“Is CBS living under a rock? They need to come to Houston. The city is just packed with illegal aliens and nobody speaks English here. I mean they do not understand a word of it.”

By the time I left the SW Houston area in ‘84, about 70% of the billboards were already in something other than English.

I always see a bunch of kids at the Y playing ball after school.

Back in the day I was cutting grass or some other kind of job.

So America needs the labor of a million or more unskilled, illiterate or barely literate workers who do not speak English and do not have the technical knowledge to operate so much as the cash register at McDonalds. I say BS.

We lost two vietnams worth of working people last year to fentanyl.

IRINA IVANOVA doesn’t get it.

India had thousands of people willing to ‘be journalists’ - and work for $20 bucks an hour. Maybe we’d have a journalists shortage too if all TV nets including CBS and newspapers were ONLY willing to pay writers twenty bucks an hour or less - no benefits.

Stop immigration/labor subsidies for businesses, and stop the low interest rates which have created mal-investment.

Let the labor market settle. Labor rates are too low.

Let’s F’in try capitalism for just once instead of the business labor free stuff of immigation and cheap money.

We don’t need another thousand fast food places. We need more manufacturing plants of higher value-added goods and for export too. These are better paying jobs, like that chip plant slated for Ohio outside Columbus.

You can’t blame Americans for being pissed off at low labor rates due to the madness of these hyper hyper rich like Bezos and the rest.

The worsening wealth concentration is going to destroy this country. The 99% are going to crush the 1% in riots, raids, assaults, murder, etc. We keep this up and socialism will start to look good to many Americans.

"No, no, no!!! Our labor problem is that our “safety net” is too generous and there is no incentive to work for too many. That is also why we are flooded with illegals. They are not coming for the American dream. They are coming for the American dollar they will receive for contributing nothing."

Who the f^ck do you think you are fooling? It's bad enough, 'El Padre', that you are a puta Putlim, but your troll game always been a Sino-s^cking mandarin mendicant, as completely given away by your posting game.

50+ posts in just the past 6 months from pro-Putin, Viktor Medvedchuk-controlled websites 112.international/112.ukraine. Medvedchuk among the top-3 Ukranian quislings Pootlin was hoping to install as Soviet puppet-state comrade-in-queef.

But as an autobot troll, you've trashed this site 70+ times in 6 months from pro-China/pro-CCP websites -- intolerable.

Look at this ... I SAID LOOK AT THIS, you f'ing freak!

"H1B" as your keyword? YOU are an "H1B" troll, as unwanted as every H1B Xi kneepadder invading the US to attempt to destroy the United States of America.

"Ying them", as your tagline? A Chinese epithet -- ho ho ho fucking ho.

You will meet the same fate as your trolling comrade Qilin, who got shitcanned after the case I built against him overwhelmed the moderators.

Your zot is coming like one of your shitty Sino derailed bullet trains, so post your f'ing brains out while you still can, Comrade Compadre.

US needs more Asians to avoid demographic death ---- A skills-based immigration system could halt the demographic winter that has descended on America

“CBS is only talking about legal immigrants.”

We don’t need any more of them either - corporate welfare queens need to start paying market rates for labor.

50 years plus a demand of assimilation should do the trick.

That’s two generations.

I hear ya. If we can’t cover it in 50 years, we probably
couldn’t in 99.
