It’s crazy to still use a dehumanizing term like illegals when referring to people holding up large segments of the economy while being illegally underpaid by employers. Not even in a politically correct sense, it’s such an obviously propagandized term that I’m surprised people are still gullible enough to use it.

Are you usually this concerned about negligible amounts of taxes not being collected, or only when it concerns some of the most powerless, exploited, and hardworking people in our communities?

I only ask so future historians can better understand the rhetoric used to justify the nakedly authoritarian kidnapping and imprisonment of Latinos and political opponents.
