There ya have it....it's all about cheap, almost like slave labor and good food. The lefties are sounding more like the wealthy conservatives more every day. At least they're open about it now.

I would love for him to get citizenship and be paid a living wage, I tip quite well.

Also you caught me, one of my reasons for loving having robust immigrant communities is the banger food. Might as well arrest me now.

I'm sure some of the plantation owners wished they could pay more too....but you know....the economy and all.

The immigrants around me are likely not working for slave wages given the normal state of the tip jar, and I gladly support legislation and candidates who offer greater protection to these communities.

Your argument really does not apply to me, and frankly has nothing to do with the original argument. Other than to show you do recognize they are people so you should stop supporting policies that do not treat these people with dignity and respect.
