I had thought Ron DeSantis was well educated, which technically he is, but his new immigration bill designed to boost his presidential credentials will quite literally DESTROY the Florida economy. The rich white folk and a few token rich Black folk, would have you believe that immigrants are responsible... for everything that’s wrong in America, when really THEY are the problem. The service industry, agriculture and construction industry would collapse without immigrant labor which Florida is about to discover. It’s AMERICANS that employ illegal immigrants and create a demand. They don’t do it because they follow Christian teaching they do it for PROFIT. In 1 stupid move, DeSantis have voice to the power illegal immigrants across the nation. Building sites are instantly like ghost towns, crops will rot in fields and I’m sure the same white folk will blame immigrants for that too saying they are irresponsible for walking off the job. There’s an awakening coming. The profitability of the US economy exists because of cheap immigrant labor doing the Jobs Americans will not lower themselves to do. The Republicans want voters to hate the very people that feed them and build the homes they live in. It’s the definition of STUPIDITY. #DemsAct #DemVoice1 #wtpBLUE #ONEV1 #FAM46show more

Every immigrant that comes to America and completes paperwork should get an immigrant ID number right away. They can then work and have taxes take out, providing more income for the U.S. Government. Win-win.

Ah but that would not allow the MAGA Cartel to use them as political weapons of mass destruction.

Immigrants actually preserve the American way of life, perhaps its time for these Republicans to learn the hard way.

Immigrants will work with you instead of against you. Yet you still don’t want them here. Repubs are the ones who are stupid! #wtpBLUE

We need skilled immigrants to do construction work. There is a severe shortage of plumbers, HVAC, roofers, drywallers etc.

Thank you for the most honest post I have read ina long time! A lot of the folks we employ up here in upstate NY may or may not be legal. I don’t care. They are the hardest, most effective workers ever.They’re kind and prompt. I am so fortunate they are available to help me!

My pleasure. Truth does Matter and it is economically short sited to literally bite off the hand that feeds you. This isn’t about immigration it’s about weaponizing people fleeing persecution and poverty in search of a better life for political gain. They are hard workers with a sense of family, sound societal values and are grateful and respectful for the opportunities they are given.

“White people don’t want to do construction jobs” Well, they still do in parts of America that are majority white and their labor isn’t priced out by immigrants. The decline the quality of everything will continue to free-fall alongside the decline of the white population.

Hasan: The great irony is of course that Donald Trump is the son of an immigrant. The grandson of an immigrant and married to an immigrant. In fact two of his three wives were immigrants, proving yet again that immigrants will do the jobs that even Americans are not willing to do.

So Florida Farmers are letting their Watermelons rot in the fields because they have nobody to pick them since Trump decided to deport the immigrants that did these jobs. Americans won’t do these jobs and never will because they’re to physically & emotionally hard for them! 😡

Using the same methods we use to determine excess death in a given year, David Robb has found that data “suggests that 17% of registered voters in California, are illegally registered non-citizens.” I once thought that illegal immigrants had to check a box to indicate they are a citizen, and legally allowed to vote. It’s worse than that. When the DMV automatically registers people to vote, illegal immigrants actually have to check a box stating they are here illegally, thereby admitting to a crime on a legal document. Illegal immigrants are allowed to obtain drivers licenses in California. In order to NOT receive a ballot in the mail, these illegal immigrants would have to go on the record and state that they are indeed here illegally. Who in their right mind would admit - on the record - that they are here illegally? If they don’t, they will in fact receive a ballot in the mail. Someone tell me again how California elections aren’t rigged? When it comes time, the California election results should not be certified. There is no way to demonstrate that millions of illegal immigrants did not vote in the 2024 election. California elections are rigged, and it’s worse than any of the thought.

Malema is not wrong, decades of research consistently shows that mass expulsion of immigrants rarely improves unemployment. In fact, removing immigrants from a country often leads to higher unemployment and lower wages for the very people it was meant to help. The problem for Malema is that the people will not hear any of this. So, the back and forth will continue indefinitely because the powers that be will never substantially curb immigration (legal or illegal) because they already know how that ends. On the other hand, the masses will continue demanding what they want.

