Wait, who's blaming immigrants for the price of food? I know they've been blamed for housing shortages, but food prices? Never heard of that one.
From vancouver area: some of housing shortage could be immediatley fixed if foreign investors were forced to rent out their places...so many empty homes
If they would send all immigrants home, many farms wouldn't have people working the fields anymore. They'd have to hire local people who in general would demand a much higher wage for that kind of work and thus prices would go up sharply. That's what always happens when some politicians try this, and the decision is rolled back quickly.
It never fails to amaze me how a certain segment of the US always gripes about foreigners stealing the jobs.
As if any weird Karen that complaints would ever be caught dead picking crops in a field. There isn’t a single one of those whiners that would ever take the job (much less be able to do it) if offered regardless of the wage.
In many cases it's just a part of the population needing an answer that is easy, quick and usually wrong as a scapegoat and right wing politicians being very happy to give it to them, preferably wrapped up in emotionally charged messages.
Facts are irrelevant in all this. Keep 'm angry to stop any critical thinking.
Considering that Brexit got through and that's exactly what's happening in the UK (amongst countless other problems), don't bet against them trying something stupid like this (regardless of when or who's in power).
Florida is doing something similar and getting the same results. Who could've known, right? They're now also making a law blocking outside workers from protection against the heat. Just to be mean and increase the worker shortage I guess.
I mean, depending on how far back we're going that would really only leave the Indigenous.
Anyone got the source for this? I wouldn't mind printing some and putting them up around town.
I could make that myself worse case, just trying to save a few minutes.

Don't forget that grocery prices form a large part of most inflation calculation, so the 11.5% actively raises the 7% statistic.
Lol how would somome twist this into blaming poor people?
Stupidly effective propaganda
The right wing grift is a powerful tool
Don't worry, I'm thinking of the shareholders. Laughs manically
Yes, while I know how much western CEO get payed, they are still workers, guard dogs.
But naming CEOs without naming shareholders as the actual ruling class really just further serves maintaining the status quo.
We need these posted everywhere
I agree the message on the poster is correct.
However, when they grab my attention using my inability to afford food, I was expect the next line to be something to address it that helps me.
It being their political opinion, achieves a surprisingly big letdown for a view I agree with after only one line of text.
"No, but this time it's different!", they all say...
For the record, I mean the racists
