MAGA seems to have lost its way. Suspect just too many conflicting positions at this point to justify and defend.


There are plenty of young men willing to do it . They’re just looking for an honest wage.


Women won’t break into manual labor and never have. Even job sites now are filled with illegal alien men, not women.

My sister deals with this in VA as tons of illegals are in the school systems and the mothers are getting free diapers, food, medial care etc as poor Americans suffer.

So this argument is the democrats saying who’s going to build things just show they want to go back to their Democrat party roots. The party of slavery


I promise, no young white men are going to pic any crops or do landscaping or putting roofs on homes. I bet you even get your kids to clean their rooms, take out the garbage and clean the garbage cans.


You saying this just shows how out of touch you are. You probably live in a lily white UMC liberal enclave. I grew up in flyover country and in my family alone, parents/myself/siblings (all white), we have: 1) worked in a sanitation department job, 2) worked as a crop picker (before the industry was taken over by illegals), 3) worked as a pond installer, 4) worked as a short order cook (me and 2 siblings), 5) worked for a landscaping and tree trimming/cutting company, 6) worked construction, including roof installation. We respectively did many of these jobs as teens, but one of my brothers still works in construction and another for a landscaper (in their 20s). The one brother who used to work as a cook is now in the army. The brother who used to work as a pond installer now works in a factory and earns 6 figures with overtime (no college degree).

Americans ARE willing to do these jobs and HAVE been doing them.


Did you really list a whole bunch of jobs your family did as teens as proof that American adults want these as full time jobs?


I was directly responding to someone who said, and I quote,
“I promise, no young white men are going to pic any crops or do landscaping or putting roofs on homes.”

That is FALSE. Just because you think you’re too good to do those jobs, does not mean that people in the heartland of this country feel the same way.

And just so you know, people like you, with attitudes like yours, are why you lost.

Farmers in the heartland are scared of their crops rotting if Trump follows through, no?


There’s an H-2A visa program precisely so that doesn’t need to happen. Nice try.

I must say, it’s really eye opening to see how the liberal elites think they deserve a brown underclass of noncitizens to “do all the work Americans won’t do”.


NP here. I have mad respect for anyone doing that work. It is not easy, and they certainly aren’t a brown underclass. They are an essential component of our workforce and economy. They put food on our table and a roof over our heads. There have been attempts to get Americans to do these jobs. It hasn’t worked. So, brace yourself for paying $5 for a single apple and construction projects being halted.

These cheap apples and that cheap labor only continue if we allow employers to exploit immigrants with low wages and other substandard treatment.

Is your position that we continue to have this exploited workforce?

Because once we address the horrible practices that pervade undocumented workforces, we’ll end up with expensive apples and costly labor.



There's not a labor shortage, there's a livable wage shortage.

If your business can't pay a livable wage, then your business is a failure. That's how capitalism works.

If you base your business on workers who aren't making a living wage because as illegal immigrants, they have no rights or are afraid to assert them, that's a bad business plan.

Stop trying to shift the blame to the liberals. It’s tiring. The point is that many of the people who voted for Trump (like farmers, small business owners, construction companies) employ undocumented workers. It’s not a liberal vs. conservative thing. It’s the rich vs everyone else. And I don’t know how Trump and co. convinced you dumb peons that the rich are all liberals.


Yes, I’m sure the effort of moving the goal posts must be very tiring. So now we’re here - rich people are doing it, it’s not a liberal issue. Ok. Well, am I, the dumb peon, supposed to support rich people using illegal aliens as near-slave labor? Yeah, no. I’m not ok with it. It seems like you are, though? So curious.

I have a lady up the street from me with a Trump sign in her yard who has a lawn crew a bunch of illegal aliens in it. It was very odd watching them do leaf clean-up this fall. I’m looking forward to springtime when no one shows up to do her yard work.


Teens in our bethesda neighborhood do it for their community hours. Takes 3 hours a lot, a tarp and a rake. Bfd.

We’d pay them $20 an hour otherwise since we all have colds and can’t DIY this week. Again, BFD.


Not in my vast suburban wasteland. Mow and blow crews as far as the eye can see. A lot of trumpers are going to be buying mowers and rakes soon. They will whine and cry.


Yep, I have literally never seen a teen doing yard work for another person in my neighborhood. PP is full of it.


I have and they’d do more if they were priced out by illegals.

I willingly pay the higher rate to an American kid who is using his dad’s stuff.

I’m the only one on my block who does, the rest of the hypocrite liberals hire illegals to do theirs.

Goes to show, they hate paying a good wage or they hate Americans kids who lien hard work because their kid is fat and lazy and sits inside all day



How do you know they are American?
Ask em, how about that? Too offensive?



But how do you know they are. You can ask me if I'm French and I tell you yes and you would
n't know either way.
So you're a liar then. How about having some honor? French.......alota good you guys have done in the world.



Or I could be a dual citizen.

The point is you wouldn't know.
Just like unless you're asking for proof that these kids are American, you don't know.

