Everybody is replaceable.

Everybody. Just ask your Boss.
He thinks you are too expensive? Too unreliable? Not good enough? Too opinionated? Not fit for the Position?

He will blow your relationship to pieces and replace you for another Relationship with a different worker, for a number of reasons{excuses?}, during or after your trial Period.

Not the same? Think again.

While each and everyone of us is unique, we offer "standard" things that are not unique: care, affection, sex, time, money, intelligence, experience...

Those are not unique to a single person - look down the path of your past and you might agree with that.Many people have cared for you {but no longer do?}, and many more will.

While your relationship with them was unique, eventually the Relationship changed, and they were replaced.


There is a line between replaceable and irresponsibility especially when the topic of children come up. People are not toys.

Yes some jobs go through employees often others keep on to them for many years. Not all people think alike.

Then that relationship is not a healthy relationship. I would not feel comfortable being with some one who thought I was replacable.

Thats just my thoughts any way.

A family member of mine says that they hire immigrant workers because of their hard work, yes they get paid less and unfortunately don't know their work rights and are willing to do as they are told.

Most immigrant workers hired are those who stay here to work for a short period of time then go back to their country.




Many people choose to immigrate to another country for work and education purposes. They secure their visas accordingly and stay within the host country as long as the visa is not expired.
Host countries often advertise job openings for migrant workers because the country lacks a skilled workforce or just lacks cheap labor.
Schools have different reasons for advertising "study abroad programs" it can be because of money, or because of knowledge-sharing.

But nonetheless, these are legal procedures with proper documentation. Maybe with some "under the table" proceedings but usually advantageous to both parties.

What becomes problematic is when people go in illegally and/or with fake identities and/or overstay beyond the expiry of their visa. They are persona-non-grata. They hide out and get jobs that give them no security nor legal liability, hence they can either commit crimes in these "jobs", or they can be trafficked to do "jobs" by virtue of their non-status. They can also siphon resources that are intended for the welfare and benefit of citizens and legal migrants.
Bad experiences with any particular nationality or group such as the above, also makes the process more difficult for those wishing to immigrate legitimately and gainfully.

This is not the same as immigrants with refugee status and those seeking asylum as their stay in the host country is also processed and documented. But therein is where the confusion and overlap about this immigration issue also lies.



There are people who are born and raised in their own country that work under the table all of the time and have been on the welfare system for years.

People take advantage of the system all of the time.It is frustrating.

we have something like that here too

we have a card for which only FOOD may be purchased

we also have checks that can be cashed for any purpose that one must go through a work program to receive,,,it includes a monitored 20-25 hour dedication to work related activities,, either through documented and verfied work searches or through actual work/training at a government or not for profit office which is supposed to count as preparing for full time PAID work

Its how I received the whopping 300 check monthly when I was on assistance


the check comes from the government as part of the 'welfare' program so that these government offices don't have to pay a wage or benefit.




I am sorry to hear that it must have been very difficult. That really is not much to live off of.

Welfare is the organized public or private social services for the assistance of disadvantaged groups. Aid could include general Welfare payments, health care through Medicaid, food stamps, special payments for pregnant women and young mothers, and federal and state housing benefits. The Welfare system in the United States began in the 1930s, during the Great Depression. Opponents of Welfare argue that it affects work incentives.

I think we are talking of different kinds immigrants. Illegal Immigrants and Legal immigrants. The OP was being PC by calling them immigrants. Most Legal immigrants do as you said, go home and don't qualify for assistance.



Many legal immigrants face the same problem as natural born citizens in getting assistance. For many it is like pulling teeth. My brother in law, who is dying of ALS, is fighting to get VA benefits as it is


I am sorry to hear that :(

Where I am, most of those are here illegally. That is why employers can pay less.


Some come over on work visas mostly they are employed by green house companies and farmers


Some do but here most don't. Most are illegals


I would have to take your word on that :)

Refugees who are trying to use religion to stay into a country that is safer for them and or their families is in a way understandable. I mean really if you and or your family wee caught in a war situation wouldn't you think of ways to leave that country?

I understand that terrorist is all ways a worry and that is understandable. Perhaps there could be a system in place were refugees could be monitored while residing in their hosts country?


We could have internment camps.whoa


Wow is Hitler your hero ?

FDR dood it!

Anything that brings more Muslim-raised and Christian-raised people into better community and fellowship seems like a good thing to me. Maybe their shared humanity can help them overcome the 'hatred towards others' which is taught by both religions.
