[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So effectively an indentured servant?[/quote]

She said she and her neighbors pay him very well.

Such a cop out by the MAGA folks to label the guy an indentured servant.  There's nothing in our relationship that makes him one.  By their definition, anyone who works for anyone else is an indentured servant.

I'll spell it right out:  the premise of the posters who are so worked up by what I'm doing is that I have some kind of moral obligation to favor the "American" worker simply because they had the happy accident of being born here.  That's bullshit.  I'll hire a good and honest man regardless of where they're from and regardless of their legal status, and I'll pay them well for doing good work.  I'm a conscientious objector to our flawed and racially biased immigration system.  End of story.  [/quote]

If you don’t feel a duty to your fellow Americans and/or orderly, legal labor markets, why should anybody feel any kind of duty to the common good?

If your support and compliance with (or at least, not undermining) the legal systems put in place is subject to individualized veto, why wouldn’t all of us ignore the laws we object to?  Perhaps someone in your neighborhood is a conscientious objector to property rights laws and they’ll just come to your house and take all your stuff?ñ.  How would you feel about that?[/quote]

I agree. It’s not fair that people like OP are wealthy enough to afford lawn care workers while I work my tail off at target to live in a studio apartment. I’m not a criminal so I deserve the opportunity to live a comfortable life in a nice house like the OPs. Opportunity is what makes this country great. And if the OP won’t give me a room in her house then she is an elitist fascist. [/quote]

I'm not "giving" him anything.  He's working hard.  [/quote]
