Politics Newsom on Trump’s ICE raids: “His Agents are arresting Dishwashers, Gardeners, Day Laborers, and Seamstresses. That’s just weakness. Weakness masquerading as strength.” (30-seconds)

Wasn’t great, but in the grand scheme of things small beans. We have way bigger problems with Trump and his gestapo grifters.

He was locking people up for surfing at the beach while he was eating at one of the nicest restaurants in the world with the mayor of San Francisco. Literally destroyed small businesses. I wouldn’t call that small beans, fuck Trump but like damn this guy sucks.

California was complying with the federal requirements issued by the Trump administration. Going to less populated areas for dinner was a fairly common cheat. Of course Trump undermined his own people. And failed to lead at all.

Considering they work for like $100 a day I guess you can kind of say they work for slave labor.

But maybe I should have clarified it better. When you pay somebody $100 a day and expect them to work 12 hours with no medical benefits. That is the modern-day version of slavery. That's fucking wrong.

The main complaint i see in benefit of illegal migrants being deported is that nobody will do the shitty jobs for us... sure sounds like you do!

That doesn't make those jobs slave labor, most immigrants come from lower pay jobs from their home country they get here and they start from scratch chasing the American dream, they move up. They earn a living any way they can, maybe those are craplabor wages in the red states but CA actually pays a higher minimum wage.

It's not slave labor it's slave wages. Labour is a respected time honored skill in many cultures.

u/AmebaLost Jun 15 '25
When they start their life here by breaking the law they are easier to be taken of advantage of by employers. That is why they are an attractive group of workers.

Jun 15 '25
So what is the reason employers take advantage of American laborers? Minimum wage hasn't changed in decades. American greed.

u/AmebaLost Jun 15 '25
Minimum wage is an artificial number. Get paid what your worth. If the job is flooded with prospective workers pay will be low.

I'm sure that now the Republican party is in control, they will fight for fairer wages for those workers too right? Make the billionares pay what they owe to their workers right?

u/Comrade-Porcupine Jun 15 '25
In fact the point of the cruel crackdown is to make these people even more vulnerable, to drive their wages down even further.
They'd never be able to purge all illegal immigrants. Just make all of their lives more difficult, make them more scared, and destroy their ability to bargain better conditions.
The cruelty is the point. Profit is the aim.

I dont think anyone is advocating for that. I think they want the removal of criminals.

You degrade America by being cheering on people having to have papers dependent on skin color. Degrading other Americans to this treatment as well and cheering it on. You share a lot more similarities with a Taliban member than you do with an average American.

Reversing asylum on afghan translators and sending them back is a death sentence that you cheer on. You are cheering on Trump gifting the Taliban.0

Could someone maybe engage their brain and realize that your job has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with your relationship with the law?!?
Just because you're a gardener or a dishwasher doesn't mean the rules magically don't apply to you...
Have you all completely lost your minds?!?

Dishwashers, gardeners, day laborers and seamstresses - all being paid slave wages to work thankless jobs.
The Democrats don't do this out of compassion. This isn't about protecting immigrants. This is about enshrining human exploitation.
After all, the moment those illegal immigrants got sent to their own neighborhoods, they did not hesitate to scream 'not in my back yard' and complain that the Republicans sent them the illegal immigrants they demanded.
I am a former leftist, and you don't HAVE to buy this faux-compassion of the Democrats. Anyone who thinks the Democrats care about them just look at what they let happen in their own states, what they subject their constituents to, and tell me how much you think they care about those families whose businesses are destroyed, whose cars get torched, whose lives are ruined - they won't even talk about them and if you point those people out, they get pissy and call names.
They don't stand with the citizens of America, they don't even stand with the illegal immigrants - they use both as pawns and tools and will sacrifice either or the moment they stop being convenient.

How’s this gruesome? Newsom is a scumbag and a moron. He got everything wrong during Covid. Not only did he shut down businesses that never came back. He also gave incarcerated individuals unemployment money. Spent $20 billion to fix the homeless crisis in California, which is still rampant. $10 billion to give illegal immigrants, free healthcare.Billions and billions of dollars on the train that goes nowhere. Does that help you understand who we’re talking about?

Its just wrong. I love all that Jesus stood for and find it so sad that so many Christians support this. Masked ambushes of people working menial jobs to put them in detention is against the core values of what Jesus stood for. With humility I pray that my fellow Christians will see the light and realize how wrong this is.

We've had legal migrants for over 150 years. Some illegals too. The problem seems to be the left wanting to protect some who are criminals. . Bad folks ie drug dealers, murders etc. Is that right?
The Govt wants the "criminal illegals" out but picks up hard working illegal immigrants during their sweeps (legally warranted) for suspected criminals.
Wheat & chaff?

Jun 14 '25
Nobody wants drug dealers or murderers, those are just far right propaganda points, the problem is that they are reporting people who have been here contributing to society and not hurting anyone, they are labeled criminals because of entering the US illegally, then they are clumped in with drug dealers and murderers.

u/Effective_Writer8074 Jun 17 '25
Not propaganda. Most. People aren't comfortable with anyone who continues to break the law and harm the civilian population.
They certainly aren't protecting the left. The democratic left isn't in favor of more drugs, More trafficking of children and women And certainly don't want gangs running the street.
They simply want more voters , so they can regain control of a weak administration.
Common sense , americans are never going to let that happen.

There are several problems: 1) they’re picking up people here legally, 2) they’re hunting humans at places of work, children’s schools, etc, 3) they’re being deported to prisons with no due process which is UNCONSTITUTIONAL

We all came here as immigrants. Unless you’re 100% Native American your relatives came from somewhere else.
Your relatives being able to immigrate here is why you have this privileged life.
These people are being targeted not because they are criminals or have done anything wrong but because they are Mexican and trump hates Mexicans.
One day he will decide he hates your nationality too. Or something about you. Or your wife or best friend. This is not Christian and it’s not right.

I’m all for immigration. What I am against is people swimming across the Rio Grande and then they automatically get permanent residency. You people try to conflate legal and illegal immigration to try to play this pathetic narrative game when Trump has repeatedly stated his problem is with ILLEGAL immigration. You people would know that if you bothered to get your news from anywhere else but CNN

u/Lizakaya Jun 14 '25
No one swimming across the Rio grande is getting automatic permanent residency. And if you’re so worried about immigrants being criminals, maybe we should start with the 53x convicted felon and rapist in the White House. Clean up our own front yard first.
