“It was never about ‘legal’ immigration, but always about upholding white supremacy,” said one human rights lawyer.

    Those are jobs not only Americans don’t want, but there is not enough to fill.

    We already had a low unemployment.

      Don’t worry, they’re working hard to pump up those unemployment numbers as well. Not going to be long before people are starving in the streets, not because there’s no food, but because the average person just won’t be able to afford it.

      Americans want them. The employers won’t pay what the job market demands. When eggs are rare the price rises. When labor is it’s always “labor’s fault” huh? Not that very same market.

      If it is required for life, health, home, or education, it should not be allowed to profit.

        Gee, it’s almost like some hostile foreign leader had paid him a few billion dollars to destroy America, but that’s ludicrous, right? Right?

          I think he tries to convert America to Russia. Consolidate all power, make people so miserable that they won’t have time to protest as they will be figuring out how to survive.

          I was told all during his first illegitimate term that talking about Russia was super-naughty and bad. The people doing some of the very most lecturing on this - well, first of all, it was mostly the unhinged right-wing, true (while they were all-in on qanon/pizzagate nuttery), but next up was a whole lot of supposed leftists and of course the mainstream centrist “liberal media” right behind that…
