Texas Governor to bus illegal aliens to Washington D.C.

[Subduction Zone]

Again that cost would be distributed over the entire hourly yield, pennies.

What do you think those guys outside of home depot want? A builder friend of mine told me that they've wised up. They want the going rate. They want you to pick them up, drop them off, and buy them lunch.

You tried what in years past?

Reality disagrees with you. Once again, look at what the Japanese have to pay for their locally produced fruits and vegetables. They do not have a source of inexpensive labor.

The only immigrants we need are ones who are at least willing to enter the country the legal way. If they can't be bothered to do even that, we don't need them at all.

Uh huh . . . Just keep telling yourself that. If you complained about gas prices at all you already refuted yourself.

Are illegals who cross the border and evade Border Patrol agents going to bring down the price of gas?

Probably. They have no demand for gas so the supplies will increase. And I'm sure the green folks are envious of their ability to pack half a county into one cargo van.

That is your opinion and would almost certainly have excluded your ancestors. How do you justify the change?

Many employers offer what the federal government feels is a perfectly acceptable wage

Maybe that's why they can't find people to fill those positions. Fortunately for them, they can fill some of them due to the labor market being saturated by illegals.

If an employee is not willing to work for the wage an employer is offering, then they can keep looking to find work that pays what they are willing to work for (that they are qualified for) or they can increase their skill set to earn a higher wage (if they can afford to). I have turned down jobs that paid subpar for my field, and I am sure lots of folks have done so also.

..and if the labor market is saturated; and the competition for jobs is fierce;, they can keep looking until they wake up from that dream.

ETA as far as I know we are not "propping up the business", we are propping up the employees with federal aid.

Saturating the labor market with illegals, who will compete for jobs at rock bottom wages, does not aid the American worker.

LOL! Oh my, when you do not understand an argument ask proper questions. False assumptions built into a question automatically disqualify it.

Does Governor Abbot intend to force people upon these buses? If so I can't wait to see him get arrested for kidnapping.

Employers are not offering enough moola is why they can’t find workers but immigrants are also concurrently driving wages down, (somehow).

How much was tuition @ Trump University?

Apples and oranges. The U.S. is a world leader in agriculture. We have the real estate; and we have the petroleum required for petroleum based pesticides, petroleum based fertilizer, the petroleum to till the fields, the petroleum to harvest the fields, and to transport the product to market.

Did you know that, all told, it takes one pound of petroleum to deliver one pound of produce to your table?

If I've called this wrong; will you thank Abbot for curing the urban decay of D.C.?

I've already explained this ad nauseam. Labor is a commodity just like anything else. It's subject to the effects of supply and demand.

 

[Valletta]

Yeah. seriously? That's a new one.

Russia hires Syrian mercenaries, they can be quite brutal.

That was on the news on France 24 a month ago. Notorious for killing all men women and children who are seen as infidels. Like setting a kid loose in a candy shop. Mercenary force. Can they be held to the rules of war?

 

[Aldebaran]

That is your opinion and would almost certainly have excluded your ancestors. How do you justify the change?

My ancestors didn't need to buy a child from a trafficker to apply for asylum. Didn't bring any Fentanyl with them either.

 

[HARK!]

Who are you going to blame if the price of your strawberries, lettuce, and various other fresh fruits and vegetables triple?

The cost of produce won't triple; unless you are speaking of the cost of illegal drugs coming over the border. They just might. I'm OK with that.

 

[Aldebaran]

LOL! Oh my, when you do not understand an argument ask proper questions. False assumptions built into a question automatically disqualify it.

Oh my! I notice you couldn't answer the question.

Are they being "forced" onto busses that go anywhere else? Are they forced to board the planes that take them to New York, or anywhere else in the country they choose to go? Probably not. So why would they have to be forced to get on a bus that takes them all the way to the nation's capital? That's where the richest people in America live! Who, after crossing the border into this country seeking a better life, wouldn't jump at the chance to go to the place where all the money is?

Good reason for the citizens of Ukraine to get the firearms training--and the rifles--that were being offered just before the invasion.

Oh my, please if all you have are false claims that you cannot support you might as well admit defeat right now.

 

[Subduction Zone]

I did not have to. It was a failed question. Don't blame others for your failures.
