If they really want to address illegals they should penalize the companies that use them rather than individual workers. Hell, they might be working with companies to stage deport theatre and then looking away when they restock. Like they argue with drugs, remove the demand and the problem will decrease.
They hate nonwhites. Remember BigBalls' "normalize indian hate" tweet?
The goal is not human flourishing. The goal isn't even flourishing for the groups that they care about. The goal is suffering for the people they hate.
Curious to see what comes home to roost. I mean when, for example, you clear out the agriculture workers of the U.S. without any thought as to how or what you are going to do to replace them, well, expect higher grocery prices I guess?
Whats [additionally] infuriating for me is all of this is funded by my tax bill. Both Hyundai taking massive federal incentives, and the subsequent arrests.
I just think of the money wasn't collected/handed out to them in the first place we wouldn't be in this situation.
you fail to understand basic economics. states AND countries provide tax breaks to lure in businesses with certain agreements. In the long term, this provides jobs, training, benefits local economy, income taxes, raises property values, increases property taxes, etc.
And your tax contribution to would be %.0001. There are MANY things about the government to be infuriated at but this isn't one of them.
One thing missing from the public debate and I havent seen any writers I follow bring up:
When US companies first started outsourcing their factories to Korea, China, and other countries, they were doing the exact same thing. They were just flying engineers over on business and tourist visas to jump start factories and train the workers. Typically only long term workers bothered getting bona fide employee visas abroad.
Open any Steve Jobs biography. "Jobs told me to fly to China tonight and deal with the problem"
You think he got a Chinese work visa in one day?
This is hubris-driven rule by law. As Americans we can't fathom a foreign company knowing something we don't. The shoe is on the other foot now. Foreign conglomerates have knowledge and processes and expertise that we dont have. There's literally no pragmatic way for Hyundai to get 300 employees here on short notice. They moved fast and broke things. They did what they thought they had to do to survive in a kafkaesque system.
Somehow this article is no longer on the first page[0] (or even second) of hn even though it has more upvotes (and is newer) than other articles with less upvotes (or older ones). Is HN hiding politically controversial articles?
