I don’t really understand how these people don’t see themselves and the immigrant as both part of the victims instead of part of the victimizers. Like… it’s not like the immigrant isn’t also getting screwed. He’s having to do exactly what you did, but cheaper. Would you consider that getting a good deal? Of course not. Both of you are getting fucked by your boss.

You should team up and do something about it.

But you see, the profit motive of business is sacred, that’s why it doesn’t occur to them to ask. It’s blasphemy. Of course they’ll minimise their wage bill. How else will they compete with other businesses? Etc. The idea that executives should be prosecuted for hiring undocumented workers below market value doesn’t occur to them - they think it’s easier to stop humans from crossing the border.
