    Texas builders were happy to exploit people who they could underpay for their labor due to their precarious position. If we gave immigrants regardless of status workers rights like minimum wage and union protection the new complaint wouldn’t be about deportations, but about how wages are too high right now.

        Its almost like the immigration laws only exist to create a permanent underclass and they worked really well at doing exactly that.

        Imo, anyone in a trump concentration camp should just get citizenship.
