    See, for me this line of thinking is troublesome. It implies we have to or should rely on the exploitation of desperate people willing to work for pennies on the dollar because they have no legal recourse.

    Fuck ICE, this administration, and everything else that’s going on but let’s not normalize the exploitation of desperate people to keep the machine churning.

      So advocate for better wages for them. I bet even at $20/hr you would struggle to get an American to do the job.

      Getting rid of them only creates problems.

      Torturing them on the way out, is just evil.

      Oh I’m not implying that’s a good thing at all… Thats what the MAGAts seem to believe, they just never get to that last word there, never get to the realization point.

      illegal immigrants have recourse, they could just walk away.

      The legal farm labor immigration scheme is where the slave labor is.
