Farmers vote Republican because they are least likely to raise minimum wage, something that already includes exemptions for farm work that bring the minimum wage down to something like three dollars an hour (still too much)

Both listed their residences in North Carolina, about 300 miles away. One of the accused was deported to Mexico last month"  Also, I wasn't talking about your run-of-the-mill dumpster french fry grease from America. I was talking about authentic Chinese sewer salvaged cooking oil, otherwise known as "gutter oil", which is in a class of its own: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...m=.9ca561cb8838 It is a WaPo article, so take it with a grain of salt. They do, however, have an actual video to back up the article which makes it a bit more convincing than an anonymous source from the Chinese government.

I didn't even read that article but I assume its about the Chinese black market where they skim oil out of the sewers and sell it to restaurants

What I find the most baffling about China black market food is that apparently counterfeit eggs and rice made from polymers are cheaper to produce than their real counterparts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvEBN8Jd5DE

VikingSkull posted:Hmmmm, farmers hire illegals "Supporting illegals" means making it easier for them to become citizens and punishing people who abuse their status as undocumented to exploit their labor and not pay them a fair wage. Republicans don't want to do either of those things, meaning that it remains easy to hire some desperate fucker looking for a job then stiff him because he's undocumented.

We can start doing those things after we make sure more illegals aren't coming. You can't do that before because then it will just lead to endless waves of more illegals showing up for free citizenship and handouts. Something like what happened to Europe

How is making it easy for lawbreaking/criminal/illegal/undocumented aliens to become citizens fair to those who waited in line and went through the process legally? Our country should let anyone in, so long as they are compatible with our society and will be a valuable and productive member of it. (i.e. benefit our country)

OXBALLS DOT COM posted:We can start doing those things after we make sure more illegals aren't coming. There's no realistic way to stop illegal immigration in a way that will change the status quo. Better to just say everyone is entitled to fair wages for fair work and sort the rest of that poo poo out later. As for Europe... what has immigration done to it? This is a genuine question. Their economic troubles definitely seem like they aren't the product of having a few thousand refugees to deal with, and were going on long before the Syrian crisis really got out of hand. Tinfoil Papercut posted:How is making it easy for lawbreaking/criminal/illegal/undocumented aliens to become citizens fair to those who waited in line and went through the process legally? Because the process now is so byzantine and exclusive that very few people can legally immigrate in anything approaching a reasonable timeframe. Assuming that everyone who comes over here looking to work as a farmhand or some poo poo is a criminal is kind of hosed up, by the way. There are plenty of ways to go about doing this that don't involve just blanket open borders. We can have temporary work visas. We can get people the documentation. It's a hell of a lot better than the alternatives. Chillgamesh fucked around with this message at 14:32 on Jun 16, 2017 |

we could quadruple the number of immigrants we take in and it still wouldn't be focused on taking in migrant workers because that's not the people the immigration system is looking to attract there's a reason it costs as much as it does and that reason isn't bureaucracy Tiny Deer posted:You're my favorite deplorable VikingSkull aw shucks also we prefer to be called Ignorables here
