MEXICAN IMMIGRANTS ARE NO QUESTION BEING TARGETED BY ICE
OFFICIALS UNDER THE TRUMPET MINISTRATION BUT IF YOU CAN
RECALL, TRUMP SAID HE WOULD SPECIFICALLY ROOT OUT AND TARGET
UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS WHO WERE GUILTY OF COMMITTING CRIMES
HOWEVER CASE AFTER CASE PROVIDES EVIDENCE THAT THAT IS NOT
WHAT IS HAPPENING AND RECENTLY MEXICAN IMMIGRANTS FROM
SOUTH JERSEY WHO HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN IN THE UNITED STATES
FOR THREE DECADES WERE JUST DEPORTED EVEN THOUGH THEY
HAVEN'T COMMITTED ANY CRIMES, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE ACTUALLY
BUSINESS OWNERS AND EVEN BOUGHT A HOME IN NEW JERSEY.
OSCAR COMPOS AND HIS WIFE IS THE COUPLE THAT HAS BEEN DEPORTED.
THEY EVEN HAVE FOUR CHILDREN THAT WERE BORN HERE IN THE
UNITED STATES, 24, 22, AND 16 YEARS OLD.
THEY WERE DEPORTED BACK TO MEXICO COME I'M SO THEY
HAVE THREE CHILDREN.
THEY WERE DEPORTED BACK TO MEXICO EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD
PETITION TO STAY.
AGAIN, THEY HAD NOT COMMITTED ANY CRIMES WHATSOEVER.
THERE WERE NO ISSUES WITH THEM WHATSOEVER BUT IT DID NOT
MATTER.
ICE OFFICIALS WANTED THEM OUT AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT
THEY GOT.
AS I LOOK AT A STORY LIKE THAT, I WONDER IF THE RIGHT-WING
LOOKS AT THAT AND CELEBRATES AND I THINK THE ANSWER IS YES SO
WHEN YOU SEE HUGGING HIS DAUGHTER AND HE SIGNED A POWER
OF ATTORNEY TO ONE OF THE OLDER SIBLINGS SO THEY CAN TAKE CARE
OF THE 16-YEAR-OLD WHO IS STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL, A SOPHOMORE AND
TAKE CARE OF THE HOMES MORTGAGE AND THE BUSINESSES, TODAY
CHAIR QUEST I GUESS SO.
THEY GO YEAH, WE GOT THEM.
THIS GUY HAD BEEN HERE FOR 30 YEARS AND RAN HERE FOR FREEDOM
BECAUSE THERE WAS VIOLENCE IN HIS HOMETOWN IN MEXICO AND
HE BELIEVED IN AMERICA AND HE CAME HERE AND HE SETTLED IN
NEW JERSEY, MY HOME STATE, AND LET A GREAT, PRODUCTIVE LIFE.
STARTED A BUSINESS AND EMPLOYED OTHER PEOPLE AND WHEN WE
ROUTE THEM OUT AND LEAVE HIS KIDS BEHIND AND SENT HIM
BACK TO MEXICO ARE RIGHT-WINGERS THRILLED?
I GUESS SO.
I GUESS THEY ARE REALLY REALLY HAPPY LIKE WE TORE THE
FAMILY APART, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
GREAT WORK.
WHAT'S REALLY INTERESTING IS THAT OFTENTIMES WHEN YOU
HEAR THE RIGHT WING TALK ABOUT UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS,
THEY HAVE A VERY DIFFERENT DEPICTION OF THEM.
THEY HAVE A DIFFERENT NARRATIVE AND THAT NARRATIVE IS THE
SAME NARRATIVE THAT YOU HEARD FROM TRUMP DURING THE
ELECTION, THAT THEY ARE CRIMINALS AND RAPISTS AND
DANGEROUS BUT OFTEN TIMES, ESPECIALLY IMMIGRANTS WHO
HAVE BEEN HERE FOR DECADES, THEY ARE JOB CREATORS.
THEY OWNED A LANDSCAPING BUSINESS AND EMPLOYED OTHER
PEOPLE.
THEY'D SUCCESSFUL KIDS WHO GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE.
THEY ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING NEGATIVE HERE IN THE UNITED
STATES, IF ANYTHING, THERE BE ON PRODUCTIVE.
