1. True words.

Lot of that in south Texas.

2. So displaced workers whose greedy employers replaced them

with foreign workers are "failed at life"? We're blaming the victims here?
I agree, the foreign workers are not to blame either, they just want a job themselves. But how is an engineer who has been replaced by an H1-B visa worker "failed at life"? Or call center workers whose jobs have been moved overseas? Put the blame where it belongs, on business and the politicians who support these shenanigans, not the workers!

3. So in your view, a displaced worker is someone that has totally failed in life?

Interesting. I was thinking of another group completely different than that.

6. Sorry your reading comprehension skills are so poor

Displaced workers are victims of greedy corporations, NOT foreign workers, but some DO blame foreign workers for their plight (even on this sight). It's terrible FOR THE VISUAL IN THE OP to indicate they've "failed at life" because their jobs were moved overseas.

7. You mean like a slacker?

I happen to be a slacker and I'm offended by your insinuation that we are failures. I'm quite satisfied with my life. Slackers know how to disconnect from the corruption that permeates the system. I would call that a giant success.

11. In answer to your questions...

No.

12. I logged out and saw your response

about the context of the OP to someone I have on my ignore list, which I did not see. So I apologize for jumping to conclusions.

14. No problem

Thanks for letting me know and glad you got to see the context.

4. BNP = British National Party

What's the source of this?

[Turborama]

5. Actually, it's a parody of a UKIP poster.BNP is added to their pound sign symbol for added effect...

9. Interesting

Thanks for providing the context!

8. Some billboard parodies that were doing the rounds leading up to the last election...

10. Maybe the OP can explain

Who is exactly "failed at life" and blaming foreign workers? "Poor choices" sounds like right wing speak.

15. But what if a company lays you off and hires foreign workers for cheaper?

Is that worker that was layed off still a "failure at life?"

Isn't this what many IT firms are doing by taking advantage of the HIB visa worker program? I know that a company Disney contracts just recently did it to save labor costs. They even made the layed off workers train their foreign replacements.

I guess it was just a "poor choice" as you say for that worker to take a job that an immigrant can do for cheaper. The corporations would love you.

16. It's mocking people who blame all their mistakes on foreigners instead of taking accountability

and learning from them. Using foreigners as scapegoats is a common reason for the growth of anti-immigration hysteria in the UK, where this comes from.

And in answer to your question, no.
