The past 2 weeks really have just been the Democrats doubling down and saying the quiet part out loud.

Yes, it's a PCM meme, but still accurate as fuck.

The US is absolutely importing cheap labor. It's not even controversial that the H1-B program has been abused to do just that. The AFL-CIO admits immigrants are needed for labor, but they play more coy about the cheap part.
No no no.
Read this post equating immigration to slavery. A work visa is not slavery absolutely silly to defend this.
This post is not equating immigration and slavery. It is using this thing called a metaphor. It highlights an issue or argument using a comparison that shares relevant characteristics.
This is not a metaphor your English teacher is disappointed
Then what is it?
It's a comparison just a comparison it's really nothing else.
A specific necessity of a metaphor is that the two are not something you should be able to compare. Like time and apples. It isn't a metaphor if you compare something similar especially if you're trying to make the argument that the two things you're comparing are similar, that's specifically like the opposite of a metaphor
