Holy, straw man argument much? You took one sentence, misinterpreted it, and spiraled it into a complete made-up narrative.

My only point is flooding the market with cheap labor has a ripple effect that brings down wages as a whole, not just for those being exploited. Nothing I said suggests that immigrants are to blame by "taking our jobs".

TFWs aren't the only way immigrants are being exploited, that is short sighted. There's also PGWP propped up by phony trade schools and community colleges. TFWs give capitalists leverage, but it's not the whole problem.

Lmao. Thar is exa tly what you mea. Yoy may not intend it in a derogetory way but "flooding the market with i.migrants" 8s by definition " dey took ur jerbs"

Nope. That puts blame on immigrants, which I wholeheartedly disagree with. I solely argue the nuance of having a disproportionate amount of unskilled workers caused by capitalism. If you don't understand that, then you're probably one of those workers.

Please. People who use Marxist language to justify their xenophobia are the fakest "leftists".
