(7,422 posts)Many workers in the flooring industry are 3rd generation I do not know at this point in time how many undocumented workers are in her district.
It is possible that there are many and that her attacks on migrant labor are hypocritical. She many be getting re-elected based upon her reassuring the CEOs they will be protected by her and Trump
The products from these factories are exported worldwide.

(4 posts)Much of the economic success in Marjorie Taylor Greenes district is rooted in migrant labor, especially in industries like flooring where many workers are now third-generation laborers. While its unclear exactly how many undocumented workers are currently in the district, its likely that a significant number contribute to its workforce. This raises questions about the hypocrisy of her anti-immigrant stance. Her re-election may even be tied to quietly reassuring business leaders and CEOs that their access to this labor force will remain protected under her and Trumps leadership. Meanwhile, the products from these factories arent just local theyre shipped across the globe.
