Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Sooo…. Quick question:
In what way do you think these clowns are going to blame democrats once they start noticing the lack of unskilled laborers applying for jobs there?
Because they have no problem hiring them for jobs that no legal citizen will work for less than minimum wage for. But when the illegal immigrants are gone and they have to pay a fair wage for legal citizens…. The shit will hit the fan!
They have been doing this for a long time by railing against minimum wage laws, minimum age laws and the universal "no one wants to work anymore".
Texas has about 1.6 million undocumented immigrants. They're going to have to step up their bus game if they're going to run out of "cheap labor."

Also: undocumented <> unskilled. A variety of jobs may not require a certificate or degree, but are not unskilled.
For real, I really don't understand how Texas isn't being prosecuted for human trafficking.
How does one prosecute a state?
There is and will be no lack. There's 10,000+ PER DAY crossing through the SouthWestern Land Border. Places like NYC, Chicago, and Denver are only getting a small fraction of that number.