THERE CREATING JOBS BUT UNFORTUNATELY, WE ALLOW THAT
ANTI-EMIGRANT PROPAGANDA TO SEEP INTO SOCIETY SO SUCCESSFULLY
THAT NOW, WE'RE UNFORTUNATELY DOING MORE HARM THAN GOOD.
NO ONE IS MAKING AN ARGUMENT THAT WE SHOULD DEPORT CRIMINALS.
PEOPLE WHO ARE HERE AND THERE UNDOCUMENTED BUT THEY ARE
CAUSING PROBLEMS, THEIR COMMITTING CRIMES,
EVERYBODY AGREES THAT THEY SHOULD BE DEPORTED BUT IN
THIS CASE, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY OUR RESOURCES ARE BEING
USED TO DEPORT THESE PEOPLE.
AND ACTUALLY HURT THE LOCAL ECONOMY.
I KNOW IF YOU ARE RIGHT-WINGERS YOU GOT SOLD
ABILITY GOODS AND MAYBE YOU ENJOYED BUYING THEM OR
MAYBE YOU DIDN'T KNOW BUT YOU REALLY THINK THAT GUY WAS THE
CAUSE OF YOUR PROBLEMS CUSTODIAL PROBLEMS QUESTION YOU DO.
THAT IS WITH THE TV DOESN'T KNOWLEDGE AND THE
POLITICIANS DON'T TECHNOLOGY THAT YOU ARE MAD, AND I
DON'T BLAME YOU FOR THAT.
MINIMUM WAGE IS $7.25.
YOU CAN LIVE OFF THAT.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE TWO JOBS TO EVEN GET TO 30,000.
YOU'RE WORKING 80,002 JOBS TO GET 80,000 A YEAR.
TODAY SUPPRESS YOUR WAGES CLUSTER THEY MUST CERTAINLY DID.
DO YOU THINK IT WAS THAT GUY IN NEW JERSEY WHO SET UP A
LANDSCAPING BUSINESS THAT SUPPRESSOR WAGES?
THAT IS A LIE THEY TOLD YOU.
NO, IT WAS THE DONOR CLASS WHO TOLD THE POLITICIANS I AM
WRITING YOU A CHECK, KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO IS MAKE
SURE YOU DO NOT INCREASE THE MINIMUM WAGE, MAKE SURE YOU
DON'T HAVE WORKPLACE SAFETY, YOU DEREGULATE ALL OF OUR
BUSINESSES AND YOU MAKE SURE THAT YOU LOWER CORPORATE TAXES
AND IN THIS NEXT OUTRAGEOUS TAX CUT BILL, INCREASE TAXES ON
THE MIDDLE CLASS AND THAT IS WHAT THEY'RE GONNA DO.
SO MY QUESTION IS AT WHAT POINT
ARE THEY GOING TO REALIZE THAT THEY CONTINUOUSLY VOTE
AGAINST THEIR BEST INTEREST BECAUSE NOT ONLY DO THEY
THINK IMMIGRANTS LIKE THE ONE WE JUST PROFILED FOR YOU ARE
THE ROOT OF ALL THEIR PROBLEMS, THEY ALSO BELIEVE THAT THINGS
LIKE MINIMUM-WAGE REGULATIONS OR REGULATIONS IN GENERAL ARE
HURTING THEM WHEN IN REALITY, NO, DEREGULATING HAS HURT YOU.
KEEPING WAGES STAGNATE IS SOMETHING THAT THESE
CORPORATIONS HAVE WANTED, CUTTING TAXES FOR THESE
CORPORATIONS HISTORICALLY HAS NOT CREATED MORE JOBS DIED IN
FACT, THEY'VE BEEN REALLY HONEST ABOUT THE FACT THAT THEY'RE
GOING TO TAKE THAT MONEY THAT THEY'RE GOING TO SAY FROM THESE
TAX BREAKS IN THESE TAX CUTS AND THEY ARE GOING TO GO AHEAD
AND BUY THEIR OWN STOCKS OR GIVE THEIR CEOS BIGGER BONUSES.
HOW IS THAT GOING TO HELP YOU AS A WORKER WHO IS DOWN IN THE
DUMPS AND MAYBE HAVING A HARD TIME GETTING EMPLOYED?
