Why don't they just get out of their cars and walk into Walmart (or most any other business) and apply for a job? If they can fog a mirror held under their nose, they would likely be hired on the spot.

You just try to loudly fart in an elevator and point to the dude standing way at the far side of it. You're really not fooling anyone.

Worst still given the fact that Romney (who I don't care for) warned everyone that Russia was a threat... And for that, he was mocked and belittled by the left. Fast forward a decade later, and once again we are being told Russia is the biggest, baddest threat the USA and the world faces... But this time, it's the democrats saying this.

Yeah, you guys keep saying that. But show us the evidence of it.

An additional problem is the outsourcing of our jobs overseas. It's getting worse every day. All the companies have to do it to remain competitive. I would like to see some incentive to not outsource everything anymore. You know, like when a bunch of money came back into the US when Trump cut corporate taxes?

Nah, this is just another oft repeated talking point that Democrats use and no one questions them because they know if they repeat the lie often enough, people take it as fact. Example: Trump colluded with Russia or trickle down doesn't work. (It actually does work).

They've been getting paid not to work, & Joe says they have not run out of free money yet.

They're all over the country working in meat packing plants, agriculture, in the kitchen of a big city restaurant, cleaning hotel rooms, construction, lawn work....they're everywhere.

P.S. I'm sure they're in other types of jobs too but predominantly they're in labor roles.
Yes, I now agree with you. The big gov't parasites need more hosts, and our birth rate isn't high enough to fill the bill. They are importing hosts to suck off of.

So now we are saying they are taking the jobs of Americans?

Then why do we have so many jobs still available?
Because 12,000,000 American workers have left the workforce permanently. The labor force participation rate has sunk like a rock.

Next question please.

Mexico has jobs, and I bet they'll be producing more Fords here pretty soon, plus medical, dental and pharmacy is cheaper there.

Close the darn border and start deporting!
There is not a shortage of workers. There is a shortage of slaves. Businesses want a lot but don't want to pay a lot for it. People are just finally fed up with being worked like animals for peanuts and are ignoring the bottomfeeders who want to, for example, have someone with a college degree, 2 years experience, willing to work for $14.97 an hour and supply a personal vehicle for work purposes, driving upwards of 100 miles a day between worksites. One job I saw open for months this spring locally. I hear a lot of whining from business owners that they can't find people. And when asked what they pay, somewhere from the federal min. wage to maybe 14 or 15 an hour. Not even enough to live off of in this state. They in essence want the taxpayers to subsidize their profits by having their workers utilize social programs like food stamps or rent assistance to get by on their low wages. These bottomfeeders can either pay more or go out of business. Their choice. The government should not be allowing illegals in to keep their games going. Since 2020 many I know have either gone to better paying jobs or have gone self-employed. They're not living off the government, they've simply left behind bad employers.

Carrot and the stick. Provide incentives to stay, and punishment if they don't. Like a ban on importing their products if they shut down production here. We don't have to allow these businesses to import their junk after they offshore. We have every right to restrict imports for any purpose.

The jobs you keep hearing about are the ones that don't pay enough to afford the rent.
