    Also, "illegal aliens" are much more easy to utilize as scabs and to drive wages down for all workers, while legalization and reduction of ICE presence would allow both documented and undocumented workers to have more ease in bargaining and pursuing collective bargaining.

      Most of these immigrants would gladly join unions if the state would just fucking legalize them. Most of them have done far more good for society than the spoiled failsons some of these reactionary congressmen have at home gaming.

        Immigrants love being illegal, they love to have limited access to social services, they love having basically zero bargaining power, getting threatened with ICE calls if they ever complain about stuff like wage theft.

        It's why neolibs like Friedman will outright say it's better when immigrants are illegal. Had to go recheck to make sure, and the first post is a medium article going, "no you xenophobes, you see listen to Milton Friedman's explanation, it's only good when it's illegal, because otherwise government intervention." Just saying the quiet part loud, you uhh love to see it.
