“We are desperate—desperate for more immigrants”

[UNCjigga]

“We are running out of people to fuel the economic growth that we’ve had in our nation over the last four years. We need more immigrants.”

Who said it?

A) Bernie Sanders
B) Pete Buttigieg
C) Barack Obama
D) Mick Mulvaney

I guess when you fly across the pond and get far enough away from Trump, you can get away with speaking truth (to non-Americans.)

No wonder this Administration loves them some Brexit—what better way to fuel a steady exodus of Anglo-Saxons once again?

What he's really saying is that Trump wants more white immigrants.

 

[JSt0rm]

Moar whites!!!

 

[Ottonomous]

This administration is weird. They advocated restriction of [all legal + illegal immigration] to protect lower-income Americans but now want an influx of say, western european skilled workers. A lot of Americans will get monstrously effed in the job market

I'll bet he wouldn't say that in Honduras...

sounds about white

I think the key word in that statement is "Legal" immigrants.

Whoosh.

 

[pcgeek11]

Quoted title has conveniently left out the word legal....


Whoosh indeed.

 

[ch33zw1z]

This admin spent a good deal of time and energy shitting on legal and non legal immigrants. So, meh. Seems more like a setup for when the economy tanks.

Whoosh indeed.

ah yes, we want legal immigrants. This coming from a president who hired illegal immigrants at his own resort, told a judge they shouldn't be on the bench because of their Mexican ancestry, and enacted a Muslim ban that totally wasnt a Muslim ban...

Whoosh indeed.

I dont see illegal in the title either.
You prefix all your real life actions with legal? Cause that would imply that when you dont you are criming.
Its shit like this that defines a handful of conservatives on this board. Mind-boggling. Makes you think this planet needs a purge.

Whoosh, the administration has only restricted immigration. They have made it harder for people to come here legally.

Whoosh indeed

"we need more cheap labor that doesn't question the serf/slave mentality of the oligarch owners who are happy to exploit them under the guise of some humanitarian farce for the virtue signaling liberal establishment and allow the conservative, right to work types, to bypass all the hard won labor wage laws if they had to hire uppity Americans so the 1% can become richer regardless of political affiliation."

Is there anyone on the National stage who meets your purity tests?

He has no purity test. He's just another bitchy conservative hack.

Why would those workers come? "Come, live under a corrupt, fascist regime, enjoy longer work hours, fewer vacations days, and go bankrupt if you get sick" doesn't make the best recruitment pitch.

Silly peon...the rules and laws are for mortals, not King Donnie.

As long as they don't come from shithole countries. That would be all those darkies.

Its a very elitist view that Swedes and Norwegians aren't beating down our national door to install toilets in tract housing in suburban Atlanta for low wages and no benefits.

Your "I am the only enlightened one, look at how clever I am" schtick is getting pretty old. Yeah, we know there are broader questions -- that doesn't change many of the issues at hand.

Yeah, that poster has never once posted something they are for that I am aware of. Just everyone else sucks in some way so anything they may be proposing is automatically dismissed.

 

[ShookKnight]

Moar, moar white people!! Moar!!

Ignoring the context of the broader issues is why the issues at hand exist to begin with.

As an advocate for sustainability, I view population increase as an existential threat to our survival. I want NO additional people. Period.

All Immigration should be slashed to thousands, from millions.
