To be frank, I think this is a good thing. Maybe working conditions will improve. Leftists always say with businesses that pay shit wages “If raising your employee pay to a living wage would kill your business, it didn’t deserve to exist in the first place.”
That should apply to everyone.
Keeping this system of exploitation (which is what hiring undocumented immigrants is) is an affront to humanity. It’s sad that this is even tolerated. I mean, DeSantis is a hack who hates freedom and should not become president, but this is one of his few moves I (mostly) agree with.
Being forced to pay competitive wages would be a major benefit to poor/uneducated workers and their families.
I always love the line, “Americans won’t do X kind of labor.”
Nope, not for $3/hr. Working in a field for $30/hr? I suspect there would be little difficulty hiring.
Definitely. Hell, maybe if food started to rot on the vine, we’d get a WWII-style sense of community back. Americans were (mostly) Americans first, political camps second when it was wartime. And saving our nation from (supposed) starvation I think would bring lots and lots together. Something this country damn well needs with how isolated we are as people.
