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.

I’ve always wondered why conservatives harbor so much hate for immigrants and not the business owners taking advantage of vulnerable populations
That second part won’t go away, they’ll just make a different vulnerable group
Because in a free market, “taking advantage of” someone else always involves them taking advantage of you too. It’s an exchange economy.
In a free market, being used means being paid.
If you really want to understand how conservatives think, you need to remember that we see our economy as a system of consensual trades between adults.
Being exploited is always paired with exploiting the one exploiting you. That’s why we talk in terms of “jobs”. Trade: a two-way thing.
We want them gone too, it's just harder to go after companies.
So going after the people being exploiters instead is constructive?
You can do both. But as I said, it's harder to go after them.
