  • I’ll make two statements:

    1. “Illegal” Immigration is a Red Herring. If governments really cared about “illegal” immigration, they would go after Employers. But (a) politicians shy away from biting the hand that feeds, and (b) the Capitalist sector relies on that cheap labor.

    2. Anti-Immigration is False Consciousness. The goal is to deflect popular critique and hostility away from capitalists and towards migrants, and create a hostile atmosphere that effectively disciplines migrant laborers in favor of capitalist exploitation.

    Every now and again a conservative government gets too close to the Sun and burn their allies. Alabama and Florida both kicked out migrant workers, with hilariously predictable results and capitulation back to the status quo.

    Nevertheless, a variety of employers in Alabama said they have not been able to find enough legal residents to replace the seasoned Hispanic field pickers, drywall hangers, landscapers and poultry workers who fled the state. There was an initial rush of job applications, they said, but many new employees quit or were let go.

    and…

    SB1718 punishes employers who use undocumented labor and forbids undocumented people from having a driver’s license.

    Many local Florida businesses say the new law has led to workers leaving the state, hurting their bottom line. “A lot of people are scared,” says Sanchez. “A lot of people went north and never came back.”

    My answer for Leftists is ironically the same for Liberals: Go After The Employers!
