I had a friend that voted for Brexit. When I asked him why, he said that his grandfather was able to buy a house and take care of his family on his salary. His father was able to do the same. He said, these immigrants come in and live two families to a house and are willing to work for far less. He said, I don't want that type of future for myself.

No amount of telling him that -- the people that caused this issue are also benefitting from Brexit -- could convince him.

Was weird because I wasn't an immigrant but my family was and he was cool with me.

If illegal immigrants are taking all the jobs, why don’t we blame the people giving them jobs instead of the immigrants who are desperate?

Yeah but my problems are all because I have to see a brown person at work sometimes!

Tie housing costs to wages.

You wanna raise the rent? Go talk to the bosses and convince them to raise wages.

You wanna cut wages? Go talk to the landlords and get our rent down.

Anyone whose income depends on harming others has an incentive to distract the people they’re harming. Point a finger at any out-group & that job is done. Immigrants are the easiest out group to post a finger at

Consider the incestuous circle of ownership of the big 3 asset managers (BlackRock, State Street, Vanguard) and despair.

Elon musk is an immigrant.

Mudrock family are immigrants, also were in UK while publishing xenophobia.

Shiity people often abuse the USA's liberties in bad faith and prosper.

But govt people allowed the mergers until the media are mostly owned by them, soon there will be ONE major grocery chain in USA, apparently the Loblaw imbroglio is invisible from Wash DC, and buying and selling personal data is commonplace, not even taxed much less protected.

Those Pogo comics of them going downhill out of control are from the 50s, that pure copper penny still hasn't dropped.

Who got bailed out in 2008? And who bailed them out?

Ah yes, let's attack our neighbors who try to save their money, and let's ignore the bankers and politicians who created the system that incentivizes this behavior.

Don’t forget the massive property tax increases and home insurance increases. Both have doubled in less than 10 years. At least they have here in FL with our wack job governor.

One of my best friends is an illegal immigrant and I've realized that he is here doing what I'm doing. Trying to get by and provide for his family. If the tables were turned I'd do the same and if all these people against them say they wouldn't, they are full of shit. Actually, there's such shitty people that they probably wouldn't anyway.

You all are fundamentally missing something with real estate pricing increasing, and that's how it's used for money laundering.

You know how you can sell a piece of art to someone for any price and how that gets used for money laundering? Well, the rich do that with houses and property too. Hint: a lot of real estate agents aren't really working as real estate agents. They are someone's escort or drug dealer etc who gets payment in the form of a cut of the property they "sold," but in reality was a pre-planned transaction that didn't really need real estate agents to facilitate.

So basically they are subsidizing illegal activity with our properties.

These two groups are the same people.

Those dern im'gints controlin' the means'o production.
