In his new book, “Decades of Decadence: How Our Spoiled The wealthy Blew America’s Gift of Liberty, Privacy, and Prosperity,” Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) fearlessly reveals the terrible reality behind the prioritising of cheap labor imports in the United States. Rubio illustrates how a fundamental change towards a worldwide economy has led to the corruption and abuse of the immigration system, with far-reaching ramifications for American workers.
While some firms were readily shipped abroad, Wall Street skillfully established a system to import cheap labor, largely from illegal immigrants, to feed their insatiable desire for low pay. This method evolved gradually and silently, protected from public scrutiny. Though a few politicians only acknowledged the issue by emphasizing jobs “Americans wouldn’t do,” the true victims were the people who worked who witnessed their wages decline benefits dwindle, and hours reduced until they could be replaced by individuals willing to accept little in return for extended labor.
The crux of the situation lies in Wall Street’s determination to avoid employing Americans entirely. For them, it is more lucrative to exploit cheap labor and appease the public with government-provided financial assistance programs. This false story hides the truth that employing Americans would demand decent salaries and better working conditions, which businesses deem damaging to their profit line.
The ramifications of this troubling tendency are manifold. American employees confront a diminishing employment market, where chances are stolen away by those ready to accept inadequate wages. The entire fabric of the American ideal is being destroyed, as hard labour fails to deliver equitable rewards. Economic disparity grows, producing a divided society where only a fortunate few survive.
Senator Rubio’s book serves as a rallying call for Americans to tackle this persistent problem and demand change. It exposes the essential need to restore dignity to the American worker by safeguarding employment, assuring fair salaries, and combatting the abuse of cheap labor.
