As someone who lived in Austin and has seen the entire economy running on the back of mexican workers cleaning the streets, cutting the trees, caring for the everyone’s lawn, doing pest control, making your tacos at torchy’s, fix your roads at 105F etc.
Lol.
You like immigration alright, you just like to blame foreigners for the results of your own policy decisions and grifting of the tremendous oil wealth the state has. Same as Alberta.
It’s not foreigners privatizing the park, keep pushing investment complexes like the domain that need to be filled with tech bros and finance bros from out of state - it’s your own most patriotic texan politicians you keep voting in over and over. (
- ecf 3y agoDing ding ding. I encounter this personally. Family knows the owner of a construction company and almond orchard. They absolutely love the immigrants who cheaply tend to the trees or nail in trusses, he calls them the “good ones”, yet immigration is ruining the country and we need a border wall to keep it safe. It’s about enough to make me lose hope for humanity.
