[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are no doubt many poor, dysfunctional families who are excited by the prospect of being able to sell their children off to fuel their own addictions and laziness.

I worked as a child (14+), and saw how unscrupulous employers would exploit my peers who were more vulnerable. They knew better than to try their crap on a white LMC girl, but my friend who was the daughter of immigrants was working 8-10 hours every day at 15 for $5/hr. Her family was happy for the money and didn’t care one bit about what it was doing to her. After all, weren’t things worse where she came from? She was smart and had a ton of potential which she never did get a chance to realize.

At the same place, the owner’s 21 year old son knocked up the 16-year old front end manager. After she dropped out of school to have the baby and work full time, they fired her. And defamed her as a slut. And the owner’s son now runs the place.

I could keep going but let’s just say employers like hiring kids because they are cheap and can’t defend themselves. Last place any caring parent would want to see their precious child end up.

If we limited the overwhelming immigration, business would not be able to exploit labor.

And yet Democrats expand H1B, expand OPT, expand H4EAD.

Just ask Sen Durbin.

Democrats will continue to lose until they put US workers first.[/quote]

Read the post again. With the exception of the one US citizen born to immigrant parents, we were all broke white girls. They exploited us because we were children. What Republicans want to do now - exploit children. [/quote]

And Republicans specifically want to exploit American children. [/quote]

And Republicans specifically want to exploit [b]POOR[/b] American children.  Keep poor kids in hourly jobs, and maybe one day working up to hourly management. No need to go to college, or try to enter the corporate world. If a GED was good enough in 1970, a GED is good enough today.

All of this really just restarts old philosophies that keep poor people poor, rich people rich. [/quote]