🚨 BREAKING: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis just went on an impassioned rant against Democrats obsessed with illegal aliens and it hits HARD. "We have angel moms in Florida...these Democrats have NEVER done ANYTHING to show any type of sympathy with the victims of illegal immigration." "The things that [Dems] are passionate about - have NOTHING to do with AMERICANS. They are VERY passionate about allowing people that have come to this country illegally, to remain indefinitely, and even running interference for criminal aliens." "They devote all their energy and attention to protesting people who are trying to *SOLVE* the issue of illegal immigration." "And I've just noticed that I don't see them fighting for the citizens. I see them fighting for their own ideology and their ideology is not effective or popular." "Man, this is really what they care about. They really care about an open border. They really want people to be able to not have consequences for coming into the country illegally." "And I just think it's bizarre that THAT is something they are so unbelievably passionate about. And it really is putting the people of this country last." 💯 Ron DeSantis

“Think about this. White People built the greatest country to ever exist on planet Earth and turned it into a world superpower in a matter of about 150-200 years.” “But now we’re told that we’re too lazy to build our own homes and pick our own vegetables and we need illegal immigrants from South America to do that for us.” I never buy that argument coming from the left. Americans have no problem doing those jobs. The problem is that they just don’t want to pay Americans a livable wage to do it. They would rather pay foreigners next to nothing and keep more profits.

To the accounts on X which publicize every crime that an undocumented immigrant commits: I could do the same thing for Christians, or White Men, or MAGA Supporters, or Republicans. That doesn’t mean they are the problem though. In fact according to data from Texas, when it comes to undocumented immigrants it’s the EXACT OPPOSITE. They are between 2-5X LESS Likely to commit Violent crime, Property crime and Drug crime. Would that mean that Undocumented immigrants are making us MORE SAFE on average per capita? It would seem so... For the record I am not at all saying we don't have a problem with immigration. We do, but please stop spreading false narratives that label groups of people as being bad when on average they are not.

.Ron DeSantis exposes how the Florida legislature’s “TRUMP Act” is just a slimy RINO plan to weaken Trump’s mass deportation efforts: “They thought if they came in, gutted the enforcement of doing what we need to do, and just named it the “Trump Act,” that somehow, they would be able to get away with that. You do have this desire for cheap illegal alien labor in some of these industries. I think that’s what these guys are trying to preserve. They’re actually taking away immigration enforcement authority from the governor and putting it in the Commissioner of Agriculture. That’s like the fox guarding the henhouse! They don’t want to enforce it. Are you kidding me?! Now, they’re bragging that they’re gonna spend money on giving beds to illegals. I don’t want to house the illegals. I want to DEPORT the illegals.”

In 1995, Bill Clinton got a standing ovation for “cracking down on illegal hiring” and for “barring welfare benefits to illegal aliens.” He openly said illegal aliens “imposed burdens on our taxpayers” through public services they used and that the jobs they took “might otherwise be held by citizens.” “All Americans… are rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country. The jobs they hold might otherwise be held by citizens or legal immigrants. The public service they use imposed burdens on our taxpayers.” “We are a nation of immigrants, but we are also a nation of laws. It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years, and we must do more to stop it.” *STANDING OVATION*

