The past 2 weeks really have just been the Democrats doubling down and saying the quiet part out loud.

Yes, it's a PCM meme, but still accurate as fuck.

We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

The US is absolutely importing cheap labor. It's not even controversial that the H1-B program has been abused to do just that. The AFL-CIO admits immigrants are needed for labor, but they play more coy about the cheap part.
No no no.
Read this post equating immigration to slavery. A work visa is not slavery absolutely silly to defend this.
This post is not equating immigration and slavery. It is using this thing called a metaphor. It highlights an issue or argument using a comparison that shares relevant characteristics.
This is not a metaphor your English teacher is disappointed
Then what is it?
It's a comparison just a comparison it's really nothing else.
A specific necessity of a metaphor is that the two are not something you should be able to compare. Like time and apples. It isn't a metaphor if you compare something similar especially if you're trying to make the argument that the two things you're comparing are similar, that's specifically like the opposite of a metaphor
