“Immigrants fill jobs Americans don’t want to do,” he said.
Undocumented immigrants fill jobs Americans don't want to do for the exploitative wages the employers pay.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Both are true.
Many immigrants are highly educated and hold well-paying jobs, but the vast majority of immigrants, legal or otherwise, are a source of cheap(er) labor. They make about 86¢ per dollar their native-born peers make, and they're less likely to hold management and higher positions.
Finally. Crack down on employers and you'll cease to have a problem if thats what this is all really about
If anyone wants a reality check: Trump will install cronies everywhere who will fabricate charges and evidence to put ANYONE in jail. The courts are packed in most states with people he appointed. This is a police state.
The US has been a police state for over 20 years. Trump's just going mask-off with it
So who was the single person who all authority figures bent the knee to before Trump?
You're describing a dictatorship. That's not what police state means. They often go together but each can exist without the other. A multiparty representative government is perfectly capable of running a police state, and the US has been doing so since 2002.
After 9/11 the federal government, through the Patriot act and others like it, gave themselves the power to spy on everything a citizen does, detain them indefinitely, torture them, seize their assets, or declare them an enemy combatant and target them with a drone.
The US was a police state long before Trump came along. He's a symptom. Maybe even an inevitability.

I shut off.
But even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Dude makes billions off fascism and state violence then complains about a "crackdown".
Somebody should've cracked down on this creep long ago.
Too little too late.
lol buckle up, shitty miami guy
Will it make Trump stop being a little whiny baby bitch? I bet if he does it hard enough, then he'll be strong like a big man.
