They are doing a great job going back to the wilderness. Corbyn wouldn't have been this authoritarian.

Those horrible, horrible corporations -- imagine them want to grow revenue and shrink cost -- how DARE they?

If I ran a company, I'd be hoping for demand to stagnate and production costs to rise.

Well done on the most moronic post of the thread.

Unless you're being ironic, in which case we'll done, you got me.

"An Indiana man recently pardoned by President Donald Trump for storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, is dead after being shot by a sheriff’s deputy while allegedly resisting arrest...

Indiana State Police said the traffic stop led to the deputy attempting to arrest Huttle, but Huttle allegedly resisted and struggled with the officer. This “altercation” led to the deputy firing his gun and killing Huttle."

Oh well.

Contrast with UK:
Now then, sir, who do you think you are, Sterling Moss?
Sorry officer, I’m late for a job interview.
Right, I’ll give you an escort, just follow me.

In the UK, illegal immigration through the asylum channels incurs a cost to the economy, but those who don't go through asylum channels contribute to the economy through spending their illegal earnings, even if they do send some of that money overseas.

And what about the costs to the economy?

Those illegal earnings aren't subject to any tax and they're driving down the value of everyone else's legal labour.

If working illegally they and their employer will also undoubtedly be operating without adhering to any H&S or quality control Regs... a further cost to the economy in many varied ways.

If working illegally they'll also highly likely be living in some squalid, overcrowded illegal HMO... another cost to the economy and an impact on everyone else by forcing up the cost of accommodation.

Posting a six year old article that’s nothing to do with Kamala Harris and thanking God we didn’t get her must rank amongst the strangest posts ever seen on Bluemoon. But you like Trump so I guess it doesn’t need to make any sense.

Thing is no Americans want income tax, trump supporters think they can be supplemented by tariffs, also they are taking all the jobs thing is quite funny, they work a lot for less than minimum wage, so let’s say a legal American wants that job they are going to want more, that cost is then passed on to the customer so suddenly your hotel bill goes up because the person changing your sheets wants a hell of a lot more than the illegal. It’s similar to the immigration problem here, people complaint that their fruit costs more we’ll surprise surprise the people who picked it for peanuts are no longer here.
Just look at how waitresses make their money in the USA it’s all off tips because they don’t get paid a wage or very little it’s on the customer, guess what they now want 18-25% tips! Everyone is complaining, yet if the restaurant paid them a living wage your bill would be higher anyway.

The minimum wage is $7.25 an hour. It isn't immigration that's the issue, as evidenced by the tipping culture that has propped up the income in the hospitality industry for a hundred years while owners profiteer.

And the reason they’ve been allowed to get away with profiteering on the back of offering such a criminally low minimum wage?...

... The devaluation of labour due to mass immigration.

Honestly, it's really not that difficult to see the correlation if you just take your virtue signalling blinkers off for a moment.

And yet politicians could simply have easily raised the minimum wage at any point. They haven't.
I guess you are indicating that multiple national companies, and international ones, are employing illegal immigrants. Or you are saying that these same companies have taken advantage of availability and profiteered because they can, enabled by the politicians who refuse to raise the minimum wage.
Virtue signalling? Oh dear.

It is a bit of a conundrum but I'm not sure it's ok to accept that we should have a huge underclass of little more than slave labourers, earning a pittance and living in squalid, illegal HMO's, driving down the value of everyone's labour, driving up the demand for and cost of accommodation, putting pressure on public infrastructure and public services... all so we can enjoy cheap food and hospitality.
