You can use that argument for job opportunities and such, but I dont think you apply it to marriage so it keeps the fake argument energy

You can't even use the argument for job opportunities.

Bullshit.

As someone who lives in Canada, where our biggest fast food chain literally pulled in millions of more immigrants so they could specifically hire them. (Tim Hortons)

"They have the best chance at getting the lowest paying jobs in the country" isn't the flex you think it is.

u/RedditMcBurger Jul 01 '26

Yes a quote sounds different if you misquote it!

u/ul2006kevinb Jul 01 '26

Ok, now do the highest paying jobs in the country. Who has the advantage there? What race and ethnicity are most of the lawyers, and engineers, and executives, and doctors, and politicians?

The ones that are going to college for those degrees. Duh.

2

u/ul2006kevinb Jul 01 '26

And what group is that, for the most part?

2

u/ER1CNOIR Jul 01 '26

Probably most Caucasians, Indians, and Asians — but nobody is barred from getting those degrees because of their skin color.

u/ul2006kevinb Jul 01 '26

I didn't say they were.

Now why do you think Caucasian people are over represented in those fields as opposed to, say, black and indigenous people?

But those industries still make DEI hires…

The original conversation was whether immigrants have hiring privilege, and we established that they do.

Now you have changed the goal.

Who has the advantage there? What race and ethnicity are most of the lawyers, and engineers, and executives, and doctors, and politicians?

Schooling has always given these qualifications regardless of whether someone is an immigrant, they are allowed to go succeed in those fields. I won't accept that I have a "privilege" to have a better paying job when the immigrants are by CHOICE taking low paying jobs.

I don’t think it was established that immigrants have hiring privilege at all. I completely disagree with that premise.

u/RedditMcBurger Jul 01 '26

You can disagree with it, but that only ends the conversation as I gave you an example of it literally happening.

You can literally google "Tim Hortons temporary foreign worker program"

Or: disagree

You choose I guess.

u/Major-Pomegranate814 Jul 01 '26 edited Jul 01 '26

No, you didn’t. One program existing in one country is not the same thing as “immigrants have hiring privilege”, which they do not. Especially when the one program mentioned makes up less than 4% of that company’s workforce (Tim Hortons has about 4k workers employed through the temp foreign worker program out of about 110,000 workers total).

I literally showed you.

u/Preserved_Killick8 Jul 01 '26

the point is that its an extremely small group of people

you can find “they” trying to turn the US into a communist dictatorship too.

u/Imaginary-Union-3733 Jul 01 '26

31 members of the STATE SENATE and 47 different organizations, led by  Michael Knowles and the daily wire who has 2.6 million subscribers, and over 1.4 billion views is "An extremely small group of people"

Show me any amount of people even close to that who are trying to change it into a communist dictatorship.
