(21,646 posts)I always thought this too but a lot of the time the people doing this in a community they know are the rich people sitting next to them in church or at a club that they wanna be like wish they could live like, so they do not turn on them and blame the illegal workers they hire instead. They will distort the whole picture or tear off a large corner of the puzzle
They do not disapprove of how the owners get the money or that they add to US unemployment or lower wages but they do admire their wealth and what it buys and those employers being part of a community are untouchable
Poor outsider people are a go to for disapproval anyway even more when not citizens and lured here by a job. Also some of the jobs they are showing recently that even when USunemployed they can not do the same amount because of physical requirements even at a higher wage
I assume much of the work is at an inhumane pace along with the low pay to bring that rich family some more bucks that those illegal immigrant hating folks admire
Plus that's if they don't rip them off completely and not payout. You would think if anything the concern would be for the misuse of workers and that it could triclkle to all worker's rights. But I suspect with their issues they never see past what the worker looks like or owns.
They will not turn on their fellows when there is an easy scapegoat for where ever their anger stems from . I don't think it's all job loss I think some is just growing whipped up racism or xenophobia although there was alway this block of citizens fixated on it but they will never agree to owners going to jail IMO
Hell the way it is going might even at some point decide the people hiring are victims of the illegal immigrants !

Keep talking at smoke breaks. If one ear opens it is a good thing they can talk to someone else
