JD Vance: "There is a massive corporate lobby for cheap labor in The United States Of America, and that is, I think, the main thing that's going on. Think about this. If you've got millions of illegal aliens okay. Let me tell you a story. In 2017, 2018, when I was in the private sector, I was at a a business conference dinner, and I was seated next to the CEO of one of the largest hotel chains in America. This is, I think, probably 2018. And the guy is going on and on about how much he hates Donald Trump. And I'm like, oh, that's interesting."
"Like, why do you hate Donald Trump so much? Because, again, I was I was sort of a Trump skeptic in 2015. And at this point, I was kinda, you know, starting to really get on the Trump train. And he said, well, the reason as I the reason I hate Donald Trump, he says, is because Donald Trump's border policies have cut down the number of illegal immigrants. And because I can't pay illegal immigrants under the table anymore, I have to pay American workers, and they want much higher wages."
"And I was like, this guy just admitted it. I was like, holy shit. This guy just admitted it. That's not great. It won't rhyme. But if that is a straight up monopoly man evil shit that this guy admitted to. And I was like, you know, my my wife, who's very apolitical, she was actually at the dinner with me, and she's like, come again?"
"You just said you don't want Americans to get decent wages? Like, that is the best argument for Donald Trump's immigration policy is that American workers are getting higher wages, and this is why this corporate CEO hates it. So whatever the industry is, you've got a lot of people who want cheap labor, and they don't wanna pay American workers higher wages. That's a big part of it."
