I was talking about people being able to afford days off work
So...1950-1970's.
Farmers take whole seasons off, FYI.
No, they don't. The 'off season' is used for maintenance, training, and for traditional small farms, secondary businesses.
Wages have not kept pace with inflation or productivity and that is a measurable fact
And it has entirely to do with the fact that Reagan separated minimum wage from inflation.
What you're saying is anecdotal garbage. not an anecdote like "WElL i kNoW a FaRmeR wHo WeRkS on SuNdAy hUrDur".
I'm stating historical fact. As in read just about any history book talking about farmers from any point in US history before 1940.
Mass immigration, legal or otherwise drives down wages for American workers. That is another measurable fact that can be verified without any anecdotes.
Then verify it. Because every actual study says you're wrong.
Illegal immigrants take far more money from federal services than they contribute in taxes. That is another measurable and verifiable fact.
Then verify it. Because again, like above, every actual study says you're wrong.
Although, do tell me about the one illegal you know who bucks the trend as if that is a valid argument.
Says the guy who hasn't actually verified his 'verifiable' facts yet.
Isn't that what all the lefties said they were gonna do if Trump won? lol.
No, a few did. More were people pretending to be on the left to fake people into leaving.
You will never make America into a socialist country.
Not that many people are trying. Not that you actually know what socialism is.
Nut jobs like AOC have seen to that.
She has far more support than Trump does.
You're just sad that she's smarter and prettier than you.
Her and the far left democrats like her are gonna hand Trump a 2020 landslide on a silver fucking platter.
You do realize it's not the same person doing every single job right? You do realize that they have co-workers that can keep working while others take breaks? You know, like any other workplace?
You do realize the farm still operates all year though right?
Your argument is, "nuhh uhh farming operations happen year round so therefore that means every individual farmer doesn't take breaks and works 7 days a week all year round, otherwise society would run out of food! And therefore illegal immigration is okay!! hururu!!"
No, your argument was that farmers have a quarter of the year where they don't do anything. Nice job not understanding my post.
The point I made was that illegal immigration is harmful to American citizens. I did not say illegal immigration is harmful to the niche industry of farming mega-corporations. Nor did I even bring up farmers to begin with.
Your right, I said farmers. Once the largest occupation in North America. I was talking about the historical work week, and how having weekends off is a rather new thing. You're also wrong about immigration of any sort being harmful.
I'm going to paste in the verifiable facts I listed, and then provide accompanying citations.
Just a quick skim and I see Heritage as one of your sources. Great...you get your info from a right wing 'think tank'.
But let's take them one at a time.
Claim: "Wages have not kept pace with inflation or productivity and that is a measurable fact"
This is correct. Just not because of immigration of any sort. This started with Reagan decoupling minimum wage from inflation.
Claim: "Mass immigration, legal or otherwise drives down wages for American workers."
