Pretty sure he wants illegals there cause he doesn’t have to pay them shit.

He can literally treat them like slaves. “Do it or I will have you deported immediately.”

You’re describing most people, but are you trying to argue people don’t hire immigrants because they are cheaper labor?

u/BeardofZeus27 21h ago

Let me put it this way. They USED to be cheaper. Now I’d say they’re paid nearly as much as fully licensed and legal individuals. But I’d say unless you go hire day laborers like at Home Depot or something. But if you want someone that does good work for what you need, they cost just as much now.

Illegals or Mexicans? Cause those are not the same thing.

2

u/BeardofZeus27 18h ago

Iillegals. Not exclusive to Mexicans. Plenty of illegal Russians and middle easterners that do great work but are illegal as well. I think quality of work is dictating what’s charged as opposed to legal status as of late.

300,000 illegals work the farms. Most farm workers are illegal

He doesn’t even care about that. That’s just a talking point for him to engage and enrage his base

No Mar a Lago has always been crawling with illegals. The woman who folded his underwear is a known illegal. 

Losing all his illegals would be his “wait this affects me now” moment lmao.

And no trans kids are playing hopscotch, because apparently that is a big threat to America.

u/Pretend-Marsupial258 23h ago

He should stop hiring them to work at his businesses then.

u/Derpy_Diva_ 22h ago

No no the illegals are welcome. Just only if they scrub toilets and never make eye contact with any of the ‘superiors’ around them

Hate to break it to you, but I guarantee you there are illegals working at Mar-A-Lago right this minute.

Republicans are giant hypocrites.
