Donald Trump says he will authorize a roundup of all 11 million undocumented immigrants in the country. A 1950s program with similar goals, called Operation Wetback, offers lessons.
I think it’s so ironic. The people who I associate strongly with conservatism, farmers, exploit immigrants the most. Why do they fight immigration? Just for someone to hate?
Hey also flight documentation check laws. Most employers have to validate your eligibility to work, farmers do not. They can also pay substantially less to illegal immigrants and depend on this. They do not want them to have a legal path because that will cost them money. The system only works for them if they are illegal.
If immigration is difficult, then most immigrants in the country working will be illegal. That makes them easier to exploit because they will fear deportation.

Yes. Scapegoating is easier than accepting reality in many cases
