That’s just the tool they use to stay in power, the mechanism they use to divide one class against another and get people to vote against their own economic self interest.
Bigotry and hatred is not the cause of economic exploitation, they are the result of it. The ownership class carries it in their blood, like syphilis.

This would stop the exploitation of these people, and documented Americans could have a chance of getting these jobs and be paid a decent wage.

This is NOT about jobs- it is about bigotry and hatred… it is about Trump clinging to the base of his support- the bigots that voted for him, and the morons that repeatedly insisted that his statements and actions as a candidate somehow weren’t racist.

Meanwhile, that little Confederate turd Sessions was on TV self-righteously proclaiming through a mouth full of grits how he was reinstating constitutionality and humanity onto the backs of those worthless freeloader Dreamers, many of which were being punished for a crime their parents committed, years ago. Remember, those criminals were INVITED here because they would work for less, and by the same people now so eager to throw them out. Of course, they won’t stop hiring them, they work cheap and they’ll put up with a lot of abuse. They have been cheated, and we native-borns will pay the price, we have contributed to the profits of the criminals that brought them here, and we have collaborated in the crimes perpetrated by them.

I suppose illegal immigrants are OK as long as they can be economically exploited. We brought the slaves here in chains, too, and now we sneer at them “go back where you belong, you don’t belong here in OUR country.” Now we’re telling the Mexicans the same thing, for the same reason. We don’t have slavery any more, its a bit more feudal now. But its the same game. These crackers are just too lazy to pick their own cotton, and too cheap to pay a decent wage to someone who will.

There will be some severe payback for this, you know? It will come back to haunt us, just like the slaves did. Unfortunately, its not the guilty that will be footing that bill and paying those dues. Karma is a bitch. She has an unfortunate tendency to inflict her justice, delayed, on the innocent.
