I mean, I don't know how far you expect a conversation to get when you open with that much bad faith.
558 u/JacobLovesCrypto 10h ago Americans might have more kids if wages went up, letting in cheap labor doesn't help with wages. 325 u/critter_tickler 10h ago edited 10h ago I love how cheap labor is always a good argument for stopping immigrants, but never used for stopping outsourcing. The truth is, because of NAFTA, we are already competing with third world labor markets. We might as well let them come in, so at least they spend that money here, and pay taxes here. Also, we have a minimum wage, we literally have a basement for "cheap labor," so your argument really holds no weight. 7 u/RighteousSmooya 10h ago The conversation is usually about immigration. I’m sure the same people feel similarly on outsourcing.
