The Jobs Americans Won’t Do, Or Don’t Have To Do?
We’ve heard the argument many times before: immigrants are coming to America to do the jobs that Americans won’t do. This argument is used by proponents of open borders to attempt to convince people to allow more immigrants into America by making the argument an economic one.
But here is something interesting to consider: there are millions of Americans on the welfare rolls right now who could, and should, be doing those jobs, but they don’t have to because the Democrats lavish them with generous welfare benefits for not working.
Why should some Democrat voter get off her fat, lazy ass and get a job when all she has to do is apply for welfare benefits? She gets free food, subsidized or free housing, free medical care, and even a cash payment for not working. Thanks to the Democrats, she’s got it made.
There are plenty of jobs people don’t want to do. Even doctors have to do things they don’t want to do like give prostate exams. Lots of us have had jobs that we hated, myself included. But we did them because we had no other choice.
So why do Democrats give the welfare class the choice of working or not working? It’s because the Democrats want votes. They tax the workers and give the money to lazy welfare parasites to buy votes. It’s that simple. Democrats buy votes with welfare benefits and cash payments.
Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards are promising ever-greater welfare benefits at every campaign stop because that is what the welfare class wants. And Democrats, being the panderers that they are, are willing to screw over the majority of working Americans to win the votes of the welfare losers.
Democrats screw over America in multiple ways. They reward lazy, uneducated, unskilled losers with generous welfare benefits. Then, there is a resultant shortage of unskilled labor because millions of people are on welfare, so America has to rely on immigrants, many illegal, to do those jobs that Democrat voters should be doing.
There are millions of able-bodied people in America who have spent their entire lives on welfare because of the Democrats. Immigrants aren’t doing the jobs Americans don’t want to do, they are doing the jobs Americans don’t have to do thanks to the Democratic Party.
