re: #115 HappyWarrior

We’re getting into Bernie Sanders territory of “Those immigrants are stealing our jobs” territory. And frankly I really don’t want to go there because all of our ancestors were once accused of stealing someone else’s job at one point. You pride yourself as a land of opportunity and damn straight people are going to want to come here and you know what, I welcome every last one of them.

They are driving down wages, but that is also because they are easily exploited and not about to turn to any authorities for redress.

What would agriculture, food service, domestic services, gardening and construction look like in this country without undocumenteds doing the grunt work for sub-minimum wages without benefits?