THAT IS ANOTHER THING.
DURING THE ELECTION, YOU WILL PERFECTLY DESCRIBE HOW THINGS
GO, HOW THINGS HAVE HAPPENED HISTORICALLY WITH ALL OF THESE
TERRIBLE RIGHT-WING POLICIES AND THEY REJECTED YOU ELITIST.
OKAY, WHAT POINT ARE YOU GOING TO ACCEPT, AFTER ALL THESE
POLICIES AND THE TRUMPET MINISTRATION PAST, AT WHAT
POINT ARE YOU GOING TO ACCEPT THE YOUTH VOTE AGAINST HER
BEST INTEREST OF
I HEAR FROM LIBERTARIANS ESPECIALLY BUT A LOT OF
RIGHT-WINGERS SAID NO, IF YOU TAKE AWAY ALL THE RULES,
ANARCHY IS AWESOME, YOU WILL MAGICALLY GET HIGHER WAGES.
FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU TAKE MINIMUM-WAGE.
THERE IS ONE PLACE IN THE COUNTRY AND I KNOW IT'S
UNIQUE IN A LITTLE DIFFERENT TASTE, BUT THERE WAS A
PLACE WHERE THERE IS NO MINIMUM WAGE ALLOWED.
THAT IS PRESENT.
YOU KNOW WHAT THE WAGES ARE?
THEY ARE AS LOW AS EIGHT CENTS AN HOUR.
WHAT HAPPENED TO KNOW, IF YOU TAKE AWAY REGULATION, WAGES
WILL GO UP.
THEYíRE IN PRISON, I GET IT.
IT IS A DIFFERENT SCENARIO BUT NO,
THEY DROVE THEM DOWN TO EIGHT CENTS, NOT $8,
EIGHT CENTS AN HOUR TO A DOLLAR A DAY.
THAT IS WHAT THEY DROVE THEM DOWN TO BECAUSE IF THEY CAN
GET AWAY WITH IT, THEY WILL DRIVE YOUR WAGES TO ROCK-BOTTOM.
UNTIL WE'RE ALL INDENTURED SERVANTS.
WE CAN LOOK AT CASE STUDIES THAT ARE HAPPENING RIGHT
NOW AS WE SPEAK.
WHAT ABOUT COUNTRIES THAT DON'T HAVE THE REGULATIONS AND
THE WORKERS PROTECTIONS THAT WE HAVE HERE IN THE US?
SOME MANUFACTURING JOBS AND OTHER COUNTRIES WHETHER IT BE
INDIA OR CHINA, ARE THEY PAYING THEIR EMPLOYEES A LIVABLE WAGE?
ARE THE EMPLOYEES HAPPY?
I DON'T KNOW THAT MAYBE THEY ARE SUPER HAPPY.
MAYBE ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO JUMPED OFF THE BUILDINGS AT
FOX CON BECAUSE THEY WERE SO ELATED WITH HOW MUCH THEY
ARE GETTING PAID THAT THEY COULD NOT CONTAIN THEMSELVES AND
THEY JUMPED OFF THE BUILDING.
COME ON, IT IS SO INCREDIBLY SHORTSIGHTED AND IT IS
BEYOND FRUSTRATING TO CONTINUOUSLY EXPLAIN THIS
OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
PEOPLE DON'T GET IT.
AGAIN, VOTE AGAINST YOUR BEST INTEREST.
HAVE AT IT.
ONE LAST THING, YOU ACTUALLY THINK OSCAR AND HUMBERTA CAMPOS
ARE THE ONES THAT SET THE RULES IN AMERICA AND SET THE RULES
AGAINST YOU?
THAT THEY ARE SO POWERFUL THAT THAT IS WHY YOU EITHER LOST
YOUR JOB OR YOU'VE BEEN DOWNSIZED TO A JOB THAT
BARELY PAYS YOU LIVING WAGES?
OR COULD IT BE THE
DONORS WHO BOUGHT OFF THE POLITICIANS?
AND THAT THE CAMPOS'S ARE IN THE SAME SITUATION YOU ARE,
STRUGGLING TO MAKE ENDS MEET AND PROVIDE FOR THEIR FAMILY.
YOUR CALL
TO MAKE, I GUESS.
