Nobody is importing cheap labor. Are you a moron lmfaooo

What a way to tell me you know nothing of the migration crisis. The answer is right there and instead you take the moronic scenic route.

Such a more obvious way to criticize the west and you choose to be dumb and ineffective lol

The US is absolutely importing cheap labor. It's not even controversial that the H1-B program has been abused to do just that. The AFL-CIO admits immigrants are needed for labor, but they play more coy about the cheap part.

No no no.

Read this post equating immigration to slavery. A work visa is not slavery absolutely silly to defend this.

This post is not equating immigration and slavery. It is using this thing called a metaphor. It highlights an issue or argument using a comparison that shares relevant characteristics.

This is not a metaphor your English teacher is disappointed

It's a comparison just a comparison it's really nothing else.

A specific necessity of a metaphor is that the two are not something you should be able to compare. Like time and apples. It isn't a metaphor if you compare something similar especially if you're trying to make the argument that the two things you're comparing are similar, that's specifically like the opposite of a metaphor

We're not talking about those with visas. We're talking about illegals.
