You don't get it. Years and years ago, migrant workers were here from Mexico. They came for the growing season and then returned. Now, with many years of open borders, millions I heard 13 million, have moved here and are taking any number of jobs, not just seasonal jobs. I see them taking all the landscaping, cleaning and building jobs now. We don't need foreign workers to do all those jobs. It's keeping wages depressed and putting a heavy load on roads, hospitals, and schools. Plus our culture has yet another people group with poor literacy and no desire to become like us, Americans.
The problem in America is too many people have a ideological connection to their occupations. I remember my father had a buddy who was a janitor in an industrial plant and had made well over $70,000 with overtime before the end of the year. There were people in that plant who made a lot less but at least they can say they are not a janitor.
Years ago on the Today Show a Mexican American politician or activist was being interviewed and he said something I will never forget ,he said he has lived next door to a man for over 25 years and has no idea what the man does for a living. He said he didn't consider his neighbor's occupation an important part of man's identity. That's why our job market is so exploitable by immigrant labor. If an immigrant can keep his cost of living 25% below what native born laborer's cost of living is then he is making the same money. That's how they do it.
When a manufacturing plant recently closed after operating for over fifteen years there was that percentage of men who bought canes and feigned disability rather than do something else to support themselves.
There are unlimited agricultural visas for migrant worker use.
Farmers and workers don't want to be bothered.
To be for the status quo and think that's just A-OK, because hey, don't we all want cheap lettuce?!... is to be for modern day slavery.
