What if someone in a government agency just started printing birth certificates and social security cards for everyone? How would anyone know the difference? Like fake IDs on a mass scale.

    Just a reminder that last time the US pulled this shit, many US citizens were deported to Mexico and nobody with power cared because they were brown.

    Oh, I thought you were pointing out that funding the process so they can get their documents would be the solution, which is true. The whole ‘border crisis’ is a manufactured problem caused by defunding the immigration process, especially for asylum seekers, and capping the number that can immigrate to a ridiculously low number.

    The solution is improving the process so they can be documented.

    Why would the government serving the rich help the migrant worker obtain stronger bargaining position?

    Sometimes it feels like people don’t understand these basic concepts.

    Migrant labour is used to suppress domestic wages.

    H1b for white collar and illegals for blue collar and farm. The moment you give either of them same legal standing as the indigenous population, they will ask for market rate. Literally defeats the purpose of importing them.

        Exactly, work visa give employer more bargaining power over the wage slave. That’s the key feature of the system.
