Obviously, the big political news of the past couple of days has come from the Democratic side. But before last week’s Republican National Convention fades from view, let me focus instead on a development on the G.O.P. side that may, given everything else that has been happening, have flown under the radar: MAGA rhetoric on immigration, which was already ugly, has become even uglier.
Until now, most of the anti-immigration sloganeering coming from Donald Trump and his campaign has involved false claims that we’re experiencing a migrant crime wave.
Its is a false claim, because they just stopped reporting crime statistics to the FBI, along with other bullshit to muddy the waters.
Increasingly, however, Trump and his associates have started making the case that immigrants are stealing American jobs — specifically, the accusation that immigrants are inflicting terrible damage on the livelihoods of Black workers.
Of course, the idea that immigrants are taking jobs away from native-born Americans, including native-born Black Americans, isn’t new. It has, in particular, been an obsession for JD Vance, complete with misleading statistical analysis, so Trump’s choice of Vance as his running mate in itself signals a new focus on the supposed economic harm inflicted by immigrants.
Just an FYI, that “misleading statistical analysis” link doesn’t go anywhere…
So, too, did Trump’s acceptance speech on Thursday, which contained a number of assertions about the economics of immigration, among them, the notion that of jobs created under President Biden, “107 percent of those jobs are taken by illegal aliens” — a weirdly specific number considering that it’s clearly false, because native-born employment has risen by millions of jobs since Biden took office.
What seems relatively new, however, is the attempt to pit immigrants against Black Americans. True, Trump prefigured this line of attack during his June debate with Biden, when he declared that immigrants are “taking Black jobs,” leading some to mockingly question which jobs, exactly, count as “Black.”
What binders exactly, did Mittens bind up all those women he wanted to hire? The colored workers actually guard and work in the hidden figurative vault, Mitt Romney hides his binders full of women.
…putz.
But the volume on this claim has been turned way up.
At the Republican convention, former Trump adviser Peter Navarro, someone very likely to have a role in the next administration if Trump wins, spoke of “a whole army of illiterate illegal aliens stealing the jobs of Black, brown and blue-collar Americans.”
In an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek published last week, Trump went even bigger, declaring that “The Black people are going to be decimated by the millions of people that are coming into the country.” He continued, “Their wages have gone way down. Their jobs are being taken by the migrants coming in illegally into the country.” He went on to say, “The Black population in this country is going to die because of what’s happened, what’s going to happen to their jobs — their jobs, their housing, everything.”
Trump’s diatribe forced Bloomberg to add this, parenthetically, as a fact check: “According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the majority of employment gains since 2018 have been for naturalized U.S. citizens and legal residents — not migrants.”
There was a time when a rant like this would have signaled that a politician lacked the emotional stability and intellectual capacity to hold the highest office in the land. Alas.
Well they are certainly not taking jobs from white college professors scribbling bullshit for an overrated regional tabloid that for whatever reason the rest of the country is stuck with pretending is some sort of information authority. If there are a finite number of jobs, it stands to reason they will be competing with native born workers with the same economic status. Yes in this country, that means colored people.
Also, it’s hard to overstate the cynicism here. Trump has a history of associating with white supremacists,
Oh, fuck off.
not to mention his longstanding obsession with crime in urban, often predominantly Black precincts. Still, he clearly perceives an opportunity to peel away some Black voters by playing them off against immigrants.
But again, even if we ignore the cynicism, this new line of attack on immigration is just wrong on the facts.
If immigrants are taking away all the “Black jobs,” you can’t see it in the data, which shows Black unemployment at historic lows. If Black wages have, as Trump claims, gone way down, someone should tell the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which says that median Black earnings, adjusted for inflation, are significantly higher than they were toward the end of Trump’s term. (You should ignore the spurious bump during the pandemic, which reflected composition effects rather than genuine wage gains.)
Oh sure, NOW you want us to account for the pandemic as a confounding variable.
There must be some reason black voters appear to be supporting Trump, it was only reported by the extreme right wing media outlets like: mainstream TV news, towelhead news, and the motherfucking NY Times. There couldn’t be any reason whatsoever colored people not are supporting team cunt at near unanimous levels anymore. If only 25% fall off the plantation, team cunt loses nearly everywhere.
If propaganda wasn’t needed, they wouldn’t be saying it.
You might ask why, given we have indeed seen a surge in immigration, that we aren’t seeing signs of an adverse, let alone cataclysmic, impact on Black wages or employment. After all, many recent immigrants, especially undocumented immigrants, lack college degrees and maybe even high school education. So aren’t they competing with native-born Americans who also lack college or high school degrees?
The answer, which we’ve known since the 1990s, is that immigrant workers bring a different set of skills to the table than native-born workers, even when those workers have similar levels of formal education. And yes, I mean skills: If you think of workers without a college degree as “unskilled,” try fixing your own plumbing or doing your own carpentry. It shouldn’t need to be said, but a lot of blue-collar work is highly skilled and highly specialized. As a result, immigrants tend to take a very different mix of jobs than native-born workers do — which means that there’s much less head-to-head competition between immigrant and native-born workers than you might think, or what Trump and Vance want you to think.
Jesus tap dancing Christ. Is he suggesting colored people have no skills to offer in this economy so importing immigrant workers isn’t an issue because they aren’t competing with unskilled colored people? THATS NOT RACIST AT ALL.
The bottom line is that the attempt to portray immigration as an apocalyptic threat to Black Americans is refuted by the facts. Will it nonetheless work politically? I have no idea.
Krugman is a fucking racist cunt.

