I agree with aristocracy, but I also think cheap labor is a “follow the money issue”. The elites counter with “jobs Americans won’t do”. Not true. They are jobs paying to little to be done why do they pay to little? Because the free market has been distorted by imported serf labor

Pay $8 an hour for picking apples and see what happens IF no serf labor undercuts the market. No one will apply. It’s hard work and a living can’t be made at 8 an hour

Without serf distortion of the market it will find a real level...I’m guessing
About 20 an hour. They will cry that prices will rise. Why? Because imported serf labor over the years has short circuited finding efficiencies.

Give a few years and things will balance out

They are jobs paying too little to be done. Why do they pay too little?

Sorry for not proofing first.

The short hand is that the upper party dems want cheap votes and upper party pubbies want cheap labor.

Neither care about the american people.

“They are jobs paying to little to be done why do they pay to little?”

First, use “to”, “too” correctly.

Second, if Dad, Mom, and son are working for $8/hr ($24/hr) that is a livable wage.
