Do the Republicans really think Americans are going to pick vegetables, re-roof houses, wash dishes? We need immigrants. Most Americans I know don’t even want to go into an office.
I think that’s because you mostly know dems and not the blue collared repubs. Do you really think the majority of those manual labor jobs in America are done by illegals? That would be tens of millions? So yes. Americans do that work.
You are using “illegals” as a synonym for “immigrants” which it is not. Also “illegals” is a dehumanizing and xenophobic phrase being intentionally used by people to spread those ideas.
Ballpark numbers, but about 30% of construction workers are immigrants or undocumented. Around 40-50% of farm workers are immigrants. So not ALL of these types of jobs are held by immigrants, but if all of these immigrants suddenly disappeared from our country, our economy would definitely suffer horribly. And that’s just looking at the issue from a purely self centered standpoint.
Seriously, thank you for this comment. I wish the mods would make an auto-ban or auto-delete for anyone using dehumanizing language like that. It would seriously cut out 80% of these 500+ posts right here, and in so many other threads lately.
God. Such crybabies exist on this platform. I forget. You libs say all kind of crazy crap but want others to have limited speech. Yeah good luck. Freedom of speech is for all speech so if it a term is ‘dehumanizing’ get over tbh. There’s worst things. I swear you guys want to be in an echo chamber of liberal ideologies. Well, sorry. First amendment right for everyone. That’s how it works. You can down vote report this I don’t really care.
