The Democrat party leadership has perfected Saul Alinsky's playbook especially when it comes to projecting their beliefs or actions on someone else in order to demonize them. Just look at the claims of white supremacy, racism, anti-immigrant, claims against the Republicans and most Americans. But who is truly racist?
Rebecca Balint is a US representative from Vermont. Recently she was speaking to a group of people expressing her opposition to Donald Trump's closing of the border. She told the audience that this country needs mass migration because we need not only the diversity of cultural experiences, but we also need the workers. She warned her audience that what she was about to say next might be offensive and crude but it's the truth, so she was going to speak it. Quite frankly, she said," Who is going to wipe our asses when we are in a nursing home if these people aren't here to do it?"
She went on to say who is going to pick our fruit and vegetables, who is going to clean our hospitals and schools, who's going to do the jobs that Americans don't want to do? That's how she and many of her fellow leaders in her party see the people from third world countries coming to America— as their servants. As only capable of menial labor. And for many of them low-cost labor to boot. That is the worst kind of bigotry, the bigotry of low expectations.
Never mind that increasing the supply of labor in the industries where many illegal immigrants find employment lowers the wages. Believe me, the Democrats know that because many of their major donors benefit from having illegal immigrants work for them.
But who's going to do those jobs? How about the millions of able-bodied young people who are receiving government benefits? Enough benefits that they don't have to work. The government's own data shows that most people receiving government benefits are getting over $35,000 a year to stay home and do nothing. Let's put these people into the workforce.
Representative Balint, like many of the liberal elite in this country, looks down on anyone that engages in menial labor. They can't understand why someone would be a garbage collector, or work in a sewage treatment plant. Most of us respect people who do those jobs. Most of us understand the dignity that comes from working to support your family. In fact, we respect them a lot more than we respect Ms. Balint and her fellow politicians.
Let's get the able-bodied off of government assistance, and we will have plenty of workers to do these jobs. Quit bringing in competition for these jobs so that wages will increase. More importantly, why don't we address the fact that inflation has outpaced wage growth by at least 1300% since the Federal Reserve was founded. We know the answer. Having problems to solve keeps them in power despite the fact that they never solve any problems.
