But that’s a response to “they took our jorbs!”. It’s a reframing for immigrants targeted at the reactionaries. But it is the reality - immigrants, particularly undocumented or agricultural visa recipients, are the bedrock of our society

It’s terrible that they are in such unethical conditions. It’s terrible that they have a carve out for child labor for seasonal farm workers. The entire power dynamic is akin to indentured servitude at best

But what we have to do is give them legal status and protections first.

They are not working the worst jobs because that’s what we tell them they can be, they’re working the worst jobs because they’re extra exploitable