The South African Immigration Crisis And How It Can Fixed With A Long Term Solution The political and economic chaos in neighbouring countries around South Africa benefits businesses and opportunistic politicians in South Africa. That is why business doesn’t condemn the abuse of human rights, rigging of elections and corrupt rule in countries like Zimbabwe, it is not in their best interest to do so because they benefit from the outcomes of failed rule in Zimbabwe. How does this work? Zimbabwe’s unemployment rate is 95%, it has the highest inflation in the world (1266% per year), hospitals have collapsed, and it is hell on earth without any social welfare system due to the continued looting of public funds by the Zimbabwean tyrant and his goons. This pushes desperate and unemployed Zimbabweans to cross the border into South Africa to find a job, healthcare, and a better life. When they cross over into South Africa, either legally or illegally, and overstay, they become vulnerable to local businesses which offer them employment paying very low wages, they take the jobs because they are desperate to survive. Businesses or farm owners in Limpopo or on wine farms in Cape Town badly underpay them, knowing they have no recourse to the law because they are illegal, something that they cannot do to a South African citizen who is protected by the law. As this happens, wages drop because cheap labour is now available, and it is not unionised so they cannot fight for any rights to fair wages. These Zimbabweans, and Africans in general, will take anything to survive and see another day, they have families to feed back in their countries of origin. This disempowers the South African worker, who cannot negotiate for higher wages because that power has been eroded and taken away by the availability of cheap labour. Businesses, in turn, tell the locals to go hang if they try to negotiate for a living wage because they have cheap labour readily available, the illegal immigrant needs the job. The locals (South Africans) get angry and fight these illegal immigrants in their communities, leading to the emergence of vigilante groups and peripheral opportunistic political actors who exploit this to gain votes from locals who feel stifled and desperate in their own country. Cosmetic, choreographed police and immigration raids are carried out to appease the restive poor and unemployed South Africans. These illegal immigrants are deported on a Monday, and by Friday, they are back. This is known as the revolving door. The border officials are so corrupt that they facilitate this revolving door because they profit from it, so you cannot currently use immigration control to deal with this on land borders where people come by road. Some illegal immigrants do not even leave South Africa because the police who arrest them will also accept bribes. In this heated emotional debate in South Africa, no real solutions are proposed because opportunistic politicians simply shout “ABAHAMBE,” get some votes and repeat the same to remain relevant in public discourse. It is funny how it is so easy to appease voters with such empty slogans that do not bring any tangible solutions, but the desperate voter is fickle, they fall for anything. What these politicians do not say, or choose to ignore, is that when these illegals go, they will return the next day. It is an inconvenient conversation for politicians because it undermines their ability to mobilise votes. The root cause of this immigration crisis lies in Zimbabwean and African politics driven by corrupt rule, the abuse of human rights, and rigged elections. President Cyril Ramaphosa and his ruling ANC political party publicly support the authors of this crisis in Zimbabwe, so the root cause cannot be addressed at the source now until South Africans have an honest family conversation to deal with this once and for all. Unemployed Zimbabweans feel that the ANC and its government have a moral obligation to let them come because they are supporting corrupt rule in Zimbabwe, and they are doing so publicly. This is compounded by the cowardice of Zimbabweans and the dearth of any meaningful opposition leadership in that country. Yet we have a serios crisis. So, what do we do about it to resolve the illegal immigration nightmare in South Africa, which is driving wages down and enriching businesses and the political class? Someone must put meaningful proposals on the table because this has been with us for decades, and it remains unresolved. These proposals should not be rooted in emotional discourse, but practical realities that confront South Africa. This crisis can’t be resolved through political rhetoric or “Abahambe” or any empty Pan-African slogans which ignore the ongoing realities. Real leaders provide practical solutions and don’t do it for social media retweets or likes, but for solid and long term resolutions that that will fix the crisis. We know that wages are being pushed down for South Africans due to the availability of cheap labour from illegal immigrants, and that these illegal immigrants cannot demand better wages because they cannot approach the authorities or unionise, given their illegal immigration status. The only way out, to help local South African workers who refuse to work for a pittance in restaurants, and rightly so, is to legalise those already in South Africa, so that the authorities know who they are. You implement regulations ensuring that these workers can be employed and pay taxes, but also make sure that jobs must be offered to South Africans first, they do that in Zimbabwe with the little jobs available, and that is a standard practice the world over. Where no South African is willing to take up the job, it can be offered to a documented migrant, who will be paying taxes. It will now be easier to negotiate for better wages because all workers local and migrant will now be unionised, something that big business and the political class privately do not want because it takes away the power to undermine wage negotiations and to campaign for votes respectively. Wages will rise for South African workers because everyone will then be able to negotiate for a better wage without fear of being deported. Any company caught employing illegal immigrants will be shut down immediately using laws created to deal with this problem of greedy business owners taking advantage of illegal immigration, with all the money in its bank accounts seized by the State. This will stop the employment of anyone illegal and undocumented and will provide cover for those given an amnesty for documentation. I want to make this clear, South Africans will never be able to negotiate for a living wage if there are illegal immigrants, politicians will lie to the citizens but this is the unpalatable truth. Once this is resolved, opportunistic politicians will then focus on service delivery rather than gaslighting poor South Africans with “Abahambe,” knowing that when the illegals go, they will return tomorrow morning. When illegal immigrants are documented and have bank accounts, they will begin to pay taxes and can also become entrepreneurial, creating businesses that will employ more South Africans and contribute to economic growth of South Africa. Documenting illegals and gathering their biometric data will also reduce crime because undocumented immigrants can commit crimes and evade detection, as the South African state currently does not know who they are or where they live. When they work legally or open small businesses, they will contribute to the South African fiscus, which will fund the public hospitals they use and the schools their children attend. The revolving door applies to Africans who need visas too, they are deported to Nigeria, they acquire a new identity, fly to Zimbabwe and come to South Africa by road where they pay border officials a bribe and get it in. Zimbabwe is no longer a foreign policy issue only for the South African government, it is a domestic issue as well because of illegal immigration that has brought many Zimbabweans into South Africa. It is not their fault, they are also victims of a corrupt government and each time they try to vote out the regime in Harare, the ANC publicly support rigged elections and give diplomatic cover to the Zimbabwean tyrant Emmerson Mnangagwa. Refusing to document illegals hoping that deportations will solve the problem demonstrates incompetence and ignorance to how illegal immigration works. It will continue to perpetuate low wages for South Africans and those that shout “Abahambe” know this very well. Documentation will make it easy because these migrants will see it in their best interest to unionise and fight for a better wage. You set laws that everyone covered by this amnesty cannot apply for South African citizenship as they do in the United Arab Emirates because this should only be done to clear a long running problem to help deal with border control properly without losing focus because of those already in South Africa. Ministers cannot continue to pretend to be activists when they now sit on the cabinet table, if nothing changes during the five years they are in power, they would have failed, they cannot shout “Abahambe” again in 2029. Business cannot continue to benefit from the misery of poor Zimbabweans because of the refusal to document them, it is the South African citizen that will suffer more, deportation has failed to solve this problem. It is time for strong and reflective leadership that makes tough but sustainable decisions that have a long-term ability to resolve this issue. South Africans will have another opportunity to send a strong message in 2026, they should use it and not make the politicians continue to use this dysfunctionality continue at the expense of the South African citizen and the desperate undocumented immigrants. It is easy to control the border when you have cleaned up the existing problem in the country first, it requires men and women in leadership with a spine.

