“ Policymakers are always ready to bail out companies “too big to fail” – or dole out subsidies to politically connected corporations – but small businesses and the individual consumers they rely on are never given any relief.”
lol
Says the guy who’s a stay at home blogger and got a bailout from the taxpayers with a PPP loan he’ll never have to pay back.
MAGA people have ZERO self-awareness.
It is the job of the House and the Senate to make border security laws. If they fail in doing that, they can’t rely on a President to do what Donald Trump did, which is ignore the existing law, because he did not like it. Republicans refuse to fix the law or provide more border security funding and funding to try the cases of asylum seekers who have rights under our current law. That said. How does illegal immigration negatively affect small businesses? It generally does not. Many small businesses are labor intensive and available labor is scarce in the US. We have near-record-low unemployment. In fact, we are very near what many economists consider zero unemployment. For many small businesses immigrants are a source of low-cost labor and new customers. Working immigrants work for less. Working immigrants buy food, clothing, gas, and rent places to live; things that are frequently provided by small businesses.
So as I have always said. If you want to stop illegal immigration, you must eliminate the draw. You do that by arresting people who employ illegal immigrants. From the hotelier, like DJT, to the home builders who hire construction workers, to the fruit farmer who hires pickers, to the yard maintenance businesses, to the housewife who hires a maid, nanny or caregiver. If you arrest them all, they will stop providing jobs to illegal immigrants and the draw will end. Or, you could come up with a reasonable guest worker program to fill the unfilled labor needs of mostly small businesses.
Taxes are not the problem. They are at near record lows, and lower than many times when our economy was booming and small business was thriving. In fact, the economy is doing very well right now for the big companies, but it was doing very well when their taxes were higher and the country had lower debt.
Low wages are South Carolinas problem. Since businesses are only taxed on profit their taxes go down when their income goes down. South carolina’s taxes are fairly low and people receive a low quality of government services for their low taxes. This has been south carolina’s economic pattern for 2 hundred and fifty years.
I hate to break the news to you, but Trump’s record on immigration wasn’t successful on anything except loudness. He had plenty of people cross the border because walls don’t help (you know, since the invention of the airplane and automobile over 100 years ago).
People who talk about immigration and Trump must not have actually looked at his stats and just listened to his big, fat, felonious mouth. He talked the talk but didn’t walk the walk. And you know why? Because he’s the reason illegal immigrants are here: For quick jobs for them and cheap labor for him.
If any of these Einsteinian Trumpians really wanted to take care of immigration, they would make harboring an illegal alien or hiring them a felony punishable by a mandatory 20 years in prison. That’d end things. They ain’t coming over there for the fun of it, it’s to work.
Here’s another fun fact:
While he was telling rednecks to their face that he was tough on immigration: It’s Trump more than Biden who let them outright go. Biden removed more illegal immigrants in his first two years than Trump did in his last two.
Only Fox is telling you rednecks on this ridiculous talking point – their only thing left to keep misinformed southerners voting for their flailing party – that it’s Trump who was tougher. He was not. He let plenty of them out and back on the streets, more than Biden did. Once Biden gets them, it’s back where they came from.
Anyway, what’s hilarious is that the people who are worried about this issue are usually from redneck states like West Virginia, Kentucky, and Alabama, people who don’t even have any border crossings lol But to hear them tell it, illegals are everywhere in their rundown Arby’s… just dying to get to an area even p0orer than Mexico.
