I would just add that many of these hard working folks are artista magnificos. Jose has done a few jobs for me to enhance my landscape which is the envy of neighborhood. Every time he submits a bill that is less than his estimate, and I have to chastise him and add 20% to his bill .
"Choose which immigrants we admit into the country "

Please show your math or shut up.
I was referring to people here illegally. There are plenty of people who make the case that even the illegal border crossers are needed to do work.
No matter how many times you say this, it is still a lie every time.
This is not "a case;" this is a fact. The empirical evidence is overwhelming.
I voted for Harris.
By my logic, Trump got thumped in 2020. And he did. Kamala lost every swing state to Trump. Trump lost every swing state save North Carolina to Biden.
The empirical evidence shows that we need a more robust guest worker program, not that we need to condone entering the country illegally. There is no excuse for sneaking into the country and hiding for weeks or months and then suddenly deciding to "claim asylum" when caught. Anyone who does, and I don't give two shits if I can't get all the strawberries I want at the store, need to be booted.
Agreed
But that's not what the people you support are doing. Instead of separating the wheat from the chaff, they use any excuse they can manufacture to keep immigrants out (unless they are white or rich enough to make up for not being white.) There's no other reason I can think of that justifies South African whites becoming a priority. If anything should be decided on a case by case basis, that's a prime example. If a white person is struggling in South Africa, there should be a clearly visible cause. If they're a victim ,give them relief. If they are just worthless POS race hustlers, leave them over there. There's already a glut on the market and ours come in rainbow colors.
Or we could stop being racist pieces of shit and welcome the workers as residents and eventually citizens. Human capital is one of the most important economic assets, if not THE most important, and mooks like you sabotage it at every turn.
a giant steaming pile.
The US has similar laws as every other country in the world. I guess everyone is racist.
the guy who just did my new flooring is latino. unbelievably good work. fast and really reasonably priced. he's doing a remodel of my downstairs this fall.anecdote that makes an interesting contrast in work ethic...
My beach house needed some repair and remodeling. The contractor I hired had an all white crew. The crew would arrive at 9 am, take 10 minute smoke breaks every half hour or so , take a one hour lunch break and leave at 4 pm... and the crew only worked until noon on Fridays. The job they did was ok with only a few quibbles on my part.
Fast forward to painting my primary residence in Carrboro. I hired an Hispanic contractor who had an all Hispanic crew. The crew would arrive shortly before sunrise and wait patiently until daylight. They took no breaks, took a half hour lunch, and worked until dark. The job they did was the envy of my neighborhood and our house did not need painting for another 12 years ( actually it still looked pretty good 12 years after but the missus insisted)
Ah yes.... when all else fails, play the race card because, you know, wanting to know who's coming into your country is racist.
You know... do we really need to check passports when people fly into the country? Is that racist, or is it only racist if the people being checked have xx amount of melanin in their skin?
