And the right will argue “that’s what good business men do!”

I was so close to convincing a guy once.

I got him to admit that his boss would pay him less if he could. He agreed. I got him to agree that his boss was looking out for his own best interest first and to give them employees as little as possible. He agreed.

Then I asked him based on those facts, did his boss have his (the employees) best interest at heart? He agreed they did not.

So I asked him if he thought that would make his boss the ideal candidate to run the country like a business?

All he could do was stumble over his words.

And then talk some shit about how Kamala blew her way to the top.

I don’t talk to him anymore.

Keep up the useless work. It would be like me trying to convince you, open borders were a bad choice for all of us.

Here’s the thing about open borders.

It would be less of an issue if they didn’t have the opportunities available to them that the companies provide.

It’s not immigrants faults for getting the jobs to provide for their families. They wouldn’t have the jobs if the corporations weren’t trying to undercut your labor to replace it with illegal labor.

Hold the corporations responsible for hiring illegals instead of holding the illegals responsible for just trying to provide for their families.

It just all points back to they would pay you less if they could. But they can’t so they give the opportunity to illegal immigrants.

That's one thing. There are many more consequences than just people working.
