There's nothing wrong with cheap labor or busting unions.

There is if you're using or encouraging illegal foreign labor to do it while forcing the taxpayers to subsidize that labor. It's the whole point of these threads, or haven't you noticed?

Indeed. With a little polemical imagination, I could even call using illegal immigrant labor as "stealing" or "looting" from taxpayers. Far more just than equating advocacy of the rule of law with looting in New Orleans.

"while forcing the taxpayers to subsidize that labor."

More myths. Illegals aren't subsidized anymore than any other employees. The working class are all subsidized by the wealthy who pay the overwhelming majority of taxes.

The share each and every man woman and child of the federal budget alone in a little over $20,000 per year.

Illegal workers contribute $800 Billion to our GDP per year. The corporations and wealthy whose taxes make up for yours and mine wouldn't have that money to pay those taxes without the contribution of illegals.

Cities know what generates the wealth that pays the city taxes. That's why so many are "sanctuary" cities. You will never win by trying to claim that productive workers are an economic liability.
