i mean... trump sucks...
but if an entire industry relies on exploiting undocumented workers, then i'm not sure trump is the only bad guy here
There’s bad guys all around but this is not “both sides the same”. Adding a new evil does nothing to resolve the situation. How about finding a way that respects human rights and doesn’t disrupt the economy? How about looking at actual facts on undocumented immigrants and act on the the most common or most egregious rather than the most brown skin? How about supporting those who are avoiding persecution in their home country?
Instead of ICE raids directed against sanctuary cities, very likely to be racist, with the intent of political revenge and instilling fear, how about:
This would be more comprehensive, respect human rights, avoid racism, and improve compliance with the laws. It focuses on results rather than partisanship or instilling fear
It's almost as if we're seeing the end result of decades of bad immigration policy.
Maybe if everyone knows a law sucks, and no one obeys the law because it sucks, and a huge chunk of our ability to not have famine is based on not obeying that law... maybe, just maybe that law should change to one that people can obey without anybody starving to death.

That would be less profitable.
He could offer these immigrants some sort of work for citizenship plan or start treating them like fellow humans.
I mean, I agree megacorps making bank off the back of undocumented workers is horrible, but one way to solve that is to grant them citizenship, let them vote and form unions.
This ^
The answer is open boarders and the elimination of our foreign intervention. All the reasons for hard boarders are antiquated and are used to divide the working class. You have more in common with any working class person from anywhere than any wealthy individual.
Wouldn't have to be citizenship either, just anything acknowledging them as humans whom are there to work. But Trump doesn't dö smart
That's probably the only good thing about Trump. Trump is so brazen with fucking around that the rest of America gets to experience the finding out part. Trump is fucking with illegal immigration and America is about to find out how much they depend on illegal immigrants (because I doubt it's only this one industry).
Rip the following things that often have undocumented immigrants working (from my anecdotal experience)
Oh cool, it had been a couple years since housing prices went vertical...
The industry only relies on cheap labour because farmers aren't getting their fair share of the upstream profits.
Capitalism
Absolutely.
Framing this whole thing as if we would be rallying behind the mega corps who run on (what should be completely illegal) exploitation is a bit weird.
At the same time, let those who immigrated here enjoy the benefits of being a human in America. Our President of the United States of America needs to stop demonizing brown people. Help them instead.
At the end of the day it's a lose lose situation. Those of us in the states pay more for our food (or just have shortages) and the ones working the field get kicked out.
Lose lose for you maybe... Fuck everyone else I guess.
Both are bad, but this is only making everything worse.