Well Trump had 4 years to build his precious wall. He only added 55 miles of new wall. That’s it. After all those tantrums and shutting down the government over it. If there are so many people still able to cross the border illegally, that is on Trump as much as Biden. His big beautiful wall didn’t work. Probably due to the existence of things like ladders, ropes, shovels, boats, airplanes. He promised you he would get it done and that Mexico would pay for it. Did not happen. Not sure why you believe his empty promises again after he failed miserably to deliver last time.

Liberals come across as preachy stuck up jerks. They are very vocal. But the label “liberal” isn’t a fair way to categorize this group. Their issues are 3 fold:
1) forgetting their humanity. And thus, for forgetting everyone else’s. Because your treatment of others , your presumptions of others , is positively correlated with your treatment of yourself.

2) ignorance of their own ignorance.
3) and pride

It is unfortunate that we as a society have given these persons so much power and influence.

A lot, that’s why I am in favor of gun control. But not sure what that has to do with the article posted.


Have you listened to the trial of the illegal immigrant who beat Laken Riley’s head in with a large rock? Did you listen to the audio of the police officer who found her, hyperventilating and begging for her to make a sound or movement to show she may have a spark of life left in her battered body and head? He did cpr on her, EMS tried to shock her poor heart back to beating.

I wish Laken had not been hunted by an illegal immigrant who had no legal reason to be in our country. She is supposed to be alive and healthy and happy and studying to be a nurse.

Why does her death not matter to you? Her mom ran out of the courtroom during testimony about her daughter’s death that was particularly heartbreaking. That was her baby girl.

Laken is disposable to democrats.


An entire classroom of first graders was disposable to you.

We can do this alll day.


Maybe if our law enforcement agencies weren’t overwhelmed by crimes committed by illegal immigrants, they would have more time, money, personnel, and resources to go after the murderers who are citizens. Yes, they definitely would. The person who killed the first graders should have been prevented from killing them. Our law enforcement should have had the resources to stop him.

Fixed it for you

Maybe if our law enforcement agencies weren’t overwhelmed by crimes committed by American men with easy access to firearms, they would have more time, money, personnel, and resources to go after the murderers who are not citizens. Yes, they definitely would. The person who killed Laken should have been prevented from killing her. Our law enforcement should have had the resources to stop him.

Until we get our guns secure and get them out of the hands of people who aren’t law-abiding, or mentally/physically capable enough to have them, our law enforcement will be stretched thin.

There's always a way...


Where are all these American young men and women dying to break into construction/manual labor? Also with respect to the comment about 'repurposing' border patrol agents as constructions workers, just...wow. I feel like a greater and greater percentage of posts on this forum read like satire. It's hard to tell what's a real comment and what's said in jest.


MAGA seems to have lost its way. Suspect just too many conflicting positions at this point to justify and defend.


There are plenty of young men willing to do it . They’re just looking for an honest wage.


Women won’t break into manual labor and never have. Even job sites now are filled with illegal alien men, not women. Minus the rare exception most women who come here don’t work and suck out of the system for benefits. My sister deals with this in VA as tons of illegals are in the school systems and the mothers are getting free diapers, food, medial care etc as poor Americans suffer.

So this argument is the democrats saying who’s going to build things just show they want to go back to their Democrat party roots. The party of slavery


I promise, no young white men are going to pic any crops or do landscaping or putting roofs on homes. I bet you even get your kids to clean their rooms, take out the garbage and clean the garbage cans.


You saying this just shows how out of touch you are. You probably live in a lily white UMC liberal enclave. I grew up in flyover country and in my family alone, parents/myself/siblings (all white), we have: 1) worked in a sanitation department job, 2) worked as a crop picker (before the industry was taken over by illegals), 3) worked as a pond installer, 4) worked as a short order cook (me and 2 siblings), 5) worked for a landscaping and tree trimming/cutting company, 6) worked construction, including roof installation. We respectively did many of these jobs as teens, but one of my brothers still works in construction and another for a landscaper (in their 20s). The one brother who used to work as a cook is now in the army. The brother who used to work as a pond installer now works in a factory and earns 6 figures with overtime (no college degree).

Americans ARE willing to do these jobs and HAVE been doing them.


Did you really list a whole bunch of jobs your family did as teens as proof that American adults want these as full time jobs?


I was directly responding to someone who said, and I quote,
“I promise, no young white men are going to pic any crops or do landscaping or putting roofs on homes.”

That is FALSE. Just because you think you’re too good to do those jobs, does not mean that people in the heartland of this country feel the same way.

And just so you know, people like you, with attitudes like yours, are why you lost.

Farmers in the heartland are scared of their crops rotting if Trump follows through, no?


There’s an H-2A visa program precisely so that doesn’t need to happen. Nice try.

I must say, it’s really eye opening to see how the liberal elites think they deserve a brown underclass of noncitizens to “do all the work Americans won’t do”.
