Been thinkin'. Got a little food for thought I'll share with y'all.
People seekin' a better life here in our country are lured by the chance to find work, and they are willin' to work hard. They don't find work here because they pushed someone out of line, they find work because there are people that are anxious to exploit 'em by payin' 'em less, not matchin' FICA, not offerin' holidays/sick days, safe working conditions required by law... Even refusin' to pay 'em for time worked or time and a half for any hours over forty in a week. (That last one? That's what that phrase "Wage Theft" refers to. Think of it as makin' your employee act as your part-time slave. That sums it up nicely.) All in the name of Increased Profits, aka More Friggin' Money.
The "Illegals" ain't takin' jobs from Americans. Businesses are. It's scarcely different than when American Jobs are moved Overseas. It's the Same Sorta Thing for the Exact Same Reason- Increased Profits.
If many of our politicians, particularly Those on the Right, have their way, (which is the Way of Those To Whom They Are Beholdin'), the jobs that have left this country may possibly one day return. After the destruction of safety requirements, the right to bargain collectively, the rights to safe food, water. air, after the repeal of the Minimum Wage, Child Labor Restrictions, Overtime Pay, Social Security, Unemployment Insurance, Protection from Discrimination, etcetera, perhaps then these so-called "Corporate Leaders" may decide to move jobs back here to the country that provided 'em the opportunity to prosper and profit in the first place.
When Our Middle Class has been sufficiently beaten down and forced into a dangerous, unhealthy subsistence living, then some of our jobs may return. If They feel like bringin' 'em back. But no guarantees! They don't have to guarantee anything. Just like They don't have to guarantee job creation or any other types of returns in exchange for more and more tax cuts, these self-described "Job Creators". And we'll be expected to grovel and show Our Everlastin' Gratitude, gratitude for bein' given the opportunity to dine on their Scraps as they grow ever fatter as Our Unfortunate starve and die.
Huh. I just described a Third World Country, didn't I? Just the kinda place where they shipped our jobs to begin with...
Now how crazy is that!
