Reply #32: Does anyone really believe that low wages are the fault of illegal immigration? [View All]

That's just scapegoating a bunch of people. Union busting begun long before illegal immigration had any effect on wages. Non union construction workers who were not illegals worked for less than union workers did long before illegal immigration had any effect on wages.

I think it is just sickening the way some of us blame illegals for all the troubles in our lives. If you chose to remain unskilled you chose to compete with an ever increasing mass of people and you will never make a good wage illegal being here or not!

I am disappointed at a board were we care more about animals being mistreated than we do about people just because the way they got here.

If you would see that all of us are in this fight together and joined together rather than let the man pit us against each other we would be too fucking powerful to mess with!

Several OP's this week are like this one, feigning compassion then kicking people in the ass at the end.

Either you are compassionate or you are not, you don't get to pick who you are compassionate toward.


Do any of you realize the power the illegals can muster? Do you know about the living wage laws put in place in Santa Monica and Los Angeles? Did you see the millions marching in the streets? How many of us can put that kind of power in place. NONE OF US! You know why? Because you sit on your asses and piss and moan that your being treated unfairly by someone! No one is going to come to your rescue. Get off you pitty pots and quit blaming others and get your ass in the streets!


Everything that illegals gain for themselves in the way of fairness accrues to all of us! We all could be making a living wage if we stuck together! What a bunch of fools we are!
