so many liberals trot this talking point out with this smug air of superiority over “the racist conservatives” as tho they themselves aren’t ALSO fucking racist conservatives

this lazy pig says “you cant pay us enough to do it!!”— yes they fucking can. you’re telling me if these jobs paid a decent wage americans wouldn’t want to do them? american plumbers are literally willing to swim in oceans of shit and piss for like 47k/yr, you think those people wouldnt be willing to pick strawberries if it paid decently rather than the 7/hr they give the slaves (the undocumented workers) to do it?

i dont know this woman’s background but she spews nothing but bourgeois white supremacy regardless. fuck her and this bullshit speech. immigrants should be here and they should be getting paid fairly for the work they do just like american born citizens should be paid fairly for the work we do- which we arent. almost like these people have never heard of the concept of a wage floor, IE, the wage all other wages are relative to; meaning your boss can pay you shit because someone else’s boss pays them slightly shittier and then your boss can turn around and say “see look i pay you more than them so stop complaining”

“you cant pay us enough to do it!!”

That should be "you won't pay us enough to do it!"
