This article should have been written 50 years ago. The Free Traitors and open borders one-world globalists want to take 99% of american workers down to 3rd world serf status so they can make a few extra bucks at their fellow Americans expense

Funny about Japan. Our open border crisis isn’t poor people seeking agricultural work. We already had a process in place for that. It’s the underclass of the world, seeking free handouts from the taxpayer.

An invading army of 9 million and counting are within our territory and the Kocks and their likes are fully in favor of it.

Refeudalization.

It’s a natural tendency of mankind for the rich to get richer, and consequently they oppress others if not for a conscious decision to equality under the law. That’s why the Founders wanted our American “civic religion” to be taught to children in school and in the home. Because it is a transcendent philosophy to allow upward mobility through education—bringing talent and hard work to the forefront.

Now the left even despises merit and talent. Losers.

I have long since stopped viewing the WSJ as any more than a globalist rag.

The remedy is to keep them out (the Republican solution), not to let them in and make them unemployable welfare moochers by raising the minimum wage (the Democrat “solution”).

The post WWII “American dream” of a working class economically in the middle class — the ruling class has crushed it. Long term project starting in the 1960s with de-industrialization.

Canada has an interesting approach. Agricultural workers can legally enter the country, but they can’t bring their families. They must return to Mexico to collect their pay, which pretty much guarantees they won’t be staying.

Not to worry. The cheap labor express ends after one generation when the newly-minted citizens organize.

That may be the “MAGA Solution”, it sure as hell isn’t the “Republican Solution”.

Here is the dirty secret most Americans do not un understand, the main support for “service economies” is cheap labor. Our despicable establishment would rather rule over poor slaves than answer to prosperous citizens.

The post-WW2 “American Dream” was delusional nonsense that only existed because the U.S. was the only industrial power to emerge from the war with its infrastructure and industrial capacity unscathed by the war.

The 1960s were the period when reality started to set in.

The illegals he hires will eventually take over his farm and boot him and his family out.

The “cheap labor” dream is just that - a dream. These so-called migrants aren’t cheap when you consider the societal and public resource requirements they bring with themselves.

Schools - increased student loads per teacher with the addition of more foreign-speaking educators required. Increased discipline and remediation problems. Violence and mayhem often the norm.

Public resources - increased reliance on public support mechanisms that run the full gamut from housing to subsistence and dealing with the inevitable crime foreign enclaves bring with them.

In every case where a mass influx of these ‘migrants’ is seen, there are corresponding ousters of the support mechanisms for historical, local indigents and people needing help. Often, lickspittle governments prioritize services and support for ‘migrants’ over their own people..

It won’t be long until their entire families - then entire village - shows up and settles in - and why not?

They get free everything including schooling for their kids.

The new slavery is open borders slavery, with the slaves paying their own passage. Pretty sick really.

Agree

The Free Traitors and open borders one-world globalists want flat line wages the more poor people you have the easier it is to control them.
