Who will pick her cotton?

That's an interesting list for sure, but the Rep in the video is not a Democrat.

I believe that’s the point - it’s just “us” and “them” now.

She's full of shite. Nothing about it is "cheaper" - it is merely cost-shifted. You're paying for it in higher taxes across the board.

For every "roofer", "nanny" or "veggie picker", there are scads of nonworking adults and children, who all get Medicaid (or shifted money from insurance or other government programs) provided health care, SNAP, housing, utility, free lunches at school, Spanish language teachers for their children, every single form the government prints must also be available in Spanish, ballots in Spanish.

We don't do that universally for any other language. And it is because we do not have the political will to control the Southern border and enforce immigration laws.

Period.

This goes over the typical Democratic Socialists head.

There are millions of generational Americans who should be working as roofers, carpenters, farm workers, pork, beef and chicken processing plants, landscaping, etc. Instead these people are sitting on their asses collecting government entitlements for a variety of questionable reasons.

Hell, there are nearly 12 million Americans collecting some form of disability benefit and half of that 12 million should be working a 40 hour work week. But hell no, instead of forcing these millions of Americans to get off their asses our politicians have made it more convenient to game the government entitlement racket.....no, let's bring in 15-20 million illegals and pay them low wages to do the work and supplement the illegals with US taxpayer dollars through government entitlement programs.

The use of the word "veggies" drives me nuts.

And she is an idiot who loves modern day slaves who appear to be her own people.

It likely is much more expensive on a macro level because the system in place that provides taxpayer benefits to these "cheaper" laborers is much more prone to fraud and has to flow through several levels of inefficient bureaucracy. So not only are you "truing" up their wages indirectly through all the social services that you are paying for, you are also paying for the additional levels of bureaucracy and fraud.
