Isn't this cute Trump wants to give every illegal that graduates college a green card

And he even says two year community college is fine. 😆  So Trump tells us all the illegals are stealing our jobs but he wants to import illegals, give them a college degree and send them after the high paying jobs.

 

Looks like you are in luck if you are a janitor, maid, fast food worker ect. On the other hand if you are in tech, the medical field or another high paying profession Trump wants to give your job to an illegal.

I know your post was tongue+in-cheek, but Trump's idea was actually a good one. Every new college graduate creates approximately five jobs (DOE; Forbes). So THEM FEELTHY IMMERGENTS TAKIN ARE JOBZ doesn't hold up

   Once again, Lewis has been found to be lying -- Most Employment Growth Since Pandemic Has Gone to Immigrants - The government’s household survey shows that there were only 971,000 more U.S.-born Americans employed in May 2024 compared to May 2019 prior to the pandemic, while the number of employed immigrants has increased by 3.2 million. -- Three - fourths of employment growth has gone to immigrants (legal and illegal) - https://cis.org/Camarota/Most-Employment-Growth-Pandemic-Has-Gone-Immigrants

With the USA unemployment rate at 4%, I would venture to say that without some form of immigration, many jobs would not be filled, hurting companies' bottom line. Many of these jobs are jobs Americans don't want because they can make the same hourly wage or better from less labor-intensive jobs. 

 

I worked with a small business association and visited small businesses all over my state, of course, the farmers and ranchers all told me that only immigrants would do the work that they needed done.  One business owner had a roofing company and as we chatted he told me how his roofing employees changed from the 1980's through the early 2000's. He used to hire American-born roofers and transitioned to only immigrant roofers as time went on. Americans didn't want the roofing job, they could become a manager at a retail store or work in an office for more money and a much more comfortable work environment. 

 

My son worked for a landscape company one summer while he was in high school in the 90's, he was the only American-born person on the crew, it just the way it is. 

 

It would be nice if Congress would take the challenge and put something together to address our entire immigration system, just building a wall is a 6th-grade solution to the problem.


We should only allow immigrants that bring financial gain to Americans.  This is a goog idea.

This is what you don't seem to understand. Anyone who comes here, finds gainful work, and establishes a life is a HUGE financial gain for Americans, as well as themselves. Even someone who picks fruit for a living will add over a million dollars to the economy during their lifetime.

 

You see, you tiny-brained folks think that the economy is a zero-sum game. It isn't. Both parties in a transaction can gain. This is basic, Boiler, and you should remind yourself of it every time you bleat THAR TAKIN ARE JOBZ.

That's why the conservitard bleat THAR TAKIN ARE JOBZ is and always has been false. And if the conservitard fantasy of machine gun nests and barbed wire at the entire border ever came to pass, our economy would tank.

 

I personally am not given the heebie-jeebies by that person weeding the lawn across the street being a FEELTHY MESSKIN, nor am I worried that I might accidentally touch one at the gas station or grocery store. But many conservitards do have such a phobia, and that's the real driver of all the debate.

I'm not sure what that even means, a level of education? Already have a job before admitting? Pay to play?

If they work, they bring financial gain, regardless of their educational level.
