The hypocrisy of the anti-immigrant movement disgusts me. While immigrants (particularly Latino immigrants) bare the brunt of the hostility, and the brunt of the burden of being swept up by ICE and having their families scattered hither and yon, other immigrants fall into the maw as well. What is rarely discussed is that companies have a demand for these immigrants and especially for those who are “undocumented.” These people are among the most exploitable and exploited workers in the United States, matched only by poor women (immigrant and not),  “day labor”, and prisoners –  all of these may overlap. If a worker is hurt, they are thrown aside and likely left to languish. They may even be arrested by ICE and sent “home” – where ever that may be. The company however, just pulls another expendable person into their maw and go on without disruption. These companies do not want “American” workers. Not because they might demand more pay.=, or even better work conditions, but because they have rights, and they can not be threatened and controlled by threat of calling the Feds. Hence, there is an ongoing collusion between business that exploit what they define as an expendable workforce, and the Federal agencies, particularly ICE, which plays the role of corporate Bully Boy.
