Businesses can't grow if people don't have jobs to get money to give to businesses so they can grow and make jobs.

What, are you saying we should just give people money so they can spend it to create jobs so they can get more money to spend? That's communism and we're capitalists here buddy where people have to work to earn their luxurious living.

Also the whole 'work' argument would be better suited to being discussed as an 'employment' argument.

There's plenty of work to be done, there's just no one employing anyone to do it because it's not immediately profitable, and may only profit society rather than a singular entity.

One might even ask: 'What Is To Be Done?'

if you take seriously the idea that opposition to immigration is about 'jobs' you're a loving moron

all, all, of the rhetoric was about 'immigrant crime'

It's also so that "but what if we let them in as an effective slave class" seems like a compromise rather than the win condition everyone is striving for.

Luv 2 watch cable news at my cocktail parties

Obama posted:

"If what you are doing requires no sacrifice at all, then you can do more," Obama told the tony crowd at a sweeping multi-million-dollar Beverly Hills home. "If you are one of these folks who is watching cable news at your cocktail parties with your friends and you are saying 'civilization is collapsing' and you are nervous and worried, but that is not where you are putting all your time, energy and money, then either you don't actually think civilization is collapsing ... or you are not pushing yourself hard enough and I would push harder."

I think it depends on your definition of open borders, if by open borders you mean an accessible immigration process that allows (almost) anyone who wants to immigrate the ability to and a demilitarized border that's good and what we've had for most of US history.

yea this is my definition but I assume open-border advocates are using the other definition.

saying more immigrant workers don't economically hurt american workers is like saying chinese workers don't hurt american workers

of course capitalists use increased labor supply to exploit their labor force further

the root of the problem here is absurd capitalist exploitation that causes workers to be worse off when there is more productivity

lmao somehow the question how to pay for it only gets asked for programs that benefit poor people.

quote:

Ocasio-Cortez calls for single-payer healthcare, the abolition of ICE, and free college for all. Forget about the underlying arithmetic and how to pay for all of it – which either requires sky-high taxation or flat-out sorcery. Rather, this is a cultural manifesto, a cry for open borders, and a demand for one ginormous nausea-inducing free lunch.

not only programs that benefit poor people

remember when the Dems tried to grill Trump on how he was going to pay for the wall, and then campaigned on how ridiculous his answer was, and then won bigly in 2016 because voters really care about "but how do we PAY for this?" concern trolling on things they want?

It's because pundits live in the past they get confused by candidates like Bernie and Ocasio.

It's also important to note that this upset victory was won by just 4000 votes and this result blocked Pelosi's corporate dem Crowley from keeping his position.
