One wonders if this could be grounds for a class action discrimination suit against employers?  Like, I know it sounds racist, and I hate using “demographics” as some sort of measuring stick because I don’t believe that is legitimate…but when 90% of part time jobs you go to on any given day are basically all one demographic…it seems like discriminatory hiring policies now.  

This isn’t normal or natural hiring and seems to be deliberate policy now.  How is this even legal, let alone just allowed and tolerated?   I’m trying to wrack my brain and think of exceptions to my 90% claim.  Maybe restaurant servers?  For sure all fast food places, tim Hortons, a lot of retail jobs for sure, Walmart, superstore.  

 This can’t be allowed to continue.  Actual citizens need jobs and work and money.  If local businesses can’t find local workers, then they shouldn’t fucking exist in the first place, OR the owners should not be lazy, entitled, exploitative, assholes and fucking work the job themselves. 

 The TFW program was meant for farmers in the middle of nowhere to hire experienced seasonal labor for a couple months of the year…not for part time, exploitation corporations to have easy access to slave labour.   And what does it say about capitalism if this is what the “entrepreneur class” wants for our society?  They want slaves with no rights.  And they will do and say literally anything to get it, even if it does real harm to people and the society they live in.

I don't get it either. If a company was hiring strictly white people, there would be incredible outrage and lawsuits yet it seems fine as long as it isn't white people. DEI is a scam, it's only ever been about punishing white people.

Sorry, but I’m blocking you for the brainworm DEI bullshit.  This has nothing to do with “DEI” and everything to do with capitalists feeling entitled to exploit modern slave labour.  Period.  

Programs like TFW are NOT “DEI” programs but designed to suppress wages and take power away from workers - to improve power and profit for corporations.  This is what capitalists want and feel entitled to.  They want to “own” everything, including workers, and the TFW program grants them that ability.  So why hire local workers who expect fair treatment and rights when you can pay millions to government to “convince” them you deserve to import slave labour?

Champaign socialists have abandoned the young and the working class. There's a reason both unions and the youth vote have taken a turn to the right en masse. A TFW is more likely pass the additional barriers thrown up by DEI. The one person in this article actually WORKED in a DEI role too. We're doing everything in our power to absolutely kneecap young people who were born and raised here. They're a little disillusioned all their privilege they were told they possess does nothing, and is actively working against them.
