It is the democrats (and most of the republicans) who use mass migration and free trade to depress the value of labor. Reducing the value of work keeps the rich rich. It is on purpose.

Migrants aren't keeping down wages, it's your boss.

If i had a business that made widgets and I payed americans $15 an hour to make them and my competitor payed a Chinese slave $2 a day to make them I would be homeless.
Mass immigration and free trade is a Koch Brothers Far Right Conspiracy made to pickpocket money from Americans through the use of foreigners. Every time a boss pays a foreigner 2 dollars for the work he would have to pay an American, he is not creating 13 dollars, he is pickpocketing 13 from an American citizen (who would now be homeless).

To be clear, that is globalization that is trading your labor for cheap overseas labor, not migrants. Blame the multinationals for that. Migrants taking jobs alone is not harming US workers.

It's simple supply and demand. If you increase the number of workers you decrease the value of work. It is really quite simple. If you are for immigration you are on the right.

You are completely ass backwards here. Conservatives are the strongest proponents of immigration, look at the policies of the Trump administration, look at his base. He literally ran on building a wall, and scapegoating immigrants, painting them as criminals.

People on the left want to accept immigrants and refugees, and as for leftists like me, that is, anarchists, I want no borders at all.

You laughably misunderstand supply and demand. When you increase the number of workers in the United States you increase the supply for labor, and you also increase its demand, because those surplus workers are also consumers.

Then please tell me your theory on why wages have not increased in 50 years and at the same time the wealth gap has grown so large.

Because neoliberal policies have had the government bending over backwards to please corporations. We’ve cut their taxes, placed incentives for them to stay producing domestically (which they use to relocate overseas anyway) and diminished the power of unionized labor drastically, including stripping labor of many rights. A majority of factory jobs at one time threatened to fire anyone considering joining a union.

Wealth, on a global scale, is trickling toward the top.

Trickle down economics never worked, because those at the top kept their gains for themselves, and it did not reach the lower and middle classes.

When have any conservatives said that they "hate the homeless"?
And it is the Democrat policies in Democrat-controlled cities and Democrat controlled States that have created the homeless problems.

Shit, can't you ever get anything right?

Admittedly some liberals have latched onto neoliberal policies, including globalization and austerity measures and criminalization of the poor.

Using them as a refrain reducing them to nothing but a societal ill for the sake of partisan is not hate, it's worse. Hate would entail looking at them as worthy of such, not as flotsam to be ridded from your view.

"Democrat policies in Democrat-controlled cities and Democrat controlled States that have created the homeless problems."

That is just silly given Republicans constantly trying to cutback programs that would assist the needy while supporting those that aid the wealthy and corporations (even incentivizing and subsidizing their departure to other countries in the name of cheaper labor), not to mention poverty rates and public assistance are highest in the Bible Belt and other so-called Red States, ironically dependent on Blue States (Democrat run) for their funding.

"That is just silly given Republicans constantly trying to cutback programs that would assist the needy while supporting those that aid the wealthy and corporations". Again, look at who has been in control, politically, for the past 5 or more decades in those areas where the homeless problems are so bad.
Trillions of dollars have been spent on the "War on Poverty" since LBJ showed us all his appendectomy scar. Non of it has put a dent in poverty. In fact, most of those policies over the years has fostered the never ending cycle of poverty and welfare from one generation to the next and on the following generations. That, is what I would call silly.
I don't have an answer or solution for it, but I know what we have been doing hasn't worked, and throwing more money πŸ’°πŸ’°πŸ’°πŸ’° at it isn't the answer, obviously.

Both political parties are to blame when it comes to tax subsidies and corporate welfare.

The ultimate blame goes to me and you for putting up with it all these years.

The answer isn't poverty programs, it is resources that will stabilize people mentally, physically and financially.

What the hell does that mean?
All of that takes money...the same money that makes up the poverty programs in the first place.

Granted, you were living in Sweden at the time (for whom it may concern, he's posted this before, most recently about a week ago, please look it up), but surely you have heard of him visiting impoverished Appalachians - log cabins, no glass windows, no shoes, etc - on his Poverty Tours?

Now here we are, on a site where most of the few actual Americans can afford the luxury of the latest computer device of their choosing to doodle away despite being unemployed - I mean, 'at their job' *winks in sarcasm* and you're talking that these mostly overweight fellas aren't better off than their emaciated folks were?

pffffft, do you really not remember how it was back home back then?

We never said we hate the homeless. We just don’t like people who steal our money and give it to lazy people
