I agree blanket open borders is bad, and I completely understand that a lot of the money filters back to Mexico. I don’t agree that they are taking jobs, most Americans are not going to get up and pick fruit for 12 hours a day. If they did, there would not be the eagerness for immigrant workers to come here. We benefit from that cheap labor quite a bit.

I think the Republican Party just assumes because a person is not a 50 year old white guy that a conservative message won’t work. I think if there was a more supportive message the perceived negative could turn into a positive. Just my opinion. I have been wrong many times on these macro issues lol.

Big disconnect there to Norfolk. Do a lot of immigrants pick fruit, sure they do.

But you want a construction job, plumbing, wiring, most any skilled labor done. Head to your nearest home depot parking lot and ask one of the group there if they want the job. Offer them shat money and they will just laugh, you will pay the going rate.

The savings in labor is not having to pay SS, medicare, unemployment, insurance etc, thats where the employer saves the money and the employee makes it, and you can fire them without three lawyers showing up at your doorstep with 15 white people protesting.
