Who will pick the crops

Pro-covid, 168 million people had jobs in 2019.  Curently, 161 million are working.  Add in that 10 million illegals flooded in.  Those numbers NO NOT point to things going swimmingly under Biden

I'm sure you're against illegal workers using false documents to game the system, right?  Well let's just mandate all businesses must use the E-Verify system.  That's something Democrats used to support before they went crazy and decided to just open up the borders and let millions of unvetted, unskilled illegals in and ignore the fact they are cutting in line and lying on I9 forms.

 

Besides, we're going to start by deporting the known criminals and those already under deportation orders...It will take some time to replace the illegal workers with automation.  I'd also support deporting the known criminals to The new Kevin Pacifica Sanctuary...located in his head.. 


Oh yeah! Them automated fruit pickers! Elon's building them right now and there will be more than a million for sale by the end of this year!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Charlees bleats the standard MAGA line. The workers who were "let in" were examined and documented. Therefore, they're not "illegals."

 

Stupid Charles!

What's the current unemployment rate?

 

Most employers in my area are still desperate for employees. A lot of restaurants close their dining rooms and just leave the drive through open. They also often close early because they don't have enough employees to staff the store.

 

My 21 year-old niece with a high school education started at a factory that pays her $26 an hour and has overtime available after her shift and every Saturday. She had her pick of several jobs.  She can hit 70k a year by avergaing 45 hours a week.

 

 

Anybody in my area that is able bodied and wants a job paying $20+ an hour can have it.

Supply and demand.  Wages for unskilled American workers will increase.


Which will raise food prices, even if somehow all those jobs are filled...right, Boilerboob?

 

It's a silly fantasy to think that American workers can be persuaded to do the strenuous and dirty jobs that migrants do in the US. Even if they ARE paid a couple of dollars more per hour.

Pj is upset that the Trump Organization legally hired 209 foreign workers or 0.9% of its 23,000 employees. 

Democrats plan for immigration reform is a path to citizenship which is a non-starter.  It rewards people who broke the law & encourages more illegal immigrarion. 

The 10m who illegally entered in the last 4 years are not working or else they wouldn't be living in hotels, tent cities etc. getting free food & other benefits. 


It's a non-starter to YOU, because you hate hate hate hate hate brown people so very, very much.

 

Your statement that "the 10m who illegally entered in the last 4 years are not working" is beyond ridiculous. None of them? REALLY?

 

Stupid, stupid Tom. You MAGA morons make yourself look like fools when you try to justify your race hatred.

While it's not the same thing you're talking about, I've gotten back into the substitute teaching game because the pay has increased by forty percent. And why are there so many openings? Because in the last few years, when teachers have retired, they haven't been replaced...because young professionals aren't joining the ranks any longer. They can cherry-pick better and higher-paying jobs.

 

Ain't that terrible terrible terrible Biden economy awful? Lotsa bitch bitch whining about high prices; not so much about fat paychecks. As PJ notes, this is the first time ever when pretty much anyone with a pulse can make $20 an hour. In N Out Burger, down the street, has a huge sign up, "$22/HR TO START! ALL SHIFTS AVAILABLE!" When Biden took office, those jobs paid $11/hr.

 

Don't worry, though, MAGAs. Trump will stop those big paychecks!

Do you ever listen to yourself? Giant racist like all your democrat friends, I'm white, I worked on the farm picking crops all summer. White people won't do those jobs, go fuck yourself. It is the dems that have caused this whole mess, trying to get everyone dependent upon the government so they insure their power.

 

Failing school systems with no school choice in democrat run cities to keep people stupid so they keep voting democrat. Putting people on welfare and food stamps and all the fraud so they don't work. Tons of social security fraud as well.

 

Can't wait for DOGE to start working on this, put all the fraudsters in jail and America back to work.

 

As a lifelong democrat who voted for Obama, I finally saw the light and am now a registered independent.

 

Used to think Bush was the worst president ever but at least he loved America, dumb but a patriot, then Obama, super smart but did everything he could to undermine the constitution, not uphold it. Obama care is a disaster, and he and Michelle hate whitey and set back race relations back 20 years.

 

Now comes Biden, the dumbest guy in law school, the dumbest senator and vice president and the worst president ever, problem is he doesn't even know it. You had a guy that was incapable of answering any questions and a VP that wouldn't.

 

Inflation, Afghanistan, 2 new wars, American's held hostage, a war on fossil fuels, Ivy leagues schools complicit with jew hating protests, 10 - 20 million illegals including murders, rapists, pedophiles, the mentally ill, terrorists and chinese spies.

 

Yeah, give me four more years of that shit show.

 

Thank god Trump got elected, he will save the country and get us back on the right track. He is not hitler or evil, he is also a patriot that loves this country and will do everything he can to Make America Great Again, and who wouldn't want that? Well, except you and rest of the crazy left.

 

Oh and by the way, no one cares what you think, nor do they care what the mainstream media report, they have proven themselves to be liars for the last 10 years, and America is tuning them out.

My numbers regarding "employment participation" came from the FED, and just about everyone is reporting that 8 million illegals have been confirmed to have entered under Biden, but with got aways, it's closer to 10,000,000.  Where did you get your data?

"Just about everyone is reporting" isn't a valid source of info. And I've called you out on this before...but the people you call "gotaways"...how would anybody know how many there are? Or do you think that after they cross the border undetected, they check in at the local sheriff's office, "Hola senor, I'm here illegally, hasta manana!"?

 

You continually mix up unemployment rate and labor participation rate, so I'll let you get that straightened out in your head before I explain them to you.
