Some business owners were angered by Biden's decision to grant hundreds of thousands of work permits to illegal immigrants...

Last September, The Biden administration announced that it would be offering hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan migrants and thousands of Afghan nationals already in the U.S. – including those in the country illegally – work permits and protections from deportations, amid a historic surge at the southern border.

"It’s offensive that my employees and other immigrants are being leapfrogged by new arrivals,"

The foreign born naturalized citizens who think this is unfair will still vote 70%-75% Democrat.

The Jewish Americans who are stunned at the unconcealed anti-Semitism of the American Hard Left will still vote 80% Democrat.

All of these folks would choose suicide before voting Republican.

Stop complaining. Don’t hire the freeloading bass turds. Most of them have already proclaimed they didn’t come here to work. They’re here to Partay and to force the dumbass gringos to provide them with a better life. The Walmart here has more huge screen TVs right now than all of the Black Friday Walmarts put together. they’re selling like hot cakes and we’re paying for them.

Which seems kind of confusing, since they can collect more taxpayer money than they could ever earn in a menial or mid-range job, what with welfare and free housing, free food, and in several states their ‘Illegal Alien Cash Bonuses”. Why would they even want jobs?
