    Yeah Biden shouldn’t have ended the remain in Mexico policy but he did. That depresses wages for most workers and the party gets to own that.

      If you’re concerned about “depressed wages”, join and/or support a non-racist, non-nationalist labor union like the IWW, dumbass. Labor solidarity must cross and subvert the artificial, capitalist-approved, state-imposed lines across the map. FUCK your borders!

      Declining wages have nothing to do with undocumented workers coming in to do the jobs that crackers are never gonna do in large enough numbers anyway. USian wages have been completely stagnated since 1973 and the dawn of neoliberalism. Don’t blame immigrants, blame capitalists and imperialism.

        Remember back when Obummer nearly ruined the Georgia peach harvest because he cracked down on immigration to the point where ag workers went in to hiding and teh margins on US ag are so sharp that white people won’t (can’t afford to) do the work?

      BUT MUH OPEN BORDERS POLICY!jon-yell

      Fucking ridiculous bullshit. The US doesn’t have anything approaching an “open borders” policy. Also migrant workers aren’t the ones suppressing wages, its the fucking business owners that decide that they want to hire cheaper labor and generally the politicians who do not to push minimum wages to keep up with inflation at the behest of the ownership class. Get out of here with that xenophobic shit.
