    So you support exploitation of immigrant workers in manual labor at places like farms and factories

    So you like shoving words in my mouth to fit your political arguments.

      > Try eating when there’s no migrants to work the fields (different user, my bad)

      Point out that cheaper immigrant labor will help fix inflation and you win two more arguments with the general population.

      Wild how I put words in comments you posted. Lemmy has such weird glitches sometimes.

        I told you that the vast majority of migrants in my family are nurses. Does that sound like field work to you? Fuck.

        Yall don’t even listen to immigrants. As I said earlier: yall just get angry on behalf of imaginary issues.

        And yes. Fixing the nursing shortage in USA by encouraging immigrants to go to nursing school is a good fucking idea. The Philippines has good schools and Filipinos love to study and reach new academic heights. Who the fuck is the racist thinking that immigrant cultures are all just field work?

        I’m trying to point out that there’s many immigrant stories. For the most part, the USA’s immigration regime is designed to help fix labor issues, not necessarily from cheap field work but mostly through hiring highly skilled workers (and encouraging specific studies from other cultures).

        Ignorance of immigrants is the sin. Whether you’re on the left or right. I’m trying to point out where the system works and I think most people agree that encouraging work where USA has labor shortages (especially nursing) is a very, very, very good idea. And by and large, the Filipino community accepts this and understands it as fair. What the fuck is wrong with it? Or do you just want to get angry at everything?
