Well, I'm thrilled that you're so in favor of workers rights.  So you're going to be voting for Bernie, right?

The fact is, we currently have a pool of illegal labor, and the BEST way we can improve their conditions (if that's what you actually care about) is to regularlze them and given them the right to unionize, OSHA protections, minimum wage, access to benefits.

Also curious what you think the immediate economic impact would be of deporting all illegal labor?

If your idea is that we are going to simultaneously reform immigration to replace them with legal immigrants, that seems like quite a feat, and maybe Trump should have been working on that when he had control of Congress and the White House.

If your idea is that we're going to deport everyone and not replace them, then we will face demographic collapse, and enjoy your robot caregiver and the end of Social Security.

There is already a pool of labor in the country that has the right to unionize, OSHA protections, minimum wage, and access to benefits.  The employers know how to find them, they just prefer not to. I wonder why that is.

Maybe you should think about the immediate economic impact of no longer having an exploitable pool of labor. [/quote]
