Discussion: Trump Tweets Video Of Then-Sen Obama Opposing Open Borders: 'I Agree' '100%!'

.Psssttt…Donnie…no one actually supports the extreme measures that you accuse Dems of supporting. Dems want a comprehensive immigration bill. You’re the one who killed it. They are also not planning on giving luxury cars to…well, anyone.

I guess I’m far to the left of Democrats on immigration. I believe in open borders combined with uniformly aggressive enforcement of US labor laws and card-check unionization. Any citizen of any American nation should be free to work in the United States, at the same wage scale and tax rates of a USA citizen. Same workplace protections against discrimination, abuse, wage theft and sexual harassment. Same overtime rules. Same right to organize. Same right to earn health care benefits, retirement savings, all of it.

American businessmen hire illegal immigrants because they can pay them less, work them harder and send them packing on a moment’s notice if they don’t like it. Take away this permanent underclass of disposable workers to exploit and abuse, and the market would sort itself out fine.

For all their noise - and a few show raids of 7-11 stores - the GOP willfully ignores the fact that folks coming for economic reasons won’t come if job laws were enforced. Heck, Trump uses H1B workers claiming there are no qualified Americans, though who would want to work for him. It’s been a long time con that the base still falls for. And Dems don’t attack.

Judging by your comment, I agree!

 

I believe in open borders

Funny how politicians rarely use the term in relation to capital, only labor.

I bet you’re roughly as amused as I am.

That was when Trump thought Obama was OK, because he knew his place before he got ā€œuppityā€ which Donnie didn’t like at all. s/

Well, some are calling for ICE to be shut down.

That’s an attack. Is it effective? Has it even been properly explained?

Certainly it’s an attack that has itself been attacked by other Democrats!

A poor or struggling white man’s biggest enemy is overwhelmingly likeliest to be a rich white man.
Economic insecurity is real and the anger is well Justified. But the target selection is 180 degrees off.
