The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Gee, nobody has mentioned that president Biden has now created more than 15,000,000 jobs in a little more than three years and the unemployment rate has dropped to 3.8 percent after March's blow-out jobs report.

Yeah, well woopiedo..

“KEY FINDINGS:
• Immigrants compose an increasingly large share of the U.S. labor force and a growing share of low-wage workers. Immigrants are 11 percent of all U.S. residents, but 14 percent of all workers and 20 percent of low-wage workers.
• Immigrants’ hourly wages are lower on average than those for natives, and nearly half earn less than 200 percent of the minimum wage—versus one-third of native workers.
• Immigrant workers are much more likely than natives to drop out of high school (30 versus
8 percent), and are far more likely to have less than a ninth-grade education (18 versus 1 percent).
• Three-fourths of all U.S. workers with less than a ninth-grade education are immigrants.
• Nearly two-thirds of low-wage immigrant workers do not speak English proficiently, and most
of these workers have had little formal education.
• Two of every five low-wage immigrant workers are undocumented. Labor force participation is
higher among undocumented men than among men who are legal immigrants or U.S. citizens. • While the low-wage native labor force is mainly female (59 percent), men dominate the
low-wage immigrant labor force (56 percent).
• Even though they are less likely to participate in the labor force, female immigrant workers
are better educated and more likely to be in the United States legally than male immigrants. • Foreign-born women earn substantially lower wages than either foreign-born men or native
women.”

The democrats among other reasons wanting the hoards of illegal alien coming to America is for the cheap labor.
