The Perfect Argument To Shut Down ‘Illegals Are Stealing Our Jobs’ Rhetoric

[cascadiance]

64. Smug look of being MISLEAD, when it is the employers that don't want to pay a LIVING WAGE!!!

A LIVING WAGE is what American workers want, and is why there is so much demand now for higher minimum wage, while the owner class wants to keep guest worker programs and non-prosecution of illegal employment of undocumented workers happening so that they continue to be able to hire people at non-living wages for Americans and reward themselves with more profits, while laughing at women like this who in effect distract from the real issues at stake for American (AND foreign workers who are being exploited too).

A better way of helping many workers in Mexico and other places south of the border is to END our corn subsidies, that allows ag companies to *dump* our corn products at artificially low prices, which puts South American farmers out of business, so that they have to come up here to be able to work to provide money to their families to live. If American taxpayers didn't give these ag companies WELFARE to basically build this equation, then many of these immigrant workers would be happier with their own farms and families at home, even if their prices are higher, and we'd have less of a bottom for the 1%ers here to race to with their "free trade" agreements.
