Ring footage shows an agent pulling his gun on her, after which he shoves her down multiple times, pushes her back into house & slams the door.

All because she was asking for proof of a warrant. They refused to even give their names & badge numbers.

Wage suppression has never come from immigration. It comes from shady business practices and a combined effort of the owner class to separate themselves from the working class. Have you not been hearing about record profits every quarter over the past two decades? Costs for everything have gone up in sync, except for the value of your labour, which has lost incredible amounts over the past 30-40 years.

They are taking the food out of our mouths to buy another Lamborghini. Immigration is a small drop in the barrel for why that's happening, but the people who are to blame want you to blame it on immigrants, and not them. You bought it, hook line and sinker. How's it feel to get played?

    So, with the mass deportations which have, according to the quota of 3000 per day, removed ~200,000 - 300,000 people, wages should be skyrocketing and the unemployment rate should be near zero.

    Phew.

    They should at least be deporting or jailing permanently the employers. That would end the issue overnight especially if there was a come-to-Jesus option. Theres just no disincentive and all the incentive in the workd to be a total fucker. US' biggest problem

    This is not anywhere close to reality. You are already a slave, can you stop working and go enjoy life for a while? Didn't think so. We certainly let them take our worth away though, you are right there. Workers, United, are stronger than all of "them" combined, and it is exactly why they have worked very diligently to convince people that things like "unions" are not good for you and will hurt your employment, when on fact it guarantees you a fairer slice of the pie. Still far from perfect, but we have more power together than we ever will alone.
