One way liberals are supporting illegal immigration

[Solvedit]

With makework.

There was a video on Youtube in which some obviously wealthy liberal claimed everyone's lawn care bills would go way up if the borders were controlled because 90% of lawn care services are staffed by recent arrivals.

I was told my chances of getting a good job would go up if I put off saving for retirement and purchased a new, large SUV which is manufactured near me, even though I do not have a high-paying job and don't need an SUV.  

There is a local ethic that money should be spent locally on things like meals out, lawn care, and large SUVs. 

Fast food was once staffed by high schoolers; now people view it as a career. 

Don't let them tell you we will run out of labor.  They are already stretching the work out as thin as they can to make more room.

If only it was just misplaced, irrational compassion.  They may want to import people who will be amnestied and change the political landscape of the nation.

Kinda seems interesting no that the price of EVERYTHING skyrocketed the moment service-industry jobs starting paying folks +16 bucks an hour instead of minimum wage

Didn't many of us say that would happen?

Meanwhile the corporations are making off like bandits with these higher prices , like groceries doubling, meanwhile they are cutting hours for grocery workers and not keeping up wages with the double and triple profits they are making.
They had covid as an excuse and now it's inflation and meanwhile if that were the case their profits would not be increasing so much.
We need more regulation on corporations, I think. 

As far as immigration,  none of the things I was told would pass by my more mainstream or liberal friends have, like the 'meat packing 'and 'vegetable picking' industries have not 'shut down' due to deportations.

Can it be big city liberals got "black fatigue" before everyone else did?

Can it be they don't mind adding 12 million new liabilities in order to ease their discomfort?
In addition to moving in some new support staff with sanctuary city policies, they may also have deliberately passed soft-on-crime policies and influenced the start of defund so people besides big city liberals would start getting fed up with the segment which is now doing smash-and-grab robberies and open shoplifting.
 
Corporate welfare may be a payment to companies who operate in the inner city and other areas with a workforce which may have been underserved by "culturally insensitive education." 
 
It is controlled by the federal government and could be ended by a non-liberal majority in congress and a non-liberal president.  That way, big city liberals don't get cancelled.

Just wait till you try to get a hotel room.

 

In Los Angeles, a new ordinance raises the minimum wage for hotel and airport workers to $30 per hour by 2028. The increase begins with a $22.50 minimum wage in July 2025. This is part of a broader package that also includes increased healthcare stipends.

It will go up, and I'll be glad to see it. The reason it will go up is, you won't have a bunch of scab labor here working for peanuts, competing for what few jobs are left, driving wages down for the working class.
 

Fast food was once staffed by high schoolers; now people view it as a career. 

That's because a bunch of greedy politicians, republican and democrat, bought and paid for by a bunch of greedy rich people, republican and democrat. Screwed the working class back in 1999.

I hate to be the one to break the news to republicans and democrats, capitalism requires poor people. You gotta have enough people desperate enough to work for just a living, so some greedy people can get rich off of their labor.

The idea of, if you don't like your lot in life, better yourself is a pipe dream. It isn't easy getting out of the working class, and anyone that does is the exception not the rule. And one final kick in the ass for that idea is. If everyone was rich no one would work.

Which means your lawn care and happy meal would cost you thousands or tens of thousands of dollars.

The price of everything has always been going up. In capitalism profits have to continue to increase. But they really started skyrocketing during covid. And that is where the 16 bucks a hour came from. But it didn't happen here. The McDonald's here is still offering 10 bucks a hour. The same as it was before covid.   

It isn't the working class that is your enemy. It's the greedy republicans and democrats.

Profit margin is the way to look at it.
And in context.
For example, compare Exxon's profit margin over the last ten years to Starbuck's over the same period.
Grocery companies usually run under 5% profit margin. They are broke compared to several other industries.
