It's not like immigrants take their earnings and burn it in a big pit every other Friday.

I get that. However, is there a problem with a merit based system for work visas?

It makes more sense for countries with more socialized systems, i.e. a person with cancer becoming a Canadian citizen for the free healthcare is weird. But in the US hellscape it�s just isolationism.

Aha. I get this. But wouldn�t you expect a policy like this to be implemented if we were to ever get our poo poo together domestically? I had to get sign off from a trade union when I got my residence permit last year. I was glad they vouched for my contract.

Dale won't vote because that's how the get you.
Luanne has a good chance of going for Stein given prior history rolling in with the communist, but it kind of unclear given her character development and Buddy. Buddy would probably surprise everybody by saying he's not voting for Trump.
Boomhauer would have also gone Hillary. He has no hangups to deal with.

The episode would have been about Bill falling into a MAGA cult of other fat, insecure, white men, and the gang will have to drag him out of it. Bill will be joined by Hank's boss and the B plot will be Hank having to deal with voting for Republicans in 2016. The turning point of the show would be Hank explaining the weight, power, and sanctity of the vote or something to Bill. At the end, it shows Hank agonizing in the booth before ending up leaving the president blank and casting the ballot. They'll ask him how he chose and he'll say he chose to vote or something else.

Ok, I kind of feel like an rear end in a top hat for asking this, but is there really anything wrong with some worker protectionism on the immigration front? The English part is 100% bullshit white nationalism. If a company is willing to sponsor and pay all the taxes, it shouldn’t matter the language. Maybe I am biased by having gone through a work visa process in Sweden, but requiring companies to pay imported workers a fair wage is a good thing. Promotes talent domestically and helps workers who are getting visas.

I think a reasonable approach is to make policy that allows the nation to reap the benefits of immigration while also realizing that there will be losers of this immigration policy and to enact proactive measures that mitigate these loses. Unfortunately, the pro-immigration side only references the positive aspects of immigration while the anti side only cites the negatives.

I don't think Hank would leave it blank, they had a whole episode on how important not missing voting is. He might vote Johnson but would probably realize Christie is right "you're having fish or chicken", vote for Hillary, and not tell anyone. Hank values adults acting like adults and common sense.

I can end ALL illegal immigration in one sentence: Jail employers of undocumented workers.

I have no idea why the Democratic party's line is not: "businesses are abusing these desperate workers, and driving down YOUR wages. We need to send a message that people have worth, and they can't treat them like garbage and take money off of YOUR dinner table. It's time to ~~shoot employers in the loving face~~go after corrupt businesses"

Fully open borders would be absolutely ideal, but obviously that's not going to happen.

I think what they really need to do with H1-B visas is allow portability. The visa is tied to the job, which means if you lose the job, you lose the visa. Which means, basically, you're a slave. Because you worked really hard and don't want to the third world country you came from. So you accept getting poo poo on by your boss for 1/3 the wage. And the local talent can't compete because they don't want to be slaves. If you could take your H1-B visa and it just stayed valid for 5 years and automatically renews if you've maintained employment... then these guys that come over for tech work would have essentially the same bargaining power as local workers. Which is better for them, AND better for the local workers.

So on a lark I decided to see if there was any news on the impending US Default on goggle and go an article from the Mises Institute arguing that really a US default would be a good thing and that crypto currencies like Bitcoin would rise up and fix everything in the end cause really the worst damage a US default would do has already been done over a long stretch of time anyway :downs:

I don't get how people don't realize the value of the Bitcoin is pegged directly to the dollar in illegal drugs and porn. Like if the dollar defaults all your crypto currencies mean jack poo poo

Yeah, that's the real problem with the H1B right now.

A) The immigrant workers have no leverage because their options are 1) work for whatever the employer is offering or 2) lose the visa.

B) The entrenched workers lose a lot of leverage because they can be badly undercut because of A).

The only people who stand to benefit in the current system are corporations. Which, honestly, shouldn't be a surprise.

stephen miller called someone cosmopolitan today

stephen miller grew up in santa monica and went to loving duke, the whitest, richest university in the entire goddamn southeast. people from north carolina don't even go there. It's nothing but assholes from virginia that have UVA as their backup and kids from other parts of the country. It's an absolute poo poo stain of a school that produced richard nixon and a bunch of whiny white power forwards with acne who dive like italian soccer players.

here enjoy this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lapPykT6EQY

he is every loving duke grad ever, rolled into one balding-at-25 motherfucker who took the bus to franklin street to fail to get laid.

and the worst part of this racist rear end in a top hat is he's going to be bouncing around DC for the next 60 years. In between roles as a political consultant in republican administrations, he'll always be at the heritage foundation, or the NRA, or some other right wing horse poo poo. he will never go away.

We will always be dealing with him. he is the worst thing to come from my generation.
