    This is for “highly skilled”, but any kind of legal immigration is going to look like this. This is helping drive rates as there aren’t enough warm bodies to fill seats. Driver pay is also skyrocketing.

    I am with you on this. I am against all kinds of immigration, since I am already here.:D [satire intended]

    Especially drivers on work visas. Let's cut the naive talk about Indians being the only rightful citizens. They also must have come here from somewhere...heck perhaps Siberia through frozen Bosfor straits. Columbus was just late to the party, or rather Amerigo Vespucci:D

    I'm for as high drivers' wages as possible too, they will push the rates up without cheap overseas labor. That's makes me more competitive too vs those who have to hire.

    That arrest and release with no bail or consequence looks like it’s working great!

    These scum bags need hit with federal charges.

    I know some things I say might not always be popular but I try and stick to facts and reality, not feelings. I’m fine and even great with common sense legal immigration. What I’m not fine with is illegal, temp visa, overstay visa with no consequence, lottery immigration, chain migration, on and on while exporting jobs to oversea. It’s not sustainable and they’ll keep doing it until we’re just another “s” hole country like everybody else.

    Immigrants who are prideful Americans I love and cherish same as any other American who has been here since the 1700’s.

    Anyway, I won’t go on and on. Just adding to the story of reasons for conditions we see.

    I was reading an article this morning chastising anybody who doubts climate change is causing the fires, and saying that reports of the fires being set by arsonists is unsubstantiated fake news. IT'S GLOBAL WARMING SHEEPLE......SUBMIT TO OUR WILL...…...

    Good for your ancestors that George Washington did not share your immigration resentments in 1700.

    1. The global warming is a fact. The dispute is about the level of human role in it - that's where the politicians and mind control swindlers have tried to find a leverage. Therefore, we all have to be wary about the Covid-19 of becoming such a leverage too.
    2. These fires, as I understand the level of wild fire risk, could have been set off at some point by as little as a piece of glass lying somewhere. Of course, the arsonists should be hanged by neck until they die for intentionally setting them up but even without their help the fires could have started. Point being - it is not completely an unwarranted claim that global warming plays a role in it. But we - people - are not responsible for global warming at the extent they want us to believe.