Akshually, Joe has been periodically re-grown in an axolotl tank. Unfortunately his telomerase is no longer viable after so many re-growths so they had to shut it down.
Trump is crazy to talk about immigrants and jobs, but “mainstream economists” are perfectly justified in saying any reduction in immigration will cause chaos in the job market and a hugely inflationary a spike in labor costs.
Yes this is a roundabout way of saying he took the day to jack off.
Hmm, I would’ve figured that refilling the reservoir meant he was locked in bondage of some type.

Well, the ones who are slurping up benefits at taxpayer expense sure as shit aren’t competing for jobs. What’s the economic impact of that, Krugnuts?
Why, the multiplier effect of government benefits means the more illegals are on welfare, the better of we all are! Thanks for asking.
Also, illegals are keeping inflation down by totally not flooding the un- and semi-skilled job market and depressing wages, nope, not at all. Which is why if we deport all of them, inflation will go up because there will be shortage of un- and semi-skilled workers, forcing wages up.
I have no idea.

Left unsaid is the the second part: at the wages currently being offered due to the availability of a large pool of illegal immigrants.

A shit ton.
I now work with grants occasionally, some of them have 5x the number of applicants vs. Allocations… Someone writes and reads all those grants, then finally award them, administer, reporting…
I think it’s easily 25% loss versus just appropriating things directly to projects.

The political establishment’s failure to fix decades of crisis in Argentina explains the tide of popular rage that vaulted the irascible Javier Milei, a self-declared “anarcho-capitalist,” to the presidency.
But it also explains the emergence of a unique society that runs on grit, ingenuity and opportunism — perhaps now more than ever as Argentina undergoes its worst economic crisis since its catastrophic foreign-debt default of 2001.
“It’s the famous resilience of Argentines,” said Gustavo González, a sociologist at University of Buenos Aires. “It’s the result of more than three generations that have grappled with adverse circumstances, great uncertainty and abrupt changes.”
The libertarian leader warned that things would get worse before they got better.
To reverse the decades of reckless spending that brought Argentina infamy for defaulting on its debts, Milei scrapped hundreds of price controls. He slashed subsidies for electricity, fuel and transportation, causing prices to skyrocket in a country that already had one of the world’s highest inflation rates.
Rome wasn’t burned in a day.
This is a nice little example of arguing in bad faith. He looks at this issue through a very narrow lens and picks apart the details. Are Trump’s numbers exactly accurate? Probably not. But this is not in dispute:
– Millions of immigrants have poured over the border in the last 3 years.
– Some of them are criminals, and have formed very successful crime rings. Some notable individuals have raped and murdered.
– Governments in blue cities are giving these immigrants money, housing, and other resources that are being diverted from citizens.
– Those millions are living somewhere and some of them are working. So to some degree, they are competing for housing and jobs.
Trump isn’t creating a problem, he’s identifying one.

