The greatest trick the rich ever pulled is convincing the poor that the source of their pain is racial divide, instead of class.

All that aside. They hire undocumented at below minimum wage, they are taking advantage of them... it’s like the wife blaming the other woman for the affair, no you both got fucked... put the blame where it’s owed.

Edit: I’m aware this isn’t a perfect analogy... but it’s good enough for you all to understand without getting hung up on gender and whether or not the side person knew it was an affair... let’s try to focus the conversation on the big picture and the purpose of the analogy.

No one in the small town I grew up in lost their job to an immigrant.

Close to 60% of the adult population lost their jobs in the 90s when every single textile mill, basically the only reliable source of jobs, shut their doors within a week of each other and moved production overseas.

And if anyone really wanted to address the imaginary problem of immigrants taking American jobs, they'd go after the people who hire illegal immigrants.
