What exactly was untrue about this?
Everything. The entire premise that they've been "sent" by mysterious forces and that they're "bringing crime." Being poor doesn't make you a criminal but that would be the assumption from a white privileged asshole like Trump. The fact is undocumented immigrants are far less likely to engage in violent crime than say, the white privileged Trump lover who is still moaning about losing that drywall job to Enrique. That's just a fact. So what Trump was doing was just flat out lying to energize an group of people who are pissed off in ignorance.

"Relative to native-born citizens and legal immigrants, undocumented immigrants have the lowest felony arrest rates across all four crime types. For violent, property, and drug offenses, legal immigrants occupy a middle position between undocumented immigrants and US-born citizens. The gaps between native-born citizens and undocumented immigrants are substantial: US-born citizens are over 2 times more likely to be arrested for violent crimes, 2.5 times more likely to be arrested for drug crimes, and over 4 times more likely to be arrested for property crimes.

The American worker was looking for someone willing to recognize the truth about illegal immigration for 50 years.
No, the American racist was looking for someone to gaslight them on things that make their racist sensibilities feel validated. Real American workers with high work ethic don't fear competition.

Why is a country that is $20 trillion in debt looking to ramp up it's social welfare responsibilities? Even the amount of taxes that Kevin Graham supposedly pays won't even put a dent it what that will cost us.
It has already been pointed out to you ad nauseum that the economic benefit provided by undocumented immigrants outweigh the costs. But weird how you have no problems with rich white people avoiding taxes all together, but bitch and moan because the guy mowing your neighbor's lawn didn't pay any income tax on that. You might as well bitch about virtually every waiter and bar tender because I can assure you they don't report their actual wages.

Deomcrat elites in big government and big corporations just do not care about native born American citizens. This $15/hr minimum wage is a joke.
Why is it a joke you dumb rube? Everyone else's wages increase every year because of inflation but the minimum wage stays the same no matter what. How does that make sense? Bill O'Reilly used to tell everyone he only made $2 hour throwing newspapers, but what he didn't indicate is that $2 in 1955 is like $19 today. Over time as more and more Republicans take control, the real value of the minimum wage diminishes over time, leaving more and more people in poverty.

Having said that, the minimum wage has been raised in numerous states during the Trump administration resulting in overall wage growth which he tries to take credit for. None of those states have made emergency corrections to their minimum wage increases because they work.

Violence the New Republican Norm

Post by Moksha »

In a column for the conservative Bulwark, two high-ranking officials in the Wisconsin Republican Party revealed that they tried to pass a resolution condemning violence by either side of the political sphere only to see it shot down by extremist members drawn to the party by Donald Trump.
"Therefore Be It Resolved that the Republican Party of Oconto County, in caucus assembled:

Opposes violence as a means to any political end; and condemns all political violence of the past year, be it by members of political parties or organizations in support of political parties or their agendas; and condemns any ongoing or future violence, as well as incitement to same, used as a method to achieve political ends.
According to the two officials, it was shot down by a 55-45 percent margin.

It is important to understand Republicanism and its transition to stupidity and fascism:

Why is it a joke you dumb rube?
Will illegal immigrants be getting paid $15/hr or more as well?
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

Most of them get paid more than that already. You're just too ignorant on the subject. The minimum wage isn't about immigration.

Then why do we need a minimum wage if the market has already pushed wages above $15/hr?

Once the left has enough votes to secure power, there will be no more push to legalize illegal immigrants. The truth is that people like Icarus need illegal immigrants the same way plantation owners needed slavery. Lucky for Icarus things are so permanently awful in Latin America, the cheap labor supply is infinite and there will always be more illegal people willing to come in and work for less.

Ahhh, the GOP, the party of stupid.

Just noting the popularity of Hannity, Carlson, and Shapiro should tell you: the party is dominated by damned moronic assholes.

Lucky for GOP politicians things are so permanently awful in the right wing base, the idiot supply is infinite and there will always be more morons willing to come vote for blatant liars and incompetent assholes.

Every time I see a non-white citizen of this country, I smile knowing that their presence irritates the morons in this country. The more the morons fight it, the happier it makes me to welcome immigrants.

Perhaps changing the question slightly makes you realize how hopelessly damned stupid it was.
