We don't have enough children, our birth rate is too low. Yet allowing young immigrants to come in? Terrible idea for some reason.
Yeah it's for brown reasons
It's cuz the immigrants are brown.
VSauce ⇒ orange = brown
Guess who's orange
Yeah because they are going to steal your most beloved jobs! Like cleaning and fast food cooking and everyone's childhood career dream of being a toilet lady.
For real though, I could at least follow the logic if it were for high paying, competitive jobs. But these aren't the migrants you are trying to keep out, in fact it is the one every country wants to get in. So why are the migrants the problem who are going to live in relative poverty, agreeing to wage theft, agreeing to horrible living conditions? The ones who won't hardly have enough for a pension.
Also, there is nothing wrong with cleaning, fast food cooking, or toilet ladies. All the more power to them. It is a fucking disgrace that we regard certain unpleasant jobs (that will still need to be done) as low skill, low class, and award them with the lowest pay possible.
People that complain immigrants are taking jobs are complaining about low wages. Immigrants will take low wage jobs when others won't.
Who do you think is employing them and exploiting them via wage theft, I know it's not the left.
Of course not, the left would never own a business
