The point that needs to be made, Horowitz says, is that none of these "oppressed" are actually oppressed. Black people from Haiti and Hispanic people from Mexico are risking their lives to get into the US because they know that their opportunities are much greater here. There is no systemic oppression
Well, Horowitz is wrong. His argument is a fallacy. It's nonsense to say that there is no oppression here as evidenced by people trying to enter the country illegally. They may be more oppressed in their native country and the lesser of two evils is preferable.

By your logic Millionaires live in poverty. Because there are Billionaires. The "oppressed" people in America would be Kangs in Haiti.

What class of people is being systemically oppressed in this country, and why?
I would argue that our welfare system is the closest thing we have to oppression in our country. I think there would be a whole lot less talk of oppression if we didn't have the generational welfare problem that keeps families in poverty for generations.

Oppression in America is when the poor are fat.
