lol

what happened to that 'good faith' character you were playing earlier on the stream?

because it seems to me that you can't distinguish where and where studies are not relevant

you mean as i was called a faggot or nigger like, 500 times a second?

or... retarded, or autistic

or a "lonely old virgin"

ye good obfuscation there bud

you came in here and said u wanted to hear us out and etc

i was literally told that studies are BS if i don't agree with them

i do

and i'm listening to what you're saying

then why do you resort to this gay tactic of just going 'duhh doiii u dont like to read studieeee duhh'

but, instinctively, i don't agree with it because all i've ever seen about this issue, on the side you're arguing for, comes from a place of xenophobia and authoritarianism

any study i link is going to be dismissed

both of those statements are entirely built on assumptions which contradict what i've already told you

i'm more here to... see the way you formulate arguments and see what kinds of proofs you use

i gave you proof from an economic journal

I gave you an argument based on actual reason with application to the real world

all that says is that most fields are not majority-immigrant though

what more could you possibly want from me or anyone else here

yes it shows that we have minimal economic dependence on immigrants

i mean that study is totally irrelevant to me, unless i said, "immigrants do jobs americans won't do"

and that you could probably remove all immigrants from the workforce and there would be little to no differenc e

i wouldn't say minimal

i mean, 49%, 46%, 36%, 34%, 35%, 27% of job fields is still a massive number

gay semantics again

it's a massive number in very small fields yes

but in the overarching economy it is next to nothing

35% of construction workers are not native-born

that is a gigantic part of our economy

it's just not a majority

and i'd definitely think it theoretically COULD be filled by Americans

but it's not

and if it was, wouldn't that just mean the field itself would become that much larger

and like i said earlier (which you agreed on is something which exists) - most of those non native born workers are displacing native born workers from the workforce since they are able to outcompete them artificially

but my argument would be, why are they being displaced (if they are)

i.e if they were removed from the workforce, the previously displaced workers would likely fill up the remainder needed after they were removed

not because immigrants are coming in and stealing those jobs, but because business owners and corporations are valuing slave-labor wages over actual job wages

although construction is a bad example of that

you make like 20 bucks an hour just sweeping floors in construction
