I've always been of the opnion that revenue from illegal workers is ill gotten gains and should be seized like drug dealers assets. You start freezing companies bank accounts and seize their money they'll start to think twice.
Because its undercutting American wages and benefits. Because it creates an underclass of people. Because it hurts the American worker. You know why wages are so low and unions cant do jack shit?
Because we let these companies import cheap labor, who dont speak the language, with zero consequences. And they face zero difficulties because we just let these illegals walk right in.
Have you ever tried to form a union with people who dont speak the same language? Who are grateful just to be here, and have zero legal recourse? Its near impossible.
Diversity is not strength, its robbery.
They should be deported so as to incentivize them not to come. Or at the very least, a minimally funded prison.
You know machines pick corn right?
The argument that no one wants to pick strawberries or zucchini and that's why illegal labor is needed is ignoring one thing. No one wants to pick strawberries or zucchini for the wages offered.
Yes no company wants to pay more for wages. Shrinking the labor pool will naturally force companies to pay more. There are more than enough legal migrant workers and Americans to do the job if the wages are right.
Not at the wages offered.
If good wages were offered, more Americans would do those jobs.
We want better rights and wages for our workers, for a long time. We've been doing it since April 12th, 1861 baybee!
So whats wrong with sameness?
Good point. Theres no problem with either.
