What I don’t understand is why corporate America is against immigration. So many big businesses rely on the cheap, willing labor of immigrants.
They aren’t. However, they need to blame someone for the ills of society that they cause by taking all our money, to make us angry at the wrong people and let them keep taking all our money. So they choose immigrants, because xenophobia is a natural human emotion and easy to exploit.
Also, strict immigration laws and the constant threat of deportation can be used to more effectively exploit immigrant workers.
Very important part of the machine.