Economists confounded
There has been an unexpected jump in the number of people who mainly use notes and coins for their daily spending, despite the UK moving closer to becoming a cashless society, a report has found.
The volume of contactless and mobile payments increased last year, while the number of cash payments resumed a downward trajectory after enjoying a brief comeback in 2022, the banking body UK Finance noted in its annual report on the UK payments market.
However, there was a 66% increase in the number of people who prefer to use cash for their everyday spending.
The estimated number of “mainly use cash” people has fallen every year for several years and stood at 900,000 in 2022, but it leapt to 1.5 million last year – the highest figure since before the coronavirus pandemic.
UK Finance said the increase may reflect those people who have gone back to using cash to help manage their finances during the cost of living crisis.
Last year there was a rise in interest in a budgeting trend called “cash stuffing” – or the cash envelope system – made popular on social media. This involves dividing cash into envelopes labelled into different categories such as groceries, bills, a rainy day and Christmas shopping. The idea is that it helps cash-strapped households keep track of their spending and saving.
A UK Finance spokesperson said it would monitor the situation regarding people who mainly used cash to see if this was the start of a trend or merely a “statistical blip”.
Why would they do that? How are we going to

As for the bit about crime, let’s assume the immigrants are no more or less inclined to commit crimes as anyone else. But who is coming over? It’s mostly young men, which is the demographic that is most likely to commit crime. Secondly, when they are in a new place unbound by the constraints of family and neighbors keeping an eye on them, combined with an ability to easily disappear and go someplace else in relative anonymity, some will be more likely to commit crimes. And C, if you buy the argument that people commit crime because they are poor, what do you think will happen when you import a bunch of poor people?
Actually visiting the Third World dispels the idea that geography and colonialism make those places Third World. The people and society do.
Importing large numbers of unassimilated third worlders just makes the cities where they settle into the third world. See large swaths of New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris, and Stockholm for reference.
American cities did actually assimilate immigrants at one time. European cities (and cultures in general) not so much.
European cities (and cultures in general) not so much.
Europe occasionally can.
Germany imported lots of Turks in the 60s as guest workers. Those guest workers assimilated and gave Germany the gift of Doner Kebab.
But those were different times.
The Turks were quite a problem in Germany, where they were supposed to be temporary labor like the old American Bracero program. Since being German has never been anything like being American, it just isn’t that simple.
When I lived in Germany in the 80s, the Turks were as fully integrated as similar counterparts in the US. But they had had decades of preparation from Atatürk’s promotion of secularism. More recent arrivals are much less interested in that.
And yes, Europe in general is less concerned with assimilation than the US ever was. So you’ve got both factors working together to create “no-go areas”, child porn rings, and such.
They’ve also already demonstrated a willingness to commit crimes by migrating illegally and dealing with people smugglers.

So, my next door neighbors have been carted off and their house is on the market. I looked into it to see if my mother might be interested, and I discovered that it’s somehow 75% the price of mine, even though it’s smaller and 35 years older with 1/4 the lot size. But ddly enough the taxes are half. I guess this asking price reflects new market conditions whereas the tax assessment was closer to pre-silliness assessments.
my next door neighbors have been carted off – by whom?
Not certain exactly. Hopefully a privately paid assisted care facility. The husband was brain-damaged in an accident and the wife recently lost her ability to form memories.
I guess this asking price reflects new market conditions whereas the tax assessment was closer to pre-silliness assessments.
It’s possible. It depends on how your area does assessments.
Here in NH we get reassessed every five years. There’s no adjustment to assessment between those times unless the owner successfully appeals the assessment. Yes, that means if the house sells in between the assessment does not change unless the owner appeals the assessment.
There’s a big stink going on now locally because the county sent out new tax assessments after the boom in home prices. I’m fully expecting to be unhappy come next property tax bill.

Realistically, your assessment shouldn’t drastically change what you owe, since they start from how much money they need and then calculate rates.
At least that’s how it used to work in NY.
In Florida your main home can never go up more than 3%/year, and the freeze in assessment is partially portable if you move. And yes, this means new comers pay way way more than established residents.
I see homes with crazy assessments all the time, like, 1/3 of the real value, and consequently lower taxes.

Rates are calculated in NH too.
Unless the assessment drastically changes relative to every one else’s, yeah, you won’t see a big change in taxes during a reassessment regardless of when the reassessment is.
