I will never understand how the anti-imigration side is the racist one, when the pro-imigration argument is:

We have a lot of jobs that noone wants to do, so we import these people with questionable legal status, who can do them below minimum wage 🤣 (that means slaves btw)

@LukeAlmighty I remember when the line was "we're importing big-brain rocket scientsts because poor countries shouldn't have those."

@LukeAlmighty "Who will work the fields and do the other shitty jobs we're too good to do if we don't have an easily exploited, permanent underclass of brown people brought into the country via sketchy means?"

-Argument in 1859, also argument in 2025

Pick your own cotton, mow your own lawn, scrub your own toilet, make your own damned tacos.
@Charles_in_Charge @LukeAlmighty I think Pol Pot demonstrated that "intellectuals" should be doing those jobs.
@Charles_in_Charge @LukeAlmighty We can do all those things. We did it in the past and some are still doing it now. My dad his siblings and grandpa ran a hay bailing operation. Hot brutal work . If it pays a living wage white people will do it. Most of us feel good after a good hard day of accomplishment whether its digging ditches or building skyscrapers. We may bitch about it but we like to work
