Comment on My world is so much better because of immigrants
Pringles@sopuli.xyz 6 days agoPay and conditions were not destroyed because of immigrants, but are a side effect of globalization. Production facilities were offshored, leading to a collapse of local manufacturing and low skill jobs (where no prior education is required, low skill jobs can and sometimes do require a lot of skill). Reshoring those jobs is incredibly difficult because it also means reconfiguring the supply lines. For urban areas this is not a huge issue, as those can switch to a service based economy, but for small towns this often meant that the main economic driver of the town left and people lost jobs.
Anyway, not caused by immigration. As a matter of fact, immigrants are a significant driver of economic activity and partly offset that.

You are simply not dealing with reality and we will all suffer because of it.

It’s the Republicans who consistently vote against paying people a reasonable minimum wage and against protections for working people who are clearly to blame, but sure blame immigrants. Talk about not dealing with reality.
