    jobs we don’t want to do anyway

    How about they pay decently for those jobs and provide decent working conditions and you’ll have plenty of people who would want to do those jobs.

    But no, we must take advantage of illegal immigrants because “nobody wants to do those jobs”.

        It took me 8,5€ per hour. You picked a perfect example since that’s something I’ve actually done

            Lmao I’m sure all those struggling people unable to find decent work would turn down a job if it paid decent and working conditions were adequate. Fucking lazy poor people…

              yes, exactly. and then what do those poor lazy people do when prices on all those goods rise because of the increased labor costs? the exact same situation all over again.

                Oh no not increased labour costs, clearly abusive working conditions are better than having to pay more for labour. If you can’t do affordable strawberries without using illegal immigrants as your workforce then I’d say we probably should do without affordable strawberries.

                  we’re not just talking about strawberries. we’re talking about literally all food production. construction. service industries. landscaping. it’s simply a fantasy to think we could “do without” all that stuff or kick out all of the people doing these jobs and magically fill the positions with out of work citizens. the unemployment rate is already about as low as it could be at 4.1%.

                    Somehow other countries manage without abusing illegal immigrantion on such a massive scale. Hell, some places have all those workers unionized.
