RE: The Days of the #SchumerShutdown
The trouble here is that this is all propaganda. Propaganda about propaganda.
In order to get a handle on things, we need to get to the real story.
Demographics.
In order for their system to work, the need a growing population to become growing consumers to take on ever more debt. So, without the immigrants, the banking system implodes.
Further, there exists a real minimum wage. It is set by market forces. In order to have a govern-cement set minimum wage above that real line, you have to have a group of people that will work below it. In The US this has typically been migrant mexican labor.
And last, but not least, we are tax cattle. Each and every one of us that had a mother that filled out a birth certificate, and then abandoned it (you) are now a corporate bond. This is sold on the stock market. For somewhere around $100,000 per person, I believe.
So, every "dreamer" you get to fill out that bond issuing paperwork nets you $100,000. How many dreamers would you want to get their signature?
I completely agree. Our elected "representatives" on both sides of the aisle have sold us out to line their own pockets with the money of corporations and banks. None of them care for these people from the third world that they constantly try to saddle us with. Not do they care about us either.
As you said, we're viewed merely as living piggy banks that exist for them to extract money out of at their whim.
At the same time, although I realized that all of us (including the illegal underclass) are being used, they are still here illegally and they lower the quality of life that those in this country hold dear. They must go home and we must secure the border and enforce our laws. We cannot simply give up.
