[quote=Anonymous]I’m surprised there aren’t more people on both sides questioning why we “need” more cheap workers. Cheap immigrant labor enables our worst practices. Sprawling car-centric development that requires cheap labor to maintain huge resource-sucking lawns? Check. Standard American diet that requires large amounts of cheap meat? Check. If there is an end to this pipeline flow of cheap labor, then we might actually have to start making real choices about where to spend our money. Maybe meat and lawn mowing should not be cheap. Maybe agriculture and meat processing workers would actually get paid more and have better working conditions as a result of companies having to make the jobs good enough for Americans to accept. I think Trump’s tariff idea needs more finessing, but maybe we should try and level the playing field for US production rather than keep buying Amazon crap made in Chinese factories that do not care about labor conditions or the environment.[/quote]
