    No doubt it is a significant advantage. Government doesn't do enough to stop them. Not just using illegal labor, but violating all sorts of other labor laws in the process.

    The irony of your post here...

    You really are putting down the talent and skill of trade unions when you say that people fresh from forssing the border with the cloths on their backs can do these jobs that require years of training.

    No, illegals aren't talking jobs in trade skills that require years of training and schooling like electrical work or plumbing.


    This is your way to deflect from the fact that Donald Trump equates the range of qualified jobs for the median black American is equivalent to humans who just treked the border illegally who can't speak English and have no formal training in any skill and are only qualified for strenuous labor.


    Don't tell people who spent years training to do skilled labor that illegal immigrants crossing the border can take their jobs. That's insulting.

    Sounds like with a little additional thinking you will agree with Bernie to make trade schools as well as college free. Also go against GOP hatred of government--
    enforce higher wages and prosecute employers who don't follow wage and hr laws.

    No, nothing is free. Someone has to pay for it.

    Ya the people who will take advantage of this influx of skilled trade workers into a economy by sitting on their ass on assets they have as venture capitalists who don't contribute to society at all outside of owning things. Ya those people will pay for it because it will help their return on investment in the long term.

    That is how Democrats need to frame this ****. But a lot of the Democrat political establishment class are also wealthy people who are wealthy only through investments so they are hesitant to frame policies using this type of rhetoric. The blue collar working class would be receptive to a message about how capital owners who extract most of the wealth do not contribute to society and that you as the workers is doing all the work for them.

    There is an entire industry of autobiographies, pr campaigns funded by venture capitalists trying to sell.rhe image of the "self made man" for a reason. It's the thin vaneeer of legitimacy they have on the public and without it they have nothing in terms of public support. The thin vaneeer of meritocracy is preventing this class of people being public enemy number one.

    What's funny to me is that everyone who defects from the Democratic party seems to join the Republicans.

    Meanwhile, alienated Republicans either stay independent or eventually slink back to Trump with their tail between their legs.

    You act as if these people came over here right out of the womb, like they didn't have jobs or learn anything before they came .... like they are idiots.

    Many of them are highly skilled in their fields with a lot of practical experience .... just as good as their American counterparts.

    No they don't have the proper accreditation to do trade skill jobs that require actual accreditation.

    The vast majority of illegal immigrants jobs are low barrier of entry hard manual labor aka "black jobs" as Donald says.

    Are they really? Hugs require energy. Energy requires food. Food requires money. Hugs are not free.

    No shiit Sherlock. That's a big part of the wage gap - why they work for less.

    That doesn't mean that they aren't capable - just that they don't have the credentials.


    Being honest - you have no idea what you are talking about, you have no experience other than what you read on the interwebz - I've lived thru the situation and been directly affected.

    Again, cut the bullshiit and show us where Trump described "black Jobs" as hard labor or anything resembling the racist crap you are alleging.
