    broke uneducated GOP are thoroughly indoctrinated to believe “illegals” are causing all their problems, without a single thought about the (also GOP) business owners who hire those illegals under the table, thus giving them a reason to come here in the first place

      This in Canada, BTW, but I s’pose that doesn’t invalidate your general statement.

      I can confirm, work for manufacturing, owners hire people for $16/hr contract (min wage where I am) no benefits through third parties (who get paid $32+/hr to hire them.) The workers overwhelmingly do not speak English. Many, MANY of the workers use stolen SSNs or their relatives SSNs for employment. Everyone including the owners who work here in the home office are open republicans with very few exceptions and they’ll all blame immigrants while themselves getting paid wayyyyy more than $16/hr.

      I have seen this firsthand. Same owners are going to be dropping 9 figures to acquire a subdivision of another very large company. The nepotism is fucking insane and many executives are skimming money and hiring friends and family for vendors. Private company swimming in cash with tons and tons of mismanaged projects and zero budgets.
