The authoritarian right-wing loves illegal immigration for businesses. More money! But they pretend to be against it.The Reich wing wants to keep out legal immigrants also.Or maybe just start throwing the people that hire illegal immigrants in jail, as the laws allow.Keep out immigrants = keep the labor supply low = raise wages.How do pro-Trump candidates represent the longer-run best interests of labor?
Yes, the pandemic has provided temporary benefits for labor. But there is no guarantee how much longer union's can negotiate for better conditions. Labor wants a candidate who will best represent their best interests regardless of temporary conditions. That means pro Trump candidates.
We see this with the lack of any attempt to increase budgeting and court infrastructure required to actually address illegal immigrants in the US.
The alt-right wants to pull things back to pre-Civil War times for immigration.
