There are thousands of immigrants in my community,
Are they ILLEGAL immigrants?
If they are, you don't give them jobs, or government services.
Some jobs, particularly those in agriculture, will not get done without immigrants.
California's undocumented workers help the economy grow – but may pay the cost
"Brokaw Ranch Company, in Ventura County, grows hundreds of acres of fruit including avocados, oranges and lemons that end up on tables all across the United States via Sam's Club, Wal-Mart and Costco.
"But before it gets there, it starts here, in leafy groves of trees under the California sun, where crews of workers climb the trees with ladders, cut each piece of fruit by hand and carry it in 80-pound sacks to collection bins.
"It's hard, careful work and, at least on this farm, it's done by immigrants.
"The Ventura County farm bureau
estimates as many as 36,000 field workers bring in the county's crops of citrus, avocado and strawberries in peak harvest season, and that 95 percent of them are foreign-born.
"Ranch owner Ellen Brokaw said immigrant labor is essential to Ventura County's farms."
So, basically we the tax payers are paying the tab, for businesses quest for cheap labor?
Because illegals, and their children cost us a lot more, than they contribute into the system.
So, you know what tell businesses to go F themselves, even the Mexicans are Balkanizing the U.S.A in a hostile way.
This is only beneficial to their mania, nothing more than their greed.
Corporate welfare is costing US taxpayers billions in food stamps and SSI benefits:
There’s a New Way to Make Walmart Pay for the Food Stamps Employees Rely On
"In 2013, Walmart alone
cost taxpayers $6.2 billion for expenses such as food stamps, Medicaid, and housing assistance. One
study released earlier this year estimated that taxpayers spent $152.8 billion in 2015 as a result of low wages."
The big difference I see between US workers at Walmart and farm laborers from Mexico is this: it was deliberate trade/tax policy of the US government (NAFTA) to dispossess millions of Mexican corn farmers who would never have had any incentive to migrate to the US without being forced to compete against US taxpayer subsidized corn.
In both cases, it's a classic example of privatizing profits and socializing costs.
Yes, well while small businesses often can't afford to pay more, Walmart can.
Not here, but elsewhere I've specifically asked a question on a board, why Conservatives blame the worker for going on welfare for his low wages, rather than blaming the company, it seems the worker is more of a victim, in many cases, than anything else.
Exactly why the Fascists had the best approach, they had councils micromanage Corporations between the workers, the owners, and state to set wages. however small businesses were left along, which made for small business growth, and fair Corporations.
Clearly a brilliant idea, it's no wonder why the elite hate Fascism so much, among other reasons like how Fascists created closed circuit autarky economies that functioned well, and how Fascists typically target elite groups like Freemasons, or Jews.
Not that I'm a Nazi, just they got more things right than Republicans, or Democrats.
