It’s an odd topic politically. Democrats have traditionally been very pro labor and unions, while republicans are pro business. Cheap labor is great for business and bad for wages to be very obvious.

You can bet that things are pretty bad to pack up the family and walk to the border from Guatemala amidst the elements, cartels, and other dangers.
