It is lucky that the USA has impoverished countries to our south. Imagine what our food would cost to harvest without migrant labor. Of course republicans complain about migrants living here, they don't mind migrants doing the cheap labor.
What often gets me about how conserbvatives ay the poor should just pull up their bootstraps and make more money. But I notice many of these same conservatives living as middle class people. Damn, why don't they work harder and become millionaires since it's just as easy as that to move up in the economic strata. It's because they can't move up any easier or probable than people in poverty moving up. If millions of middle class people moved u to upper class, then there would be social pressure for the poor to move up due to labor needs. But then, where's the money coming from for the millions of middle class moving up to upper class? There's only so much money out there and the wealthy are not eager to let it go.