When they work legally or open small businesses, they will contribute to the South African fiscus, which will fund the public hospitals they use and the schools their children attend. The revolving door applies to Africans who need visas too, they are deported to Nigeria, they acquire a new identity, fly to Zimbabwe and come to South Africa by road where they pay border officials a bribe and get it in. Zimbabwe is no longer a foreign policy issue only for the South African government, it is a domestic issue as well because of illegal immigration that has brought many Zimbabweans into South Africa. It is not their fault, they are also victims of a corrupt government and each time they try to vote out the regime in Harare, the ANC publicly support rigged elections and give diplomatic cover to the Zimbabwean tyrant Emmerson Mnangagwa. Refusing to document illegals hoping that deportations will solve the problem demonstrates incompetence and ignorance to how illegal immigration works. It will continue to perpetuate low wages for South Africans and those that shout “Abahambe” know this very well. Documentation will make it easy because these migrants will see it in their best interest to unionise and fight for a better wage. You set laws that everyone covered by this amnesty cannot apply for South African citizenship as they do in the United Arab Emirates because this should only be done to clear a long running problem to help deal with border control properly without losing focus because of those already in South Africa. Ministers cannot continue to pretend to be activists when they now sit on the cabinet table, if nothing changes during the five years they are in power, they would have failed, they cannot shout “Abahambe” again in 2029. Business cannot continue to benefit from the misery of poor Zimbabweans because of the refusal to document them, it is the South African citizen that will suffer more, deportation has failed to solve this problem. It is time for strong and reflective leadership that makes tough but sustainable decisions that have a long-term ability to resolve this issue. South Africans will have another opportunity to send a strong message in 2026, they should use it and not make the politicians continue to use this dysfunctionality continue at the expense of the South African citizen and the desperate undocumented immigrants. It is easy to control the border when you have cleaned up the existing problem in the country first, it requires men and women in leadership with a spine.

