Which is ironic IMO, because it’s the poor, non-white immigrants that build this country from the ground up. They take the jobs we don’t want, which keeps our prices low so our better educated citizens can take better jobs. Then after a generation or two, those poor immigrants’ descendants will be the ones taking the better jobs.
We need a constant stream of people willing to take the crappy jobs we don’t want, especially if we want to bring manufacturing back to this country. So I really don’t understand why conservatives want to simultaneously encourage more factories here and discourage low-cost labor.
Class and race are the issues. Rich, white Immigrants? Sure, that’s them. They’re fine with more. Poor or non-white? No way.
