Something I genuinely don't understand about American politics:
>Immigrants are taking our jobs!
How is this possible? I'm aware of the practice of out-sourcing jobs to other countries for cheaper labor, but how are proper immigrants (that is, people who legally emigrated to the U.S.) "stealing" jobs? A legalized U.S. citizen would have to pay the same taxes and work for the same wages as any other American.
The only possibility I could think of is someone working in the U.S. temporarily with a work visa. But even with a work visa, wouldn't companies still have to pay these people the same minimum wage requirements given to American citizens?
Whatever the case, I fail to see why the finger of blame is pointed at immigrants. Shouldn't you be directing blame at the American employers that are engaged in these practices to begin with? How does building a giant wall resolve this issue? Why isn't anyone attempting to criminalize practices like out-sourcing instead? Why aren't American employers being sanctioned or charged with any crimes?

That argument is used against illegal immigrants, dumb ass

No it's not. There's a strong anti-immigration sentiment among Americans. It seems many people want the U.S. to have entirely closed off borders.
>>35568951
>That argument is used against illegal immigrants
But people are complaining about legal immigrants (or possibly people with work visas) taking over factory jobs and jobs in rural communities, and being paid lower wages to boot. I don't understand how U.S. law would permit this.
Are these types of political views simply based on non-factual interpretations of economic policies in the U.S.? If that's the case, then it seems unfortunate that so many Americans would go to the voting polls with these kinds of views in mind. And President Trump certainly likes to cater to this audience.

What are you saying? Just look at this goddamn website, and you'll find people who are against immigration period.

Non-whites aren't true Americans, that's why
America is collapsing, there are too many non-whites who don't care about the spirit of the country. Civil war is coming soon to America near you.
>>35569615
I'm pretty sure blacks were here longer than white races like the Irish or Italians
>>35569068
I am 27, have lived in America all my life, and have never heard anyone complain about legal immigration in real life. Legal immigration can be kept in check so people aren't losing jobs en masse to immigrants. Outsourcing is a problem. Illegal immigrants mainly take blacks jobs though, so who cares. Blacks (except a few like MLK's family) are too stupid to side with the whites who are trying to protect their monkey asses.

That doesn't matter at all, it's a matter of culture, and though Irish had trouble at first by native whites, they assimilated and became a part of white culture. White skin doesn't make you white, it's white skin + white culture.

legal immigration needs to stop
around 50 years ago the population of our country was still 90% european derived, the majority of us having German ancestry
a revision to the legal immigration policy opened the third world floodgates and crippled us, legal immigration needs to be halted completely

Yeh, because it only helps the economy. White supremacy FTW.
Illegal immigration and refugees pull the country down, not legal immigrants.

Your average Somalian immigrant in the US makes more than your average Germ American
>>35570390
what's your original point?
The illegals that people worry about are drug dealing murderous gang members. My once peaceful section of the city is so overrun with illegals and violence that school is cancelled once or twice a week because of heavy gang activity.
That happy liberal portrayal of illegals being friendly hardworking landscapers is bullshit. When you have to live in a neighborhood with beheadings it really puts a new perspective on illegals.
Americans are only against ILLEGAL immigration because they DO take other people's jobs. They get paid less and paid under the table so no one finds out, which is a shitty thing. I haven't heard anyone in my life complain about LEGAL immigrants taking jobs because anyone could compete for it then.
Well some are against arab immigration but that's not because they take away jobs.

>a revision to the legal immigration policy opened the third world floodgates and crippled us, legal immigration needs to be halted completely
that's not how it works. your average legal immigrant is better than your average germ american, because they usually have to earn their right to move there or pay a million dollars
>>35570463
Legal immigration must stop completely for the rime being, the world doesn't need more Americans.
>>35570340
>soulless utilitarian arguments based on the state of the economy are irrelevent
Fine. How about some facts that make sense to your fucking brain?
Immigrants are 30% more likely to start businesses, which employ Americans. (4.7 Million of them, to be exact)
They are an added income for the government.
They also increase the income for Americans themselves. Around 1% between 2012 and 2016.
All shitskins must hang.
>>35570469
They're better because they can collect more green sheets of paper? I'm not arguing whether one group is better than the other, I'm just saying by and large this is a nation populated by the Deutsche and that there's no reason for that to change.
Increasing the supply of workers lowers the demand which lowers the wages. This is literally econ 101. Also foreign workers who send portions of their income to their families overseas become a net drain on the economy which damages the wages and job prospects of the native population by decreasing domestic economic activity. Understanding these basic economic principles is the first step to curing yourself of the mental disease known as liberalism. Enjoy being called a white supremacist for bringing it up in a discussion.

Rhey don't have to be here legally to work.
Either paid under the table or use sime rando SSN.
May or may not be paid minimum wage but either way....
Tgey workfar, far cheaper and put up with way more unethical bullshit.
That is how they steal jobs. Ensuring some jobs don't pay enough for a citizen to do because they don't want to live in functional poverty and/or they don't wa t to work at a job that doesn't conform to legal or ethical standards.
We have to acceot hat the law us yo be followed and as suck berries and milk and shit has to cost a but more.
We need to quit slitting our own wrists for meager and temporary economic gain.
Illegal immigrants do jobs for nothing and drive down the cost of labor for everyone.
They're being used as a way to make the working class into a glorified slave class.
Entire professions have been turned from something you could live off of to ones where you need to work 60+ hours a week to pay bills.
