I was thinking this weekend. Liberals always say we need illegals because Americans won't do the hard work in agriculture for low pay and horrid conditions. Never mind that the party that claims to champion and support the poor is making an argument rooted in the exploitation of people.
But then I think about how liberals always jerk their dicks over Cesar Chavez, who is championed for having established better working conditions for field workers. But I guess if white Americans do like Cesar, we're just the bad guys, entitled. God forbid people actually offer workers good conditions.
But looking into this, I had heard that Chavez actually had anti-immigration opinions. So, I did what every scholar does and wikipedia'd it.
"Their opposition [to immigration] stemmed from their belief that the program undermined U.S. workers and exploited the migrant workers...immigrants could not protest any infringement of their rights, lest they be fired and replaced."
I'm not expert on Chavez, and his record on immigration doesn't seem solid, but I thought it was interesting to read up on Chavez contacting ICE while Hispanic Womyn Studies majors blast off to his legacy.
The logic behind it isn't hard to understand, I've been saying it for months. Unrestricted immigration and unrestricted exporting of jobs KILLS labor gains.
We can have a philosophical discussion about the lottery of birth and if boarders make sense in a different thread, but right now, I think people need to first and foremost consider AMERICAN INTERESTS.
If Americans are being beat out by foreign labor Americans aren't trying hard enough.
A system that coddles an elite by birth isn't one that deserves to exist.
