I know what you are thinking given the post title, but this is a different question.

The case against colonialism is that the colonising country exploits and extracts valuable resources from the country being colonised rendering it something lesser than before.

My question is this: How is taking what is purported to be the best and brightest from these countries and bringing/letting them come here not precisely what I just described above?

How is the emptying these countries of the very people that might set their place of origin upright not by definition a continuation of the exploitative nature of colonialism?

You are correct.

How is it not also a form of slavery and exploitation, having them work for wages that Americans won't work for. I heard this dumb lib female "farmer" yesterday complaining that should could not find Americans to work her farm for what she is willing to pay. So she needs the illegals to exploit and abuse. LOL

Libs won't address any of that because the purpose of this is replacement and permanent one party rule.

Yes reverse colonialism. Latin countries....arab countries....Asians all lay claim to the riches of the US and slowly fight to take over the country.

---

That wasn't my point. My point is that the same people who shout at us about how colonialism exploited these counties by extracting its valuable resources are all in favor of the open borders system that does precisely that. Stealing their best and brightest is no different than stealing their uraniun or lithium.

Arguably worse.

I am sure her definition of a "Living wage" matches exactly what she is willing to pay them.

And, no, I don't think we are getting only their best and brightest. Far from it.

But we are decimating the pool of the smart and productive citizens.

Net result is a country with resources and no one capable of knowing what to do with them.

The valley has "Colonias". So yes it is.

Yes it's colonialism. People taking coming into our country, taking our resources and a lot of times sending it back to their home countries.

We aren't importing the best and brightest in any significant numbers. We are
Importing the poor

I want to be fly on the wall when all of those who encourage illegal immigration find themselves in a country just like say, Mexico. lol, they think it is difficult now.

It's called a brain drain.

This is the dirty secret behind the EU's "free HC"

They don't pay doctors or nurses anywhere near what their skill, training and the hours they demand of them are worth so virtually no native born go into medicine anymore and so they raid the third world for their doctors and nurses who are willing to endure the crap pay and long hours in exchange for a EU green card thus robbing these places of their best and brightest HC workers

No one is forcing them to come here.

Listened to this from a lib open border, anti border wall, in law of mine. Complaining about labor costs in his cattle operation. What he really means is labor exploitation of illegals or "exchange students" as we always referred to them.

America isn't get the best and brightest anymore. The Democrats orchestrated an invasion of our country of parasites by using our tax dollars to pay them to come here and using our tax dollars to pay them to stay here. What we are getting is the worst the world has to offer.

Your statement should tell you all you need to know. It was/is never about colonialism. It has always been about "Western Culture is abhorently bad". It's hard to convince people to tear down something of value so it has to be de-valued first.

We have way too many federal and state welfare, entitlement, support programs. It is not the responsibility of government to take care of people.

We have so many programs that people willingly choose not to work but they still have a new iPhone. We need to end ALL government programs that are disincentives to working. As there is honor and dignity in work, and contributing to a team, company, organization, society, etc.

I would also argue there needs to be a reduction / repeal of many labor laws (minimum wage, benefits, etc.) that distort the market. This is not the 1920s with child labor in factories and fields, if you let supply and demand take care of it good wages with good benefits will be paid by good companies and all will benefit, it also has the knock on affect of reducing illegal immigration.

I think we are importing numbers that are significant to their countries in that the best and brightest are a small subset of any population. And getting a crap ton of midwits and outright criminals with them.

In simpler terms, we are getting Democrat voters.

You guys are forgetting one rule imposed by the elites:

It's only colonialism if it's light-skinned people against dark-skinned people. Just like racism.

Go to bass pro shops in Katy and report back with your answer. Unrecognizable.

The Left doesn't want a better life for people, (they don't even know what a good life is)...they just want power.

They'll update the oppressor-oppressed narratives to suit the moment...as we circle the drain.

Ironically, "The Colony" isn't a colony but the city of Frisco is a new Colony of India.
