Border Wall

Doesn’t sound like you understand what racism is.
I’m shocked.

 

Okay arbiter of racism, what is racism then? Please link it to saying that we need immigrant labor due to labor shortages in this country. I'm all ears.

 

You have demonstrated repeatedly that you cannot understand the concept.
It would be like teaching a pre k his letters and sounds.
Too long and not worth the task.

 

Yeah, that is a cop out because you just like to trash talk with nothing to back it up.

 

I’d say I’ve learned from my mistakes in the past.
You are a proven provocateur. You don’t have an interest in learning. You only want to argue.
No need to engage with your kind.

 

And yet, here you are, constantly talking trash (a form of engagement) but not backing anything up. Even here, you are still trying to justify your own behavior by talking more trash.

 

What you call trash…I call truth.

 

And that is the problem. Because it is trash. It isn't backed by anything. It is just trying to engage without engaging.

 

You hate the truth and call it trash.
We get it.

 

Your insults and gifs are boring. I'll give you the attention you crave when you prove to be something more than that. Until then, enjoy trying to engage.

 

I posted before the average migrant worker in the US makes $17/hr, and in CA, about $19/hr. Not going to become rich with these wages, but seems like fair pay for hard work, which is exactly what we are offering these immigrants. And exactly what they are looking for because this ability doesn't exist in their home country. Yes, there are those immigrants being exploited and being paid less, but one way to reduce this is make them legal, which would allow them the ability to lodge complaints without the fear of deportation.

I fail to see how this is racist at all. Our country was built on people coming over as indentured servants, trading passage to this country for a period of time they would work to pay off the debt. Immigrants aren't indentured servants, and nobody has to pay for them to come over. In general, they know the deal. The come and work low end, low wage jobs and in exchange, they at least get the ability to feed their family. And speaking of family, part of the deal is we educate the kids and they have the ability to climb the economic ladder and do better than their parents, which is the case more often than not of what actually happens.

A guest worker program isn't racist. It isn't a guest welfare program. The guest worker program would be available to any and all, and people signing up for it should know what they are signing up for. Not racist at all.

 

@wgbgator was right here. It is essentially him calling capitalism racist because it is exploitive because he thinks, in this context, it makes a good argument.

 

would it be racist to say “we need more Africans to pick our cotton”?
How about, “we need more Mexicans to clean our houses.”

If you find those two racist proclamations to be ok with you, then it is no wonder you are ok with “we need more Hispanics to pick our onions.”

Enjoy talking in circles. That’s what you do and it wastes a lot of time.
You’re upset that I figured out your game.
There is no discussion with some folks. I took you off ignore solely for entertainment purposes.

 

I though you lefties thought this Country was built on the backs of slaves….

 

I lied both times, what I meant to say, is your racist for defending his comments. My bad.

 

Immigrant isn't a race.

No matter how many times you tell the lie that he said that quote, he still never said that quote. You made it up.

 

Okay, so now you have made up a quote, multiple times, admitted to having lied in calling him a racist, and now are calling me a racist for calling out your lying. Ouch, dude.

 

And yet, here you are thirsty for my attention.
