jobs US citizens turn their noses up at

Jobs that typically don't pay enough for the cost to your body, health, and mental sanity. The overlords love the illegal immigrant stuff because it lets them put the thumbscrews to the workers, both in terms of downward pressure to the wages paid out, and in terms of desperation so the people without other options are forced to work in horrible conditions for terrible pay.

    That's a fair critique, I made it sound more like US citizens are snobby for rejecting underpaid, dangerous jobs when in reality the US's base infrastructure still entirely relies on a form of slave labor to persist. I should've been more nuanced with my description.

    It's telling that they blame the migrants workers for "stealing the jerbs" instead of the businesses that hire migrants workers in order to get around paying a fair wage

    Why blame a white capitalist when anyone else can take the fall?
