They believe that they have some kind of birthright to always be hiring cheap labor and continue getting richer off the backs of the people they are hiring. Think of this kind of like a barbell. On the one side. the weights over here on the barbell are the liberals that get all the political power that comes from illegal immigration. On the other side there are probably about 21 Republican conservatives that get empowered by getting rich off of cheap labor. In the middle is the handle of the barbell. that is the middle class. the middle class that used to be an everbroadening. an ever more prosperous middle class that now is losing its purchasing power and being narrowed by the greed of the people that are politically greedy on the one side. and economically greedy on the other side.
