Umm, GOP: When Did You Become the Pro-Child-Labor Party? - Lemmy.World

As long as I’ve been alive, they’ve been saying how they want “free market” and “deregulation”. This isn’t really surprising to me. They want zero rules for corporations.
This is also the reason that immigrants became “illegal”. If they are legal you have to pay them a real wage/benefits/pay taxes for them. If you make them “illegal” you can have very cheap labor (slaves) that can’t rat you out or they are deported. They also only give corporations a slap on the wrist when they “had no idea they were illegal”. Then the corp just replaces them with “new hires” who are totally “NOT illegal” and starts the process all over until the next time.
“Illegal” immigrants also pay billions in taxes every year while receiving no benefits provided to US citizens with a Social Security number.
"Are my wages illegal?“ “No, it’s the workers who are wrong”
