If the own people of the country aren't taking the absolute lowest paying jobs, then why shouldn't an immigrant?

Because that's how you get wage increases

You just fucked yourself

Except that not all jobs will face job increases

simply because people just don't want to do them

usually they will

Else they wont get done

And if the wage increases the amount of people that will flock to do them will lower the wages again

yep

That's called "a market"

Yeah, and it's not like people are lining up to collect fruits and vegetables

even before large immigration influxes

Then I guess farmers will have to pay workers more, or give incentives

That's a myth. Actually a lot of people who arnt immigrants do food gathering

And in our recession many people would have jumped at the chance for those low skill jobs over unemployment

I would actually prefer immigrants didn't touch my food.

It'd be less infested with e.coli

jesus christ, I know that it's meant as a joke, but I know that you still mean part of it

But we a totally had a huge increase of immigration in 2008

@Capitán Alatriste Which parts the joke?

@Capitán Alatriste all of the us outbreaks recently on veggies have been tracked to undocumented veggie gatherers

They just drop trousers in the field and shit on plants

The most recent one with romaine lettuce included

I quit buying anything from Cali because of it

It's actually safer to buy veggies from Mexico these days than us veggies

@Goblin_Slayer_Floki they grow the lettuce right next to the coca as an pesticide

Could you make that a bit smaller, and wider?

you're not viewing this on a 4k?

No, and it's not 3in from my face either

looks fine on my machine

maybe get a bigger screen

I always have two windows open side by side

best i can do

chrome won't let me make the window any narrower

Much better!

it is actually

maybe i should keep it this way <:think_madpepe:378717098630971395>

it's been scientifically proven that people prefer reading a narrow block of text than a super wide one

the solution cant be that we take all the male youths to be unemployed here with welfare draining. Why are they so motivated to leave and not better their own? We cannot take them all, we cannot rescue all of Africa by taking them all in, its not going to work. I wonder how the western countries should help African countries improve if they are unstable themselves.

Colonise them