I'll tell it like it is: they're lying. Robots are getting better and better, and the goal now is not to support human labor, as suggested in the video, but in the long term they will replace human labor. In a market economy, profit is the only thing that counts, whether you like to criticize that or not. The fact is, however, that robots will be cheaper than human labor and will therefore be preferred. Moreover, robots are getting better and better, they will work longer hours than humans, are less prone to errors, do not fall ill and do not need vacations. They are superior to human labor.

WATCH: Democrat voters said Republicans hate immigrants, and a LEGAL Haitian Republican immigrant stepped up and crushed all of them "Democrats are at a point right now where they are shipping a bunch of illegal immigrants... We have CRIMINALS from my own country traveling here to the border. And they are placing them in the black communities." "They are taking funds away from the people who were there. So, as an immigrant, I think it's the worst thing for this country for Black & Hispanic people to vote Democrats." The entire moment was GOLD. He melted all their brains.

Tim Walz blames Americans for not teaching immigrants better?! I guess it is our fault for not teaching them that defrauding the government is wrong. 🙄 "How the hell is it our job to teach people not to steal billions meant for hungry kids?!" Guess what, Mr. Walz. It’s not our job to teach immigrants right from wrong. They are not even supposed to be here in the first place. They are not here to make this nation better, and the “stealing billions from hungry kids” should have been the first clue.

"Immigrants are not to blame for this mess." "They simply followed the rules that the Liberals created, or the lack of rules." "They just want to have a better life." "And in many cases, they are the victims of a system that abuses and rips them off at the same time as destabilizing our housing, job market and social services." "Is 100% the result of reckless and irresponsible Liberal decisions." Pierre Poilievre

I want to make one bold declaration today, if anyone wants to place a bet, the bets are open. Donald Trump will NEVER deport all illegal immigrants from America, not even half of them, just as South Africa will never deport all illegal immigrants from its territory. Illegal immigrants primarily provide services that benefit the wealthy the most, not the poor. For example, if the cost of having a Haitian babysitter increases because the undocumented workers are deported, people’s attitudes will immediately shift and the Republicans will lose the mid term elections and not retain the White House in 2028. Trump wants a MAGA candidate to succeed him. If the cost of hailing an Uber goes up because Haitian illegal immigrants have been deported by Trump, there will be a shift, the same would happen in South Africa. Donald Trump, like all populist leaders, manipulates the minds of unsophisticated individuals who lack an understanding of how the economies of major countries like South Africa in Africa and America function. If all undocumented immigrants left South Africa today, the price of goods and services would rise significantly and there will be an uproar. The average South African would no longer afford meals out because the restaurants would either push up prices or shut down, it is that simple. That is why countries like Zimbabwe and its ruling ZANUPF party don’t care about the uproar in South Africa because they know that their citizens who are living illegally in South Africa will never be allowed to deported. I want to share a little story with you. In 2009, the then Attorney General of Britain, Patricia Scotland, was caught employing an illegal immigrant as a cleaner and exposed by the Daily Mail newspaper. Scotland was not found guilty because the cleaner had used fraudulent documentation. She was only fined £5000. This is the reality with many illegal immigrants across the world, they are in your homes, offices, buses, shops-everywhere with their illegal documentation! Speaking at rallies before an election is different from coming face to face with the dollar figures as you suddenly realise the cost of your election promises! Not all illegal immigrants are criminals, Trump will know this because two of his wives were immigrants! Here is America’s new Foreign Secretary Marco Rubio addressing this same issue in 2013 and giving it a sober response.
