You said Americans should get "dibs" on jobs. That makes jobs an entitlement. Why is it government's job to say whom an employer can hire and not?You understand a job is not a right or entitlement, yes? So no one "gets dibs" on jobs. That is merely rent seeking by less qualified people.We is the American people.How much is their labor worth collectively? We will lose all that.
Who is "we?" What do I care if the immigrant is no longer working here? He's also not consuming or sucking down government benefits.
You see people are liabilities. That is inherently a liberal/progressive worldview. I see people as resources.
The truth is that illegal immigrants, being younger and healthier, use far less resources than similar classes of Americans.
And they should. After all, it's their country.
Just like they should have first dibs on job opportunities over foreigners. Just like they should get pay increases through the supply and demand process over foreigners. Just like they should be able communicate in their language over foreigners.
Our citizens should always come first over foreigners.
I never said a job was an entitlement or a right. It doesn't have to be to understand the simple concept that a government should prioritize their citizens over others when it comes to anything where government is concerned.
After all, if we do believe in the premise that our government is We The People, then We The People are the most important in our land.
