    it also shows the limits of your supposed class consciousness. Since you can't seem to grasp who "illegal immigrants" are in the global labor context that we ALL live in. My guess is that you also might not care to have learned about how US policy leading the most recent western colonial powers (Germany, France, Britain, The Netherlands) affects labor throughout the world and how it ultimately pushes so many to the kind of desperate poverty that makes them leave their families.

    That you think that "illegal workers" are "Winners" illustrates how little you know about everything "illegal workers" have lost and continue to lose.

    "I don't see any American Dream I see an American Nightmare"

  • Liberals who support illegal immigrants are unknowingly siding with greedy U.S. corporations. Why? Because illegal immigration is about one thing --> more corporate profits via lower labor costs.

    WHO WINS? Greedy companies AND illegal workers (earning FAR more than in Mexico).

    WHO LOSES? The U.S. labor class (U.S. proletariat) via job losses to illegal workers & depressed wages.

    Thus 120 years of U.S. wage struggles fought for since the Haymarket Rebellion of 1886 are being undermined.
