Wrong. Americans do not want to work hard for low wages. All of the construction jobs I mentioned with the exception of brick laying don't pay well and never have paid well.

It is relatively easy to make 45-50k as a roofer as a high school dropout. That is on par with jobs that require a college degree.

Americans are working for the same wages. Companies don't want them and it is not about money.

You are completely missing my point. Employers can get quality work from immigrants cheaper than they can get quality work from Americans. There are exceptions.

No **** Capt Obvious. No one does.

If Mexicans/Central Americans wanted to work hard for low wages they would stay in their home countries.

This is the dumbest most anti free speech ******** that I am not sure why it has support from any corner of the populace.

Ted Cruz slams San Antonio plan declaring 'Chinese virus' to be hate speech: 'This is NUTS'

Spew all the hate you want. I also think hate crimes are a stupid creation of the legislature. If you kill someone because of their race, sexual orientation etc. i think it shows a level of depravity and will be reflected in the sentence and mercy shown by the court and later the parole board, but it shouldn't be a separate charge.

I'm a little surprised this stance is stemming from any city or township within the State of Texas.

Unfortunately the social justice warriors (liberals democrats) have turned almost every issue into a race issue or diversity issue. They think they can create a perfect society through rules and regulations. They can really f*** off as far as I'm concerned.

Most people call this Coronavirus or COVID-19. The fact that this virus originated in China and there is becoming overwhelming evidence that China knowingly let it get out to the world should not be lost on anyone - ever. So if someone wants to call it the China or Chinese virus then so freaking what.

I turned to the Price Is Right this morning and one of the Price Is Right girls is a dude. I was thinking w.t.h. He didn't even look comfortable and had those strong motions when referring to the prizes. The liberals got the two for one - guy and minority. What type of guy applies for this position? These liberals have penetrated almost every fabric of society and in many cases turning it devious.

Watch Family Feud now and almost every episode if not every episode is white family against a minority family. Is this fairness? Random drawings? Or are they separating the selection based on background? Are we looking for equality or is the goal for everyone to be equal?

Apparently not. Was in Abilene 1985/86 in college. Either Texas changed a lot, or I was naïve and didn't see all the idiots.

How many times did you go to Austin, home of the University of Texas?

It's a shame what's happening in the downtown Austin area. Used to love being there and had a cool vibe. Has gotten to where you can't walk a block without getting accosted by the growing homeless and frequently walk by areas of complete filth and squalor.

1st one - Do we re-name the Spanish Flu at some point. And when should we expect PETA to address the Swine Flu.
2nd one - You my think he's a dude. We all know he has squishy n**s.
3rd one - Is not also racism to willfully pit families of different races together on a regular basis. How is it diversity when it's always black/white?

Well worn trope of homeless/filthy city being used again.

I never made it to Austin in the 80's when I was in Abilene. From what I always heard about it though, if you were to replace the homeless with **eers running around accosting everyone, it probably hasn't changed much. Then again that was probably pretty much Dallas too.

I never had the chance to go to Austin. Or never took the chance. It was a four hour drive or so. Well, from Abilene anywhere notable in Texas was atleast 3 hours. Heck, for me that was a trip across GA. 3-4 hours out there barely made the next county. Atleast in 80's Austin I think was still a cool place. Wish I had visited a few towns besides Dallas/FW then. Made a road trip to Long Beach from Abilene, but never hit up Austin or San Antonio. go figure.

I think there's a difference in hate vs inflammatory speech. Bob at the coffee pot has much less of an impact than someone talking to millions. Know your audience and your responsibility to them. Act like an adult and there are really no reasons for this

I understand what you are saying. But in the context of this particular conversation, it is to the core about Donald Trump calling COVID-19 the Chinese Flu/Virus. Lets just cut to the chase.It is what it is.

Now, in your opinion, and in the context that he said it and considering the audience, do you think Donald Trump was engaging in hate speech? I know you are not his biggest fan, but just based on the evidence and being fair and just, was Trump wrong for what he said?
