Youre kind of proving my point without realizing it. A union is a mitigating factor, just as regulations (like a minimum wage) are, against a full blown brutal capitalistic “free market”. One without any limits on the exploitation of working people.

Like I said before, migrants (especially without work authorization) are basically screwed in the economy as it is right now. No unions, virtually no regulations. Not much chance to get out of it either. They are one subset of society that is still subject to the most brutal unmitigated capitalist forces in that sector of the labor market.

The government knows and has always known there are tens of millions of people working under the table without any labor protection, but they never really attempt to do anything about it. Up until deciding to try and deport many of them, which is just idiotic. Not to mention the execution of it being borderline genocidal
