Republicans raise the debt ceiling by 4 trillion while kicking millions off insurance

Maybe they should rise the pay for those jobs
until Americans will apply for them

Isn't that how Capitalism is suppose to work
They have make the demand for the job palatable to the point that the supply shows up?

but no . . they want to be able to FORCE labor to take whatever they offer
aka circumventing capitalism into a one sided affair.

If a peach orchard cannot survive paying legal workers bargained for wages, then it should not survive. That land would be repurposed for something else which can be productive. If that means people have to buy imported peaches, or peaches become a luxury item because they have to raise prices, so be it. Why would it be better to support exploiting illegal immigrants so people can have cheap peaches?

I don't use political expediency as my guide. That's why I am a libertarian.

Enforcing laws can be sold to Americans though. If that then forces them to reckon with reality, all the better.

 

We are so quick to tell consumers/individuals that if they cannot afford it . . .don't buy it
YET we still feel like Corps/Ownership is ENTITLED to cheap labor

If Peaches cannot be grown and havested at a cost that market can bear .. .then they do become a luxury item
So Be It.
That Said . . . .we really need to see why everything in America seems cost twice as much as everywhere else

I find it sad that a can of peaches could potentially be a luxury item, we have lived of the sweat of immigrants for so long to be able to have cheap things like beef, chicken, vegetables..................practically everything we eat

then trump and team paint a wide brush that there ALL bad which is simply not true. I am not sure if they paid an American $25.00 an hour that they would WANT to pick the dam things in this heat......................the American labor pool is not into that type of work IMO but hey, I hope she gives it a shot and if Peaches go from 2.50 a lb to 25.00 a lb I just wont buy them.
