Speaker Ryan offers employers 1.35 million more cheap visa-workers if they pressure House Freedom Caucus to endorse DACA amnesty. Cheap-labor H-2C program would cut wages for Americans (& legal immigrants) throughout food sector. 'Mainstream media' is mute https://t.co/P8N8pYsvBz
— Neil Munro (@NeilMunroDC) June 26, 2018
Latin American farmworkers are nice people, I’m sure, but when they come to America they start at the rock bottom of the class system and basically only move up when some newer farmworkers are imported to take their jobs as they move on to, say, working in warehouses and the like. Yeah, their kids move up the ladder some on average.
But when this process was measured out to four generations by the UCLA Chicano Studies program in 2000, the long-term descendants’ educational attainment was not all that encouraging in terms of, say, what was implied about taxes the 3rd and 4th generation descendants of immigrant farmworkers paid versus budgets spent on their education, health care, welfare, policing and jailing.
Life’s good for Gavin Newsom
For some people, like Democratic candidate for governor of California Gavin Newsom, this widespread trajectory is a feature not a bug of the system. Newsom is one of those people: a straight white male from a privileged background: his father was a judge and a lawyer for Getty Oil. (A family friend and business partner of Newsom in a wine shop was Gordon Getty, who was at one time the richest man in America and inspired Gordon Gekko in Wall Street). Newsom is so aristocratically fair and fine-featured that he makes Justin Trudeau look like a commoner.
By all that we’ve read over the decades about the Latino Electoral Tsunami that will be breaking real soon now, Newsom’s career should have been swept away by now by all the brilliant Latino politicians who must have arrived on the scene in recent decades.
Except … there aren’t many brilliant Latino politicians in California. (See above about how a huge fraction of California Latinos are descended from people who couldn’t get better jobs than picking crops in Delano.) Former L.A. mayor Anthony Villaraigosa was treated by the national media as if he must be one of those hypothesized brilliant Mexican-American politicians, but not by California Democratic primary voters, who viewed him like the inept overgrown juvenile delinquent he is and gave him 13% of the vote earlier this month.
On the other hand, enough Latino voters can be counted on to show up at the polls in California in November to elect Gavin Newsom governor of the largest state in the union. So it’s really all win-win-win-win for Gavin Newsom.

I thought junk bond king Michael Milken was the inspiration for Gordon Gekko? Getty wasn’t active in Wall Street trading until long after the movie and didn’t do anything like what was depicted in the movie. As far as I can see from Wikipedia, Getty’s biggest talent is musical composition. He was worth $2B after his inheritance and today, decades later after market run-ups, is still worth the same amount, so he is about as big a market shark as I am.

Ron Unz believes that in the long-term, Hispanics will economically converge with the White population. I’m not sure if he’s correct, but Hispanics do demonstrate encouraging signs. In recent years, there’s been a dramatic fall in their high school dropout rate, teen pregnancy rate, and propensity to join gangs. At the same time, their incomes have increased significantly and they’ve become far more likely to attend college. Interestingly, their fertility rate is becoming much more like that of a middle-class, first-world population.
Does that mean they’ll become middle-class someday? Maybe, maybe not…….. but there are many encouraging signs.
According to Ron Unz, this is because the study’s sample is skewed. His theory is that more successful Hispanics marry out and dissolve in the White population, while the less successful stay in ethnic ghettos. He believes that it’s the less successful, ghettoized 3rd/4th generation Hispanics who were over sampled in the survey, while the more successful were absorbed and therefore couldn’t be sampled.
But maybe he had some actual data for his claims.

Italian is.....well, it's one particular dialect of il volgare, of many still in existence in Italy.
There wasn't a Unified and Official Italy until Garibaldi, and "official Italian" was an artificial construct, as it were. Before then a Florentine could no more easily converse with a Venetian than he could with a Spaniard or Frenchman.

In theory there could be a fair trade off like that. But it will never come from Paul Ryan.
By the way, it should be emphasized that income doesn’t always correlate highly with value creation. Sometimes people contribute significantly to the GDP, but are unpaid due to factors like labor market competition or information asymmetry. Sometimes people contribute little to the GDP, but reap huge rewards due to being in a lucrative economic niche.
For example, if you’re an illegal alien or “temporary” farm worker, you’re often extremely desperate and will take whatever wage is offered. So you’re not really in a position to bargain well and will likely be underpaid significantly. However, your employer (and whatever investors/partners he has) will realize labor savings and reap a higher income. In addition to this, consumers will also see reduced prices in the super market and reap benefit too.
The farm worker might receive more in benefits than he pays in taxes, but he also creates significant value for the employer/investor and consumer. This benefit isn’t really factored into these income/tax calculations.
In a state like California, there are lots of wealthy farmers, restaurant owners, real estate investors, and construction contractors. They became wealthy not just because of their business acumen and work ethic. They became wealthy on the backs of underpaid, often exploited foreign workers.
In many cases, it’s not the entrepreneur/financier who’s the wealth creator. It’s the worker who’s the true wealth creator. Unfortunately, he’s often not in the position to reap the benefits of what’s created.
There used to be many labor unions to negotiate high wages for workers in industries like construction, agricultural, and meatpacking. However, during the 70s and 80s, businessmen broke unions across the country. This made it easier to keep wages low and working conditions poor. Many employers brought in non-union “scab” labor or outsourced to pro-business “right to work” states.
In Republican-dominated California, business-friendly local politicians (such as Pete Wilson) were very instrumental in fighting unions, suppressing the minimum wage, minimizing labor regulations&workplace enforcement, zoning land for development, and making life very pleasant for the local oligarchs. This created enormous amounts of wealth for the oligarchs and kept economic growth high, which pulled in large numbers of lower-paid migrant workers.

