'Altruistic sympathisers' of illegal immigrants are croneys

[mayfly13]

The equivalent of the American illegals situation over here is the Philipino situation.

Most Philipinos over here have finesse; they all attended Middle and High school, even if they dropped out earlier. But a % of them are from very remote, poor islands with no running water, no ammenities and with atrocious, primitive education opportunities. It's hard for such a person to ever close the gap later in life.

It's starting to emerge that quite a few private businesses prefer the latter not only over native-born Australians, but also over all other immigrants -Philipinos included-. These poorly educated islanders would put up with anything, because:
a. they are desperate not to go back b. they don't know their rights.

Do you, as Americans like seeing blue-collar Americans or immigrants lose their livelihoods to a scheme that brings in the least educated, most exploitable South Americans?

People in the US are losing many jobs due to offshoring of call centers to the PI.

That’s not a thing here. Highly likely is it there either. No one here is going to do the job these people take. Without knowing I would guess it’s the same there. Anyone bitching about immigration policy should simply advocate extraordinarily harsh punishments for the people that employ them. Mandatory union card for employment. There’s all sorts of easy ways to solve it. But why fix anything when you can grandstand on it?

That's a naive and oversimplified question. We have immigration laws that seem to be too lax for many. That's based on a global immigration stance from the 1960s.

Immigrants have always existed and always will exist.
