Because its undercutting American wages and benefits. Because it creates an underclass of people. Because it hurts the American worker. You know why wages are so low and unions cant do jack shit?
Right, because so many Americans want to pick corn. We’re just chompin’ at the bit to do literally back-breaking, heart-bursting, knee-destroying work like picking strawberries and zucchini.
C’mon. Who are you trying to kid?
Because we let these companies import cheap labor
…this is the whole history of American free enterprise. Now you want to stop the importation of cheap labor? Maybe we should’ve thought about that before we made it a part of the Constitution and other bedrock institutions. Economically, these farms would be fools to hire more expensive labor when they can get away with paying significantly less under the table.
Diversity is not strength, its robbery.
Where diversity is not strength, sameness compounds.

You are right. We should grant full citizenship to everyone here, and do it right now. No more hyper exploitation of these workers by the corporate class. No more fear of joining a union because you could be reported to ICE. No more using undocumented labor to pull down the living standards of everyone. Full agree. Didn’t expect to see this on the conservative lemmy. Right on.

You can solve it with visa or punishing the company.
Citizenship has value and shouldnt be handed out like candy

They should be deported so as to incentivize them not to come. Or at the very least, a minimally funded prison.
