Yes, minorities are discriminated against across the world.
Therefore I'd like if the border was secure.
Mexico can secure their southern border, that's not controversial.
The anomaly is libs who think America should be the exception. They also think wages need to go up whole we import as many desperate scabs as possible. How does that work?
If you say you support them, but then talk about how we need immigrants to come here because only they will work for $5/hour then clearly it wasn't a genuine statement.
Virtue signalling doesn't mean being virtuous, or expressing compassion. Virtue signalling is when you BS an opinion you know sounds good, and then act the exact opposite way.

lol who said that

how the fuck is what I understand a "lib" to be going to match your "the boss" character? who am I supposed to hate in your story?

Closed borders, tariffs, and other political impediments create market distortions leading to boom and bust cycles. The solution to low wages (i.e., income inequality) isn't to further sub-divide up the world, doing so only further amplifies the problem.

you realize that your text here would get you labelled "lib" by many in the media
Democratic politicians routinely promote the idea of using immigrants for illegal wages, and mock the right wing for pointing out that this suppresses wages and hurts the middle class.

I don't care what any label is or is not. What I need is clarity of what you mean by "lib" when it does not seem to match the popular media idea. Perhaps avoid the term and merely state what policies are good and what are not good.
