as we watch the bread and circuses fed to the american public,and as the drama of this countries absurd political theater heats up.we are subjected to politicians who appeal to the most base of emotions:racism,prejudice and irrational xenophobia.all targeting the weakest and most vulnerable of our society.which is convenient because that demographic does not have the resources to defend themselves.
the elite political class who engage in the language of empathy and compassion,claiming to be good christians.while simultaneously,and hypocritically,denounce abortion as murder and the death penalty as justice.condemn and berate the poor as lazy grifters looking for a handout,while handing over billions in tax breaks,subsidies and no-bid contracts to their buddies on wall street,big business and the defense industry.
these charlatans point to immigrants as the problem.that it is those immigrants who "took your job".that it is the poor immigrant that embodies every venal and vile in this society.it is the immigrant who is lazy..yet is willing to do the jobs YOU wont do..for less,and it is these immigrants that burden our society by their lazy (or is it working too hard at jobs we dont want?.they cant seem to keep this story straight) that is the reason why things are so bad.
which of course is utter and absolute bullshit,but some americans,unwilling to recognize their own bias,racism and prejudice,find this pile of offal appealing and clasp onto this stupid mindset like a drowning man.all in order to justify their own racist delusions.
immigration is not the problem.
those people did not take your job.
the political class,along with the intellectual class sold you out.
the company you used to work for.THEY took your job and gave it to habib in bangledesh.
but you go right ahead and keep deluding yourself that the real issue is immigrants.
you must find your ignorance comforting.

CaptainObvious"The decline in work has particularly affected those under age 29, and the less-educated, who are the most likely to be in competition with immigrants. A study by the economist George J. Borjas and others found that immigration reduces the employment of less-educated black men. Another study came to the same conclusion. A recent analysis by Federal Reserve economist Christopher Smith (2012) found that immigration reduces the employment of U.S. teenagers."

bobknight33Yet more Bullshit from the left. *lies
Any immigrant having a job is one less for an American.
5 workers in 1990 now 3 to sustain 1retiree. So we need to allow immigrants to be my sugar daddy when I retire. Only the left would come up with this excuse of Pimping of immigrants.
Immigrants ARE a drain on public budgets 11Billion in generated taxes is jack squat to what we spend on taking care of them.
ABC news indicated...
"The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), a conservative advocacy group that favors tighter immigration laws, argues that the answer is clear: illegal aliens cost U.S. taxpayers more than $100 billion each year. "

Another report indicates $346 Billion per year.

He is right the game is rigged at the top. The rich want cheep labor and tha is not you. So yes immigrants are taking your job.
Sure today they might have a low skill job today but their children will grow up and take a good middle / upper class job which use to be yours or you childs.
siftbotInvocations (lies) cannot be called by bobknight33 because bobknight33 is not privileged - sorry.
oritteropoOne immigrant having a job meaning one less would be true except that some of them create jobs, the net result isn't as clear as you say.
Studies in other countries find that immigrants cost less in welfare than the rest of the population, I'm not really sure why the USA would be different. Any ideas?

TheFreakTotally anecdotal and I don't have a strong opinion on the general topic...but...
My first job out of high school was carpentry, along with a few of my friends. I left that career but my friends stayed in it. When we went on a job site we worked with maybe a dozen highly skilled, well payed career construction workers. Eventually my friends were pushed out of the industry. The jobs went away. Instead of a crew of skilled carpenters, roofers and so forth, what they were replaced with was a crew of low payed, unskilled, illegal immigrants lead by a single foreman who split his time between several job sites.
Now those jobs will be listed as "low paying jobs Americans don't want", with no accounting for the high payed, skilled jobs that were lost.
diegoas a legal immigrant who left the US but has a lot of friends and family there, Ill just add two points-
1) a lot of immigrants take very good jobs in the US that low skilled americans are far, far away from doing. There is tons of research on how the US takes the best and the brightest from around the world, just in my immediate family there are 3 people with 3 degrees from the best american and european universities that work in the US who would instantly become the top experts in their fields if they decided to come home. Beyond what they pay in taxes, invest in the economy, real estate, their kids' educations etc etc, they make important contributions in their fields and Im quite sure that the US' big lead in technology for example would fall apart if american universities could no longer bring in international students. A lot of the technological breakthroughs happen in the US at US universities, but driven by foreign/immigrant students.
2/ Its not our fault if american businessmen are hypocrites like Trump who hire illegals then complain about them taking jobs from americans. Just like the factories in China that killed US manufacturing belong to corporations with mostly western management. By your own capitalist philosophies, if anyone is responsible it is american consumers unwilling to pay for fair trade and quality products, instead preferring cheap goods produced with slave wages- you cant have your cake and eat it too.
