Chamber of Commerce Demands More Immigration: ‘U.S. Is Out of People’ [Breitbart]

Now before you go, "lul, Breitbart! Lul, dude? Like, Breitbart? Lul, I am literally shaking my head at how low we've sunk and how stupid some people are", (as you peruse 1,001 media outlets that all have supported whoever the DNC has nominated for the last 20+ years), I'll have you know that I get my info from a wide range of sources!
Most, I must admit, are complete shit.
But, such is the state of American media where nobody *buys* media anymore. NYT, WaPo, LA Times, Atlantic, Salon, Variety, New Yorker has some good cultural / metapolitical stuff, etc etc. Back during the 2016 election, BB was one of the only outlets to call a Trump election *possible* and wasn't onboard the 90% Hillary / "Hillary Doesn't Need White Men" camp.
In general, I don't like conflict. (Then, whythefuckaIhere?) And yet, I care about this country (and world.)
Blah blah blah, I won't be in your hair long. Just wanted to drop this off as a peace offering. Both sides *could* be working together to raise the wages of the American citizens who are here legally.
That is all. Have a great rest of your day I'm splitting before I say something (else) I regret.
Chamber of Commerce Demands More Immigration: ‘U.S. Is Out of People’:
Quote:
Specifically, Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Tom Donohue said the U.S. needed more legal immigration so that corporations and business secure a never-ending flow of cheaper labor, claiming the country is “out of people.”
And they’re still looking to work with Trump even on areas where they’re not really in agreement, such as immigration. The Chamber advocates for protecting the “dreamers” from deportation and expanding rates of legal immigration. “The fundamental issue is that the United States of America is out of people,” said Donohue. “We have the lowest unemployment we’ve had in 65 years. We have brought more people back into the workforce and still have the lowest unemployment.” [Emphasis added]
Clue: look past the sensationalist headline EVERY SINGLE TIME....
This one, for the sake of convenience and being able to find it yourself, is titled, "The Daily 202: The U.S. Chamber wants to disentangle its brand from the GOP and hopes to rebuild the center" but, usually, that's just some fkn editor trying to get a jab in. You have to actually read the fucking content before coming to a solid conclusion. jesus. Quit letting Washington Post and MSNBC do your thinking for you. "BIG IDEA" .."THE TAKE AWAY"..."MOST PEOPLE ARE THINKING"....are all clues that they're trying to do your thinking for you.
Anyways, for the sake of bipartisanship here's a WaPo article covering the same thing....with the CoC link contained therein. Ciao!
Here's the two articles, you can guess who is who by the position they take on the same CoC action:

There's a lobbying group called "The U.S. Chamber of Commerce"?
That's fucked up.

Makes sense , California farmers love immigrant labor . Just can’t get spoiled young people who grow up here to work the fields these days . They would rather sit in offices , sip pumpkin spice lattes and play with their phones all day . We should offer a pathway to citizenship for all of the illegals here currently working .

It's funny, about 4 weeks ago after a Federal Reserve meeting the media asked Powell why wages remained weak despite moderate GDP growth and his answer was quite surprising. He stated that globalization and unreliable unemployment statistics were the real reasons why wage growth would remain stagnant in the years ahead and that he couldn't do anything about it.
In other words, there's plenty of labor available on the lower end of labor market and stop asking him about the wage issues anymore because it's structural in nature.

Agree with the pathway to citizenship, for people who have been here years and grew up here. And agree with Cesar Chavez that wages are never going to raise if we keep letting illegals over the border.
Gotta say, I voted for Obama, volunteered for FoodNotBombs for about 5 years, marched at the front of a few large anti-War rallies. I can honestly tell ya'll... it'll be a cold fucking day in Hell before I even considered supporting the Democrats and that's 100% 80-90% on the behavior of many of their supporters. It's that fucking bad. lol, some of ya'll mf'er that fucking smug and repulsive. The same way I shied from Republicans because of their association with old, shitty, greedy, asshole white dudes. The DNC is cancer now. The most vocal axe grinding drum beaters of this site are the very ones that ensure...ensure that nobody will ever change their mind. And, I'll just leave it at that.

The idea that both major parties in the US are shit isn't all that controversial around here. The fact that republicans are so far and away mpre obviously deplorable lends to the illusion that many rational posters in this sub are democrats. Off hand, i can say with confidence that neither I, TheEcstatic, Fal or shivas.wisdom identify as democrats, for example.

Eh, the voting public has been pretty well inoculated, there's a solid base that will knee-jerk vote no on any increase in minimum wage. Now, the funny thing about college students...they need a job to pay off those loans, but they aren't too picky. Chances are, they can still pick up a few hours from their side hustle during school, which means offering them a lab tech slot for 2$/hr more than McDs gives you a capable worker.
Oh, and that worker is in debt and needs to make payments.
