Tariffs increase the price of imported food. Less workers increase the price of homegrown food. Suggested sales tax to cover for income tax increases the price of all food. All of this will hurt the lower income families the most.
Should the immigrants in your country be treated better? Oh absolutely! But dragging them away from their lives and deporting them sure as shit isn't the answer to stop oppression and I refuse to believe you're so fucking stupid you don't understand that
Legal immigrants? They're already treated well. Illegal immigrants should be deported as soon as they're found.
Don't pretend like you aren't trying to conflate the two, it's incredibly obvious.
