Empirically and theoretically speaking it doesn’t. Immigration might lower real wages in the short run but in the long run, the supply of physical capital (machines, building, etc.) rises in tandem. Card (1990) shows that the explosive immigrant inflows in the 1980s in Miami had no effects on unemployment and wages.
Way to frame it like you’re some paragon of morality. If you were actually against any of that you’d propose/support labor laws and protections for workers. Instead of that you just crank your shit when brown people get harassed in the streets. But idk man keep gaslighting yourself I guess but neither of us are buying it
Idk how you got the idea that I dont support labor laws and hate brown people... You do know that large companies try to hire as many illegal immigrants as they can as the easiest work around to labor laws right? (They cant protest illegal wages or working conditions when they cant legally be here)
You’re not teaching me anything new. One of the core tenets of conservatism is to be pro-capitalism, pro-business and anti-union. That’s not debatable. If you’re not any of that, then you’re not as conservative as you claim to be. Follow the logic. If an individual tries to “address the labor exploitation of non-white immigrants” while being vehemently against worker’s rights, strongly supporting brutal immigration laws, and being statistically more prone to racism, what does it imply?
It implies your definition of conservative depends heavily on how conservatives are viewed by liberals as opposed to what most conservatives actually believe on most issues Also a large section of conservatives actually support unions when they are voluntary, and simply oppose being forced to join a union as a condition of being hired I really dont know why you are convinced all conservatives are 'vehemently against workers rights', i suggest touching grass and talking to any conservatives irl
Yes as the wikipedias said I am more pro business, pro capitalism, and less pro union than the average liberal I repeat, if you think all or even most conservatives broadly oppose all workers rights/protections, please go touch grass and talk to real IRL human beings, including those with different opinions than you
So your perspectives are largely detrimental to worker’s rights/protections and general conservative perspectives are largely congruent with ethno-nationalism. Either you’re not conservative, you’re severely misinformed, or you’re just lying. You haven’t stated anything congruent with valuing protections for migrant workers. Only that you’re conservative, implying that you value deportation over protection. I think you’re full of shit and just shifting the goalposts. Deflecting to “touch grass”
