I really pissed off a bunch of my family when I was a kid with this general concept.
“Illegal Mexicans” are taking all the jobs was a common sentiment with some of my adult family members and their friends. Being young, precocious, and naive, I remember asking why they are mad at the people “taking” their jobs, but not the owners who were hiring illegal immigrants. It didn’t go over very well.
It’s such a silly idea, kids can see how stupid it is because they haven’t been thoroughly indoctrinated yet I guess. When I was young hearing about immigrants taking jobs it just seemed logical that they wouldn’t ‘take’ them if US citizens would work for the same pay as the migrant workers. The employers clearly enable this, why would anyone blame an immigrant? A ten year old can understand this.

The answer is simple. If you’re exploiting people you’re doing capitalism right. It’s the American dream.
