| On immigration, for instance, Vance said economic elites are
| stripping investment from middle America and sending that money to
| the coasts as a result of their desire for mass illegal and legal
| immigration to drive down U.S. wages.
|
| Vance said:
|
|| I was at a dinner in 2017, 2018 with a lot of corporate leaders.
|| I was sitting next to the CEO of one of the largest hotel chains in
|| the world. He said 'Look, President Trump's immigration policies are
|| forcing me to raise wages for my workers' and he was complaining
|| about this. And I said 'Okay, well explain this to me.' And he said
|| 'Look, in the past, if I wanted workers, I could just go across the
|| southern border and get a bunch of Central American foreigners to do
|| this job for poverty wages but now because I can't tap into those
|| people, I have to go to Americans and I have to give them higher
|| wages to do it.' And again, this guy was talking about this like it
|| was a bad thing but this is what the elites do with immigration is
|| they use it to undercut the wages of American workers. [Emphasis
|| added]
||
|| ...
||
|| The other problem is that it actually takes investment away from
|| our own communities. The whole way that our economy grows is by
|| investing long-term in the American worker and American
|| productivity. But if you can just get cheap people at poverty wages
|| anyway, you're not going to invest in your own communities, you're
|| not going to invest in your own country and that makes us poorer
|| over the long term. It's no surprise that maybe the biggest
|| competitor to the United States right now is China -- a very low
|| immigration society that has generated its economic gains by
|| investing in its own economy, not foreign workers. [Emphasis added]
|
| Vance also railed against President Joe Biden and the national
| security establishment for their botched withdrawal of American
| troops from Afghanistan after former President George W. Bush
| launched the war in October 2001.
Will Trump endorse candidates to the right of him on the issue
of dispossession of Ohioans?
