    The Haitians in Springfield who got accused of eating geese in the park are currently all there to revitalize Ohio’s automotive industry. Republicans love their car culture and hate their car manufacturing workforce.

    Consider this: half the migrants are collecting welfare, and half of them are taking jobs.

    You forgot the misogyny. The women take the welfare and the men take the jobs and all the families are broken /s

    They can be both because the jobs they work pay too little to live on, so they need welfare to survive.

    Of course that’s true for most jobs that non-immigrants work too, but a few cents more and you’re suddenly not eligible for grocery money.

    We don’t have enough children, our birth rate is too low. Yet allowing young immigrants to come in? Terrible idea for some reason.

      Yeah because they are going to steal your most beloved jobs! Like cleaning and fast food cooking and everyone’s childhood career dream of being a toilet lady.

      For real though, I could at least follow the logic if it were for high paying, competitive jobs. But these aren’t the migrants you are trying to keep out, in fact it is the one every country wants to get in. So why are the migrants the problem who are going to live in relative poverty, agreeing to wage theft, agreeing to horrible living conditions? The ones who won’t hardly have enough for a pension.

      Also, there is nothing wrong with cleaning, fast food cooking, or toilet ladies. All the more power to them. It is a fucking disgrace that we regard certain unpleasant jobs (that will still need to be done) as low skill, low class, and award them with the lowest pay possible.

    The same people who said sleepy Joe is too senile and incompetent to be president yet also masterminded both Covid-19 and committed the biggest election fraud in the history of this nation…

    For fascism the power they derive is all from the fear generated by an enemy that is both weak yet strong. They’re weak and know they’re wrong

    You forgot they’re also criminal masterminds who smuggle in thousands of dollars in drugs over the border, kill hundreds of Americans without getting caught, are master engineers that build massive tunnel networks underground, and scam the government out of billions of dollars via welfare programs.

    Honestly I wish immigrants were the people conservatives think they are because they’d have an insane set of skills we could use.

    No matter where you are in the world, this anti-immigrant sentiment is the same.
