The Ukrainians are getting scooped up by corporations because they know stuff. Unlike the useless scourge of society that's invading the Southern border and becoming a ward of the state. The Ukrainians know Engineering, Computer science and anything but teaching. They want to work. They have pride.

Yeah, but do they know how to get up on a three story roof? Everything built in Florida is by illegals. You can't even operate a large construction business unless you have a huge gang of them. You have family in Haines city, who do you think is harvesting all of the strawberries and oranges, it's not the ukranians.

I'm not saying let it be a free for all, but we kind of need the ones here who do work. And there are a lot of them.

I highly disagree with the first poster's post.
Many that come here to work from Latin America are very hard workers. They are doing work that it doesn't seem would be done by folks at home. Remember that the next time you eat an apple.
You could just talk about the story without being an asshole. Just say "Ukrainians are being hired by corporations" and leave it at that. You don't have to insult another culture or people.
And I agree with Sally, we do need them here to work. But not a free for all. It needs to be a system-not only to protect Americans, but to protect them. How many get hired illegally and then treated like crap? There needs to be checks and balances on both sides.

Yeah, but do they know how to get to Sesame Street?

Well at least they're not Fentanal dealers or MS-13 or have been deported before for crimes.

I have said it many times I don't mind immigration its the senseless letting in of anyone that gets to that border. it's not racist. There is no vetting process. Simple as that.
Tossing the term racist at anyone that disagrees with the status quo is below the grade of simpleton.

I dont believe it's racist to say it's a huge problem because it is, many of them are here causing trouble and just being a giant wart on society's ass. I'm not against the ones that are here working though whether they're doing it illegally or not. Like I said, nothing would be getting done otherwise.

How about racist troll?
Do you need the definition of racist?
a person who is prejudiced against or antagonistic toward people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.

None of it's true and you're a racist, end of story! God forbid you say anything against anything anymore and you're labled a racist, homophobe white supremacist, anti science misinformation spreader. It's really becoming disgusting.

I've never called Maggot a racist before, I've always stopped short of saying that, but when one denigrates an entire group of people because of where they come from, that's racist. It just is.

Dammit! And I thought it was my lawn jockey or when I wear my Casper the ghost sheet on Halloween, wait, I know it HAS to be my lifetime membership to the John Birch Society.

It's a shame that being anti-racist doesn't make a person anti-racialist.

All of these white people who are always screaming racist are in fact racialist, but too fucking stupid to realize it.

I once started a thread called I MIGHT BE A BIGOT. I still remember how I felt that day.
