This is such a clear astroturfed protest. Labor has always opposed illegal immigrants taking their jobs and driving down their wages.
4 day old account, only commented on this article. Okay to dismiss as a troll.
I’ve gotten a report on this comment. I’m going to let it stay, but please don’t spread disinformation in here, or you will be banned.
I have plenty of proof of these protests being funded and organized by capitalist interests including video of protesters admitting they are paid to do it. This is the definition of astroturfed. Here is just one article about it. https://slaynews.com/news/minneapolis-anti-ice-protests-exposed-astroturf-operation-funded-democrat-donor-networks/
If disinformation means information you don’t like, please tell me what that is.
Dear lord, reading that article it’s full of a lot of “believes” and “reportedly” with zero actual proof to back up any of that bullshit. Well, can’t say I didn’t warn you. Banned.
Um, I’m just gonna assume you weren’t there. Because there were a lot of union leaders who are proud of their workers who came here from somewhere else and were legally here with valid work credentials until the Pedo Premier decided they weren’t anymore.
The rally was massive and I streamed the whole thing: https://youtube.com/live/G-GiIKxvdCg
…y’know, if you want facts about what was there rather than lame and bigoted suppositions.
Stream does cut out a couple of places for a few seconds because I’m on T-Mobile and the signal is ass down here. I’m a legally blind guy on zero budget here. And I just found out that after months of being out at the ICE building, they’ve started clusterbombing tear gas and flash bang grenades. I’ve got hearing protection, but no respirator yet.
Capitalists generally want illegal immigrants because of basic labor economics:
- Illegal immigrants can be and usually are paid less than legal citizens.
- The illegals can be treated poorly because they lack legal recourse due to their status.
- Hiring illegals reduces number of jobs available for citizens
- Hiring illegals suppresses wages because of higher labor supply and the wages they are paid. This is basic economics.
If your labor union is supporting illegals and/or opposing immigration control, your union is working on behalf of the capitalists rather than you.
Ah yes that’s what Unions should be about. Dividing people.
No mate a workers a worker a worker. Don’t like that undocumented people are paid less? Sounds like another good reason to get them documented. The immigrant worker is as much of an ally as any other
Making illegals legal still increases the labor supply which causes fewer jobs to be available and wages to be lower. If you want fewer job openings and wages to be lower, you should support immigration. This basic supply and demand chart demonstrates how increasing labor supply (immigrants) reduces wages.

illegals
These are people.
In America?
Says the account that calls themself a “Mayflower American” and warns against “degeneracy” maybe your perspective isn’t one that aligns with Portland labor?
ESAD asshole