Despite Ryan’s best efforts to destroy the morale of GOP voters, enthusiasm for Trump, and enthusiasm for winning the midterms in order to help Trump, was extremely high.
However, the average age of attendees was also very high. And they didn’t seem to grasp what was really going on. (They seemed to believe (e.g.) that Trump was on the verge of banning abortion if we could just get him a bigger house majority. Alarming but whatever, a win is a win)

And then, in the district right next to ours, the GOP congressman is Paul Ryan.
In other words, do I want my toenails pulled out with Mark Pocan, or do I want my fingernails AND toenails pulled out with Paul Ryan?
I’ll stick with the Democrats until the Wisconsin GOP cleans up its act. Sorry if that offends anyone.
(To be fair, sometimes I can’t bring myself to vote for Pocan. I know he has a 100% chance of winning, so sometimes I vote against him just because I can without fear of a Ryan clone winning.)
Mandatory E-verify is an absolute necessity for any program to shutoff the flow of illegals and get the ones here to self-deport.
This is where i find Trump and the Republicans absolutely maddening. Is there an *easier* case to make than mandatory E-verify? It doesn’t sound “mean” at all. It’s “jobs for Americans”. It’s “enforcing the law”. It’s stopping the draw. It’s making employers pay decent wages.
Mandatory E-verify is the kind of issue where the normies line up with you pretty much completely. It’s the kind of issue you can pose–heck as a single clean bill–and run on in a mid-term election … and you’ll win!
And Republicans don’t do it. Trump doesn’t push it.
The democrats like Paul Ryan just look out for their own. Long gone are the days of public service. I was never given nor took anything I didn’t work for,unlike the fake “public servants”.
In the aggregate, the sum of all of these individual dead losses is truly enormous.
The upshot is that the productive workers of the future USA will have their living standards well and truly diminished by the present existence of the grunt army.
No two ways about. Anyone who tries to claim otherwise is either a fool or a liar.Replies: @Jim Don Bob
Agreed. And they are also a social dead loss, because we have to listen to sh***y Mexican music at McDonalds, have every sign and instruction manual in English and Spanish, press 1 for English, etc.
Some of their women are cute before they get fat, but that’s the best thing I can say. Send them all home now. I don’t care what it costs.
You mean POTUS? Or DJT?
If POTUS, that’s just another bit of acronymizing. Shortcutting.
If DJT, there’s no need to spell out the name of a man whose very silhouette is as recognizable as that of Washington or Lincoln–as we used to cut them out of black construction paper in 1st grade in the days before they, and not a Communist degenerate plagiarist preacher, had named national holidays.
Not sure that reflects on “the Republic” at all. JFK was called that back in the day, ditto DDE.
Does that mean they'll become middle-class someday? Maybe, maybe not........ but there are many encouraging signs.According to Ron Unz, this is because the study's sample is skewed. His theory is that more successful Hispanics marry out and dissolve in the White population, while the less successful stay in ethnic ghettos. He believes that it's the less successful, ghettoized 3rd/4th generation Hispanics who were over sampled in the survey, while the more successful were absorbed and therefore couldn't be sampled.Replies: @BB753, @Thea, @Anonymouse
Many local (Austin Texas) Hispanics of Mexican origin marry whites. And vice versa.

Those are fighting words for the Chamber of Commerce. You can’t have that! What’s good for ordinary citizens is bad for the “economy”, i.e. big corporations.
Of the kiddies who will attend that school, more will be Chinese, than Latino. So Vargas being Philipino is kind of a two-fer. (The largest single contingent at the future Vargas Elementary School will likely be Indians.)

Youse cheezers used to do better than vacillating between the two wings of the UniParty. ;D
Pocan–does he still live on that half-million-dollar three-acre spread outside 95.8% white Black Earth? Easy not to care about ICE when your townlet of residence has something like 17 Hispanics total.

Or is it 97.9% white Vermont, Wisconsin, with 6 Hispanics?

Pocan had some sort of major heart surgery, didn’t he? (A contact was in Mad General at the same time last year and passed this along.) Anybody being groomed as his Rainbow successor? Assuming that Second’s House seat now a sinecure for the Rainbow Flag Candidate du Jour.
Your voting strategy sounds sensible to me. I remember when Petey Ryan, the up and coming junior political striver and Jack Kemp protegee, was literally carrying canapes at GOP fundraisers.
I mean, at least Pocan owned a print shop…which appears to be still operating.
Ryan has never had a real job. The year he drafted press releases for his family’s construction company doesn’t count. He’s always been part of the political access/patronage class. To think of him lecturing the rest of us about where best to get our labor force is endurable only with old-fashioned-glassesful of satiric humor.

Participating in the Dem-Repub charade simply perpetuates it.

So how are you going to force employers, especially the non White turd world immigrant employers to use E verify?

I’ve noticed that the street and school names often get changed just before a new immigrant wave moves in and the name no longer represents the ethnicity of the students and residents.
