A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

Wouldn't it be in everyone's best interest to make those workers legal and pay them a fair wage? They're already doing the job, so if they're bad at it and not worth the wage increase to the business owner, wouldn't that mean other people could now out compete the immigrants for those same jobs?

Doing this would avoid a sudden labor market upset, extend amnesty to the businesses AND their underpaid employees (avoiding violence and suffering for everyone involved), guarantee a fair wage for all the workers involved (current and future), and make those positions competitive on the market.

The only downside is an increase in prices which is going to happen in every other case anyway.

This is why I support amnesty for nonviolent illegals.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Good! But do the people you vote for support that?

[–] realcaseyrollins@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not enough of them do. It's hard to find pro-amnesty folks on the right.

To be clear, it's not that I oppose deporting illegals, I just think amnesty is better. And I'm not a single issue voter, so amnesty honestly wasn't a factor in my voting decisions this time around.

Well, just to loop back around, this means all those "probably"'s up there are very likely "probably not"'s.

That's a great question, and one for the people you voted for to answer.

You can't just say that something is probably not going to happen and then say it's other people's job to say why lolllll
