But this isn't even "replacement" migration. To say that kinda sounds white supremacist. The reality is, most of the people coming are good Christian people. Yeah, there are some rotten apples in the lot, but not most. What this migration does in the short-term, though, is kill blue collar jobs. It hurts the most vulnerable members of our American society. Knowing that and then listening to our politicians spew bullshit about the need to raise minimum wage just makes my head spin.
If we did not send our jobs to Mexico, China, or elsewhere and we didn't bust the knee cap of American workers by allowing cheaper labor to come flooding into the country, we would not have to have a law forcing a higher minimum wage. Trump had the unemployment rate so low that employers were starting to fight for better employees. People were starting to see hope with rising wages.
There is another longer-term reality that will hit America with all of this immigration. Those immigrants are going to keep black people in poverty. If I were a black man, I would be up in arms about this. I have witnessed the effects even in my local community. Jobs that used to be held by black folks where I live are now held by Hispanic immigrants. I cannot say if they are legal or not, but they were clearly first-generation immigrants as it's obvious English is not their native language. Whole businesses in my area have switched from hiring black people to predominantly hiring Hispanic immigrants, including fast food, landscaping, painting, etc.
I'm not at all opposed to immigrants coming into America. I don't think most Trump supporters are. However, we cannot do it at the detriment of American citizens. And that is exactly what is happening. We are sending jobs out of the country, pushing wages down on the low-end with illegal immigrants, and eroding jobs with technology like this new robot will be doing.
You focus too much on jobs and Economics without realizing that A nation is not all about money and jobs. That is why People say MAGA lacks tribal awareness; Most people here are white and You don't realize that this immigration is different from the immigration pre-1965.
Of course I realize the immigration is different than before. However, since I'm not racist it doesn't matter to me. A steady influx of people, regardless of race, is fine, so long as they assimilate into the American culture. The real problem is a lack of assimilation and forming "groups" that oppose other groups.
The left does this in every possible way, including groups based on race, groups based on sex, groups based on sexual preference, groups based on sexual identity, etc. And they then go around bashing every other group. That's the problem this country faces.
Think about this a bit. If you think in-group preference is a problem, the reason for that is the fact that the left is forming these groups. Where I live, the county is about 20% black or so. People largely get along great. We also have a large Asian and Hispanic population. But every time I see strife and one group calling out another group for any reason, it's liberal ideologies at play.
In-group preference is the norm. The only thing the left is doing is leaning into it for POCs and forming a coalition of the POCs against whites. Whites are the only group for which in-group preference is demonized, a legacy of the Frankfurt school.
