The cheap labor was keeping america a producing nation. Look at whats happened to American agriculture...since the gov outlawed foreign labor your farming exports have dropped considerably.
Trump is fighting for antiquated industries. He is single handedly putting candy in peoples hands while stealing everything out of the refrigerator.
Outlawed foreign labor? What clown world do you live in? Maybe stricter laws but ((((they)))) have ways around it. Look at all the picking crews, meat plants. Nothing but foreign labor. Many illegals. A green card or work visa is still foreign labor. Venezuealans are here running uber 24 7. Scams and all at the airport.No one cares. Now all of the trucking jobs are cheap foreigners woring for peanuts which is why I gave up my own authority last year. Best thing I did, 1 year after Trump took office we went from averaging 3 bucks a mile loaded to 1.80 a mile in a year and a half. Thats only because we knew where to go and when to be....but so do they eventually. And the brokers always find the cheap trucks.....1.20 loss in avh may not sound like much but when youre running 100k plus miles a year loaded. Do the math. Im a good ***** though.

Face it. Immigrants (documented or undocumented) do many jobs Americans dont want to do or are incapable of doing.
Trumps policies are hurting America in the long term. In the short term you are seeing a bump in available jobs but no one is paying attention to automation. Why do you think automotive companies are so quick to leave your country for production....
I would say it's not Uber. I would say it's more pointed to the trend of house holds now require 2 salaries in order to purchase a home. Something that has occurred over the course of 40-50 years. And now in order to be "well off", or at least at the level of living compared to the 1950-60s, you need 2 incomes. Housing prices have adjusted to this over the years and it's near impossible for middle class to purchase a home without a 2 income family. And then you add child care on top if it is 2 incomes. Just gets out of hand from there. So people then pickup these side gigs. If one spouse stays home, the other is working 2 jobs to meet the bills. Housing in the US has become a large issue over the last 20 years. Home prices in most areas are 2x what they were 5, 10, 15 or 20 years ago. Yet wages for a 1 income home have not adjusted as it's normal for households to now have 2 earners in the home.

Once upon a time I would say immigrants did jobs no one wanted. Now though..... (shrug).... I see immigrants working construction, roofing, hotel services, on and on. Manage McDs you better be bi-lingual to communicate with your staff. Used to be they came and worked the fields, which yea, no one wanted. Now, they drive labor costs down on what was once decent paying jobs. And don't get me started on H1B visas. Which ARE taking high paying jobs with cheaper international labor that come to the US.
If Bernie wants to give free education, I'm all for that. IF we are giving free education to careers in demand. Not a free education so some worthless degree in Transgender Social Economics or Fine Arts can be handed out. We need tech people. Trade skills education. Etc. Any jobs that are being filled with H1B visas the US should be handing out free education for. Hell, any military Vet should get a free Tech Education so they have a skill in need once they finish their service.

Old news. And the idiot walks in front of a car and gets hit if you watch the video. Granted Uber was partially to blame as they had disabled the "hard breaking emergency" code for some stupid reason. The car (software) saw the pedestrian, but because that code was disabled the car didn't hard break.
Pedestrians get hit and killed all the time doing the same stupid thing yet it's not blown out of proportion like that story.

And if youre an immigrant, you continue to get govt benefits. Meanwhile having 3 or 4 families in a home enabling them to pool enough money to buy a cookie cutter home right on top of their neighbor with nonyard no grass. 5 cars parked in driceway streets have so many cars parked you cannot even naviagte the neighborhoods to dropnoff pax or pu. Garbage morning....wow. full cans plus 5 bags stacked on top. Yep American Dream.

Why only immigrants? I think if you are a citizen that feeds off the gov tit you should also be cut off. Everything youve stated above is not unique to immigrants. There are a ton of lazy "Americans"

I actually have no problem with this. And I do see it as "The American Dream". Because while the 3-4 families are pooling and working their asses off at zero skill jobs, their children are getting an education. And those children will most likely go on to be productive US middle class Citizens. Living in poverty from where ever they came from to now living that dream. All in 1 generation. And even with the years in the conditions they live in in the US, it's probably better than what they had where ever they came from.

Meanwhile creating "white flight" because their kids cant get a decent education anymore forcing the move. We must lower our standards to bring them up. Yea ive seen it all. Im experiencing it right now. Cant wait for the next crash. Im ready. Prepared to invest on others burdens. Thats the new American dream taking advantage of the weak and dumb. Thank a boomer
There are generations of Americans that have been on social assistance. My understanding is that it should only be a stopgap to help people through hard times.
Now that Trump has brought back millions of jobs...why is there a need for social assistance for anyone with the exception of the very ill or elderly?
I dont buy it. But I also dont disagree. Its an illusion created by the wealthy. Its ok. Thank a boomer.

You tell me? You yearn to throw that bait out there. I never implied that. Im implying that we are forced as white Americans to bow to the governments tyranny and immigration is forced upon out neighborhoods along with section 8 living. I didnt ask for the impositiom at my door step.
Why is it drivers prefer to pickup white passengers over others. Why is it that drivers avoid the hood.

Hmm...what about the black americans or the native americans....have they been forced too or just the white americans? What exactly are your neighborhoods called?
Do drivers not pick up people that are not caucasian? I had no idea that Americans had that option. Is it an in app setting?
I am not being facetious....I am genuinely intrigued by your way of thinking.

Yea. Its not really a way of thinking but experienced uber drivers avoid certain areas for a reason. There are several posts about this topic on uberpeople. Im not trying to make anything about what someone looks like its just the truth to ubering. You want to get 1 stars no tip and rude pax....roll into the hood. Then report back. Everyone hates ****** but ****** is generally the best tipper and its proof on the pudding once again several drivers have reported this on here. Not to hurt anyones feelings but more times than not my pax tell me how relieved they are when I show up for the ride and not a foreign born. I often get hired on the side to be a private driver so they can avoid being picked up by non english speaking drivers.
America is the only country to embrace the stupid immigrants first. We want the sickest most dependent Democrats possible. Germany, Singapore France etc all take smart first...educated first...
