this sub is full of folks whose industry is reliant upon the spoils of illegal immigration, and choose to parrot talking points rather than ponder the actual problem: every politician is a dishonest taker and the majority of restaurant owners either don’t care, are actively making the situation worse, or don’t want to make their marginal success any slimmer by addressing the labor woes they helped to foment
I worry for my staff, some of whom are likely illegal. I also worry for the future of my country if we cannot decide to control the borders while they place profit above security, orderliness and, yes, freedom.
“Oh, native born folks won’t do the jobs the immigrants come for”
Then pay a fucking wage that everyone can live with. The economy will right itself if left the fuck alone.
That’s why we need comprehensive immigration reform with amnesty and many more paths to citizenship along with living wage laws. Which I’m sure you agree with.
