America is one giant playground for the elites who have engaged in harmful arbitrage profiteering schemes.

They displaced our labor using cheap visa workers; off-shored manufacturing; & purposefully bankrupted companies for stock wins.

Destruction for profit.
The Boeing Company was once driven by innovation. Then an MBA-finance type CEO took over & started looking for quick shortcuts to increase profits. Result: two plane crashes.

Disney had a cutting-edge IT team consisting of high-skilled American workers who were good at what they did. Disney decided to lay them off but not before training their foreign H-1B replacements. They were forced into early retirement.

Progressives often look to Denmark as a beacon of success & want those successes replicated in the US.

What Progressives fail to address is Denmark’s restrictive immigration policies. They have a Social Democrat/Liberal (party) PM who is an immigration restrictionist.
The Danes aren’t anti-immigrants. They just understand that a more lenient immigration policy would create an economic burden to the country because of their numerous social welfare programs (healthcare, education, paid vacation, etc), & effect on wages.

@SenSanders knew this:
Denmark has a capitalistic system that ensures their citizen’s benefit first. They realize there’s no utility in having a country if the majority of their people are suffering. They don’t try to make a quick buck by screwing over their citizens as is emblematic in the US.

Would you like to comment on the immigrants waving the India, South Korea, South Vietnam, and “Iranians for Trump” flags at the Capitol fiasco?
Does @AlexNowrasteh have a comment about 9/11?

"Illegal bad, more legal good"

The @GOP inaccurately claims to think that our government and taxpayers are able to keep up with the masses of people if they only happen to come in "legally".
The GOP will constantly ramble about how illegal immigration is bad. Truth be told, they love undocumented workers. Why? Because they can exploit them and increase their profit margins because these workers have no choice. Look at Gov. Ricketts R-NE:
Why is Gov. Ricketts (R-NE) allowing meatpacking factories to hire undocumented workers? Why isn't he prosecuting these businesses if he is so against illegal immigration?

Reality is that Ricketts et al. see undocumented workers as a benefit because it enriches his funders.

In which Noah uses the “broken window fallacy” to justify why immigration doesn’t reduce wages...
For those who don’t know what the Broken Window Fallacy is, you can read up on it below.

investopedia.com/ask/answers/08…
Essentially what Noah is saying is that because immigrants not only work, but they “also buy stuff”, that implies wages go up for the labor to produce that “stuff”. A child breaking a window doesn’t mean it’s a good thing because it creates a job for a window repairman.

.@jimmy_dore is right about @RepAOC. She has embraced the neoliberal agenda. Simon Lester, associate director at Koch-funded CATO retweeted this.
Charles Pfizer was an established German businessman and scientist before he relocated to the United States in 1848 - a period when the US had no immigration laws. He cofounded Pfizer with his brother in 1849 (one year later).
As the number of new migrant arrivals started skyrocketing in the 1880s, economic conditions began to worsen in some parts of the country which led to formal immigration policy being implemented by the government.

A person as uninformed on the H-1B program as you has little recourse than to throw cheap insults.
The only thing you want is cheap labor. The more compliant & more exploitable the better for you & your corporate ilk. That is the only value you see in Indians coming on the H-1B.
It's rhetoric like this from David Bier (CATO) that has encouraged H-1Bs from India to resort to harassment tactics against anyone who speaks against their racist S386 immigration bill. Has Bier spoken against the hateful tactics used against @SenatorDurbin by his supporters? Image
Next time @Haleaziz has a dialogue with David Bier (CATO), he should ask Bier why he likes to pit Indians against the Iranians, who have been the most vocal against bill S386, and why he thinks they are all "pizza makers" instead of skilled-workers. Image
