Democrats see America is being an evil country. So they support migrant workers stealing our jobs and re-distributing the wages they receive to Mexico as a form of payback against the American people and economy.

Stealing jobs? Did you get turned away last time you applied to harvest tobacco leaves?

They work hard & must live very frugally to be able to send any money home at all. How many of us, who had better incomes, could have afforded to do so?

Sad but true. Many politicians openly advocate for things that are to the detriment of most US citizens. Yet they keep getting reelected.

I can only speak from my own small corner of the US, but I live in a rural, farming community. The town I live in has been changing quite a bit since about 2000 where farmland has been being sold and large homes are being built. This has changed the demographics of the town where you now have wealthier, white collar workers along with folks who have had families and land in town for generations.

In the late summer/early fall, when local crops are being harvested (mostly corn, tobacco and grain), none of the local kids want anything to do with that work. They would rather apply for work at the local grocery store or one of the fast food places. Driving around, I never see younger kids working those field. Granted this is just a small slice of the US, but I really doubt that there are that many jobs being "stolen" from US workers.
