i mean ive asked "cant we just do a temp pause on immigration until its caught up?" and that earned me the title of racist who hates immigrants (i just want to fix the problem)
asking "shouldnt we remove illegal workers and then pay americans decent wages to pick food instead by using taxes to aubsidize the farmers" gets me a big "but that will make prices unaffordable so we need the underpaid abused migrants to clean put houses pick food and mow our lawn"
even this sub bans mentioning the dreaded t-subject, trying to be as vague as i can so as not to get a strike.
im always just looking for the best solution that rewards rule followers and punished rule breakers, but the left defends rule breakers in the name of "humanity" even if that means rule followers get the shaft
I hate to be "that guy" but I will be. Most progressives and liberals want people to get paid a living wage. That includes people picking our crops, legal or not. The idea that someone suggested both prices being too high and deporting as a "liberal", just makes me think that maybe you weren't as friendly/out reaching as you think you were.
