U.S. Politics

[Joe Elliott]

I believe in the following three statements:

1. Billionaires make billions of dollars from immigrant labor each year. If they get $ 10,000 profit from each of the 10,000,000 immigrants, they make up to one hundred billion dollars each year from immigrant labor.

2. Billionaires will have a large amount of influence in the current Trump administration, and in state and local governments.

3. Billionaires will use this influence to prevent the bulk of the immigrants from being deported.

I wonder, which, if any of my three believes, are false?

If you want the immigrants kicked out, is someone like Trump the best man for the job? Shouldn't you guys look into getting legislatures and governors, etc., into office who are not funded by billionaires?

Just curious what people feel.

Once again, my beliefs are irrelevant but because I keep getting asked on this: I support the immigrants, believe the motive for kicking them out is based on racism and that people who want this done do not support basic American values. But the subject of my post is my three statements. Which of these are false?

  You see what is happening to the economies of these "sanctuary" states? Calif likes to brag about having the 4th largest economy in the world. Problem is, it is admittedly BILLIONS of $$ in debt, and getting worse by the day. These illegal alien/cheap labor/sanctuary state economies were thriving on illegal alien labor. Now that Trump is throwing illegals out of the USA, these "sanctuary" states are now seeing LEGAL RESIDENTS receive a competitive/fair wage. And then there's the issue of these same states padding their total population with illegals. This inflated population gives them more Congressional Reps which then translates into Fed $$$ being voted into their states through Congress. Like Calif with their Fed Funded Billion $$ "Bullet Train To Nowhere". Biden letting Millions upon Millions into the country is a total scam. And remember the, "10% For The BIG GUY". These millions of illegal aliens being waved into the country by Biden is graft on a YUGE Scale.

JE-

You raise interesting questions.

Trump has sealed off the southern border, and also changed terms of trade with China.

Billionaires (and, say, upper 10% of US population, income-wealth wise) are advantaged by cheap imported labor, and also loved doing business with the commies in China, as long as they provided the cheap labor.

This makes Trump a true oddity.

Trump is not a pawn of the most powerful and richest in the US.

That is not to say as saying I am Trump supporter. He has a difficult character and personality, is mercurial even on important issues (Russia), is given to hubris, short-sightedness. Trump's commentary on social media platforms cannot be parodied, as it starts off as self-parody.

That said, Trump may have developed a workable Middle East peace plan, and is properly doing away with DEI excesses.

Trump is sui generis.

Yet you clearly are.

Just curious:

Did you move to Thailand for financial reasons, "to see the world," for the you-know-what action, for the cuisine, for the humidity, for [fill in the blank], or because you were really, really fed up with "open borders" and the "woke" and all-too-intrusive federal government?
