GOP Youth Bigot Bake Sale
Another Bigot bake sale from a young republican club. Notice that their greed-envy game theory ploy doesn’t calculate what the true cost of food for everyone would be without migrant farm labor. Indeed, with nearby Salinas highly dependent on migrant labor, the young bigot boy and his friends are cutting off their nose to spite their face. They want punitive measures against those brown people because a handful among the migrants might get something that our young, priveleged, white republican youths living in one of the best countries in the world didn’t get. What a bunch of crap. If they got their way, food would rot in the fields every year and the area economy in Monterey would sink even further as more tomato and fruit farms closed or moved to Mexico and Central America.
Also notice that they base their stats on an amazingly self referential nativist blog instead of real government sources and data.
It is one of the great American conversations: Do immigrants contribute to the economy? Or do they take more than their fair share?
If immigrants are in the United States illegally, do they take even more?
To bring attention to what they say is the high cost of illegal immigration, the Otter College Republicans of CSUMB held a bake “sale” outside the campus library on Wednesday.
Hannah Plummer, chair of the student organization, arrived at 11 a.m. with a folding table and boxes of goodies. The club got together to bake festive chocolate muffins with vanilla frosting. A group supporter donated apple cinnamon snickerdoodles. Also on the menu was pumpkin spice cake.
Plummer and club members Matt Bolner, Christine Adams and Laura Benitez arranged the sweets on a folding table and taped green posters on the wall with duct tape. The posters said “Illegal immigration bake sale” and “Cost: $1. Contribution: citizens, legal immigrants: $2, illegal immigrants: free.”
They were not really selling the goodies — campus regulations don’t allow selling of food, Plummer said. They could give away the sweets — or ask for donations.
