If they are working here, yes they should have access to healthcare. There’s absolutely no reason not to. This notion of “29 year olds in mom’s basement playing video games all day” is a complete strawman you guys have made up. It doesn’t happen. They’re fleeing it because it’s simply not affordable to live. When the median house in California is over $700,000, then it’s no surprise people are leaving it. Nearly every single prominent American metropolis is blue.

Most of those jobs are obsolete. We need to get better at solar, microchips, and other high tech. We don’t need investment in tin can factories This is like taking away Bloomberg terminals from stockbrokers

What is your way forward? I think giving employees the tools to do their jobs correctly is a good thing, actually
-
Then transition them to high-tech manufacturing in sectors like batteries. Oh wait. MAGA hates that.
-
Why is that a “win” to you? I don’t particularly care about manufacturing jobs, because it’s not 1951 anymore. I mention it because of the MAGA obsession with returning to brutal factory jobs.

This looks nice on first glance, but the vast majority of jobs were added in the government, healthcare and service sectors. Aka, the sectors about to be devastated by OBBB. Also manufacturing still hasn’t grown, despite MAGA efforts.

So…not “illegals” then. Thanks for admitting your defeat at least. -
You want an American politician stripped of citizenship and deported for his beliefs. You have absolutely no room to argue.

Most of those jobs are in government sectors. Manufacturing lost jobs. Is still down 10% yes. -
Also, knock it off with this supposed belief in supporting social services for Americans. The MAGAs just voted to strip 5% of American citizens of their healthcare. The vast majority of immigrants are hard workers with jobs. Thats evidenced by the fact that ICE has to keep raiding job sites, and that Trump had to back track and pause ICE raids on farms.

Yes, I support the free movement of people where they see fit. I have never said anything about total amnesty. If you want to come up with an actual plan to get the real criminals out, instead of “mass deportations,” go for it. But that’s not the goal. More funding for ICE with plans to begin stripping citizenship away from Americans is a gigantic warning flag. You support an authoritarian government that’s increasingly stomping on all immigration and people who don’t fall in lockstep with the MAGA ideology.

Many reasons. Developing nations don’t have the capacity for a welfare net, or even basic services. They do not have the same trade agreements and access to the global market. They don’t have the purchasing power for goods like medicine and raw materials. I enjoy conversing with @Orlando Buffalo because he argues in good faith and doesn’t resort to digging up posts from two years ago as some kind of “gotcha”
