfare claiming they can’t find work?

Most of them are working. Probably harder than you are.

Kick the illegals out, require work of any able-bodied adult in order to receive ANY welfare, and watch the jobs get filled.

Again, most able-bodied people are already working.

Including all the millions of Trump voters on Medicaid who are about to find themselves without health insurance so Elon Musk and George Soros can get a tax break.

 

[Zincwarrior]

**** the illegals.

They chose to **** around and now they're finding out.

**** you too... for supporting illegal rampaging aliens.

They're being moved out 'underground' as well.



This is NOT protesting.

So...no loss.

First of all, I'm an old school conservative Never Trumper.

It's not about you and it seems that narcissim runs rampant in your mind.

As long as you see what's happening and that you can't stop the tide because your side has lost the entire narrative.

That's what really matters.

 

[Ropey]

So...no loss.

That's right.

No loss if the illegals get tossed.

 

[Lisa558]

Most of them are working. Probably harder than you are.

First, you have no idea how hard I’ve worked over my career. And second, there should be NO adults on welfare who refuse to work. There are millions.

Again, most able-bodied people are already working.

And millions are not.

Including all the millions of Trump voters on Medicaid who are about to find themselves without health insurance so Elon Musk and George Soros can get a tax break.

How are they going to be without Medicaid? The cuts are for illegals aliens and welfare leeches who won’t get a job. Responsible, law-abiding Americans will not be impacted.

Yep, the National Guard is really busy......more like wondering why the **** are they in LA. --

I had to do something like that when I was a young airman and one or a couple of the senior guys egged me on to get upset about it.

How is there “no loss” when thugs loot an APPLE store?

Please provide a cite for that claim.

Boy, are you in for a surprise.

YOU made the opposite claim. Provide a cite.

Boy, are you in for a surprise.

How am I in for a surprise? I am not an illegal alien, nor am I a working-age adult who depends on Medicaid yet refuse to get a job.

it was a joke.

I thought the New Right wants women to stay home and take care of their children? Do they, or not?


A recent BPC-Artemis Strategy Group poll found that personal health and caregiving responsibilities are significant barriers to work for prime-age adults, with 72% of prime-age adults who are out of the labor force citing one of these as the main reason they are not working.


[snip]


It is unsurprising that family caregiving is such an important barrier for prime-age adults not looking for work when 59%—an estimated 12 million people—are legal guardians of at least one child. This compares to just 41% of those who are looking for work.

It is also striking that 66% of prime-age adults not looking for work—an estimated 14 million people—are female. In contrast, females make up only 38% of those prime-age adults actively looking for work. This disparity suggests that there are systemic or situational barriers preventing women from seeking employment.

[snip]


Thirty-seven percent of those not currently looking for work—or roughly 8 million people—do not plan to ever enter or return to the workforce. For these individuals, personal illness, injury, or disability was the most common factor contributing to their non-working status, with 63% citing this.

Why Are Prime-Age Adults Opting Out of Work?

At a time when the U.S. is struggling with labor shortages, nearly 20% of prime-age adults are not working. The vast majority of these people are not even looking for work and are therefore “out of the labor force.”
