Texas could reduce immigration demand unilaterally by prosecuting people who hire undocumented workers.
They don't, because they want a permanent underclass to exploit.
This is a stunt for the base to make it look like the GOP hates the status quo, but this is the system that they've intended all along: it provides cheap labor for their donors and red meat for the people who hate immigrants and cities. They're playing both sides of their coalition.
And I'd be all for that. I'm gleeful over the coyote felony law being implemented in Florida.
But they don't do it.
Which is my point.
Because it's about creating a permanent underclass.
So you're being used.
So let's hold hands and sing in front of some candles while some signs are being shown saying make any hiring or helping or even any conversing with illegal aliens a felony. Where will we hold this vigil?
You seem like a very serious person who has thought deeply about this issue.
My favorite part is how I explained twice how Republican politicians are not interested in fixing this and you refuse to engage with it either time.
That's the conservative calling card: pretend like you've got everything figured out, and when the obvious flaws are pointed out to you just pretend like we're talking about something else.
Yes, I'm sure you're a very serious and intellectually honest person who just needs to switch topics for very good reasons other than having no rebuttal.
i legitimately laughed at this comment rofl
nail on the head
You said your point was something wasn't being done, I said let's do something to get it done. I'm sorry if you don't actually want that thing done, my mistake for assuming you meant what you said.
And here I thought your philosophy was
But Republicans always think they get a special exception, so that tracks after all.
So to be clear, you do or don't want it to be illegal to hire illegals?
I think we're done here.
I have no interest in "debating" with a meme machine.
No just a yes or no, you either can or can't answer the question. You said that was your point, that they don't do it, so don't back down now, unless you want to rethink your position.
