When they start voting to pick your pocket, and turn America into Mexico?
BTW, have ANY of the paleolibertarians updated amidst the massive movement of Hispanics into the Republican Party?

Individual experiences must vary a lot here, I took painkillers and found it wasn't much better than being drunk.

The first isn't crashing and burning though.
And the latter is also possible, just look at the U.A.E.

You can focus on cutting the welfare spending instead of doing deportations, has the added benefit of not antagonizing business.

Trump support doesn't correlate much with the presence of illegal immigrants.

You do get that there's already people doing this down-the-tech-tree work, right? If you're this upset at the thought of some college kid or NEET picking fruit instead of playing video games, why do you want to import massive amounts of low functioning foreigners?
So Americans can go to college and get work in offices instead of picking onions in the sun. The foreigners benefit too, win-win.

the baltics, the ballans, the eastern Mediterranean, Eastern Europe, or Southeast Asia
America isn't Lwow 1918 though. In Florida and Texas the majority of Hispanics voted the same way as the majority of whites.

Can you even conceive of the idea that someone could think open borders would be good for Americans?

You can literally do anything, it’s not hard.
Yeah no s***, if we really set our minds to it, we can move down the tech tree and make our country's economy more similar to Bangladesh. Why anyone would want to is beyond me.

Even the guy who's too dumb to do anything but flip burgers prefers the air-conditioned environment of McDonalds to picking fruit in the sun. You don't make a country richer by moving it down the tech tree.

Quadrupling those wages might cost the typical family $300 in a year.
These people really want a blue wave next year.

I wanted to work as a fruitpicker but I saw all the Mexicans yapping in their mumbo-jumbo language and so I became a computer programmer instead. What a country.

Left: we need to move blacks up the ladder so more of them work as doctors, lawyers, politicians, and businessmen.
Right: we need to move whites down the ladder so more of them work day labor in the sun.

Untrue:
James and Elyse are high school students. James works after school at a fast food restaurant, and Elyse is seeking a part-time job at the same establishment (also after school). James' job takes precedence over his non-labor force activity of going to school, as does Elyse's search for work; therefore, James is counted as employed and Elyse is counted as unemployed.

One problem is the effect of exploitable labor goes in one way. Over the past 2 decades, Landscaping businesses that employed high school students and ex cons went out of business because they couldn't compete against undocumented workers.
Alternatively, high school students didn't want to do manual labor in the sun. That's a better hypothesis since it fits with the fact the unemployment rate is near-zero.

I'm an atheist.
By "trad" I mean the anti-abortion and religious stuff. It just plain fails to do what its adherents say it will do and then poisons said adherents' minds so that they don't care about results. Tell them that all that Catholicism and abortion banning in Poland gave it among the lowest fertility rates in the European Union and they just get mad at you because you're The Enemy. People get seduced by the promises it makes "believe this is moral, it will give you X" until they accept that it's moral so they don't listen to the people who tell them they're not getting X, they just enter a circlejerk of calling things "based," "degenerate," blah blah blah.

She's like transgender people. If you embrace her because she pisses off the pro-lifers and tradLARPers, you should ask yourself "would I want my daughter emulating her?" And even if you don't have any "moral" objections, know that she's not getting what she wants out of romantic life. People see her as sexually high-status because they're projecting male standards of sexual success.(having a bunch of opposite-sex groupies) But she's written a post about being 33-years-old and struggling to find a husband:
https://aella.substack.com/p/the-difficulty-in-dating-good-men
I found it funny how, despite her very unusual views and history, she wound up in the same place as many normie high-earning careergals, struggling to find a man who earns at least as much as she does:
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GpLudIca4AEQP_0?format=png&name=900x900
This isn't to say she's a bad person or should be mocked or bullied, just that you should take her opinions on sex and romance with a grain of salt.
Aesthetically, I can't summon much disgust for her. "Women are being seduced into prostitution by a female rationalist self-identified nerd and sex researcher" is not going to be a major social problem anytime soon. The "trad" stuff, that's the disease of the heart.

when you’re sexually attractive to a man you’re talking to, it hijacks some of his attention, and it’s not easy for him to wrest it back. ... the thing is he won’t really mind when he feels like you might be having sex, but if it ever becomes clear that that’s definitely not happening, then frequently the tool he will use to wrest some of his hijacked attention back from you, is feeling negative feelings about you. another aspect is that he might feel that he could never hijack attention in the same way, that he could look good but what you are doing to him is something he’s incapable of–so the easiest, most available go-to negative is resentment, which is very poisonous. people don’t like feeling manipulated unreciprocally without payoff.
This reads like a woman projecting the mild shame she feels at her own sexuality ("hijacked attention") onto men.
The unemployment rate is very low, those workers are going to come at the expense of jobs that are higher up the tech tree. I know the MAGA plan is to make the economy more like the agrarian-industrial economy of Bangladesh while maintaining American standards of wealth, because the government can just wave its hand and make these jobs high-paying. It will not work.
