Is the Florida Immigrant Construction Worker Story Running Around on Tik Tok Just Fake News?

A 20 second clip out of 50,400 seconds of daylight doesn't prove anything to me.
Yep...ain't seeing it around here.(panhandle) I like to check out the new construction and it's still rolling along.

It is one of the largest employers of illegals though. Florida depends on illegals. One of the states with the largest number of illegal employees.
Dang. Those 224 new townhouses they’ve just started on three blocks from me are going up fast. And it looks like ethnic type workers doing the labor. Must be my imagination.
The streets got paved last week and those crews were mixed - black, white, brown.
No workers in Miami? Hmm. NoFla is
Going like gangbusters. Maybe cause the rent is lower up here - and if they can get work here instead of six or seven hours south why not stop here?

Maybe... in Chicago or a big metro area where there’s no right to work laws and a state income tax.
And starting wages at a Taco Bell are $17-22 an hour here in Jacksonville. Since our unemployment rate is 2.6% that might even be too low.
LOL at the suckers in Florida. DeSaster doesn’t need you anymore. Any negative ramifications aren't his problem. He’s up here full time in Iowa applying for another job

While in NYC over Memorial, there was a fast food place IN TIMES SQUARE with a hiring sign saying $15.50 / hour. I imagine they didn't have folks lining up for that job.
I'll take a crack at it. Far right ideology, totalitarian/authoritarian, nationalistic, suppresses opposition, desire for single party state, us vs them mentality where there is usually a demonized group etc...
They’re energized and mobilized against so you’re going to lose...
Because they’re going to vote against him?
Thanks for confirming the fact that they’re gonna vote illegally..,
Only companies with more than 25 employees are even subject to tighter scrutiny over hiring illegals. If I need to explain the giant loophole there I can’t fix your lack of savvy. I know it doesn’t go with the party line y’all are spouting but tough 💩
Shakin it up here boss

I think that was one of his pet terms but I stopped listening to him years ago - way before his passing 😬
You remember Vice President Henry Wallace, don't you? He was VP to FDR from 1941-45.
He gives one of the better definitions I have seen:
A fascist is one whose lust for money or power is combined with such an intensity of intolerance toward those of other races, parties, classes, religions, cultures, regions or nations as to make him ruthless in his use of deceit or violence to attain his ends. The supreme god of a fascist, to which his ends are directed, may be money or power; may be a race or a class; may be a military, clique or an economic group; or may be a culture, religion, or a political party.
The perfect type of fascist throughout recent centuries has been the Prussian Junker, who developed such hatred for other races and such allegiance to a military clique as to make him willing at all times to engage in any degree of deceit and violence necessary to place his culture and race astride the world. In every big nation of the world are at least a few people who have the fascist temperament. Every Jew-baiter, every Catholic hater, is a fascist at heart. The hoodlums who have been desecrating churches, cathedrals and synagogues in some of our larger cities are ripe material for fascist leadership.
The obvious types of American fascists are dealt with on the air and in the press. These demagogues and stooges are fronts for others. Dangerous as these people may be, they are not so significant as thousands of other people who have never been mentioned. The really dangerous American fascists are not those who are hooked up directly or indirectly with the Axis. The FBI has its finger on those. The dangerous American fascist is the man who wants to do in the United States in an American way what Hitler did in Germany in a Prussian way. The American fascist would prefer not to use violence. His method is to poison the channels of public information. With a fascist the problem is never how best to present the truth to the public but how best to use the news to deceive the public into giving the fascist and his group more money or more power.
If we define an American fascist as one who in case of conflict puts money and power ahead of human beings, then there are undoubtedly several million fascists in the United States. There are probably several hundred thousand if we narrow the definition to include only those who in their search for money and power are ruthless and deceitful. Most American fascists are enthusiastically supporting the war effort. They are doing this even in those cases where they hope to have profitable connections with German chemical firms after the war ends. They are patriotic in time of war because it is to their interest to be so, but in time of peace they follow power and the dollar wherever they may lead.
American fascism will not be really dangerous until there is a purposeful coalition among the cartelists, the deliberate poisoners of public information, and those who stand for the K.K.K. type of demagoguery.
These were just his opening paragraphs on a piece he was requested to write. You can read his whole piece here: https://www.cbsd.org/cms/lib/PA0191...ry Wallace_The Danger of American Fascism.pdf
Thanks for confirming that you think of every immigrant as an illegal.

This talking point is brought to out by Sean Hannity. Ever think for yourself?
