It's the same shit every time "hurr durr le immigrants are just freeloading!!1" when A. America actually has jack shit for welfare, and B. is always said by some asshole who thinks he "works hard" but has zero idea how many migrants often are filling the 12-14 hour work days in farm country or other low tier physical labor jobs that actually keeps this country ticking. You wanna go pick olives in California 100deg heat for weeks on end? Be my guest. I'll wait.
Im sure theres some that get into the system, but the vast majority are ekeing out an honest living like the rest of us. We all know this is just camouflage for hating on whatever different color happens to be migrating. Latin americans are just the most common victim so thats what I chose as an example.
You're not being sneaky and everyone can see right through it. Kindly fuck off with that attitude. America is a place for everyone to seek their fortunes.
Sneaky? Mate, I just posted a shitty meme,nothing sneaky about. Its pretty clear.
Also, fuck off with the "Mexicans are 2nd class citizens who deserve nothing more than to pick olives in 100deg heat" bullshit. Its xenophobic and nationalistic.
Can you point to the part where they said Mexicans deserve nothing more than to pick olives in 100deg hear? That's a very serious accusation.
Its a very clear dogwhistle
What about what they said was a dog whistle? It looked to me like they were acknowledging the reality that a migrant worker, especially if they're undocumented, doesn't have certain skills (or the right certification in a skill), or they don't speak the language, that worker is going to end up in some really hard labor, low paying, low worker protection jobs. They said migrants work incredibly hard doing work the country collapses without, in counter to your meme implying they come here for the welfare benefits that our country sucks at.
What I did not see was where they said or implied that was what the worker deserved or that it was okay. Only that it's a reality. Is reality the dog whistle?
You, on the other hand, posted a meme implying that people come here for welfare handouts and then act like they built the country from scratch. "LiKe mY aNcEsToRs" who stole the country from the people who lived here. THAT sounds like a dog whistle. Only without the usual subtly.
I think maybe the pot is calling the kettle black and appropriating terms to make itself look innocent.
