The problem with "illegals"

-

Is it any wonder there's a demand for foreign workers in the US? $7 an hour
is not a living wage, so naturally the American labor force doesn't race to take
those jobs. Packing house wages haven't increased in twenty years, mostly as a
direct result of illegal immigration and south-of-the-border recruiting efforts,
and partly because we've started moving American companies to cheaper labor --
and right out of the jurisdiction of fair labor standards and market value in
this country. American workers cannot compete on this playing field without
sending Mom to work, thereby dominishing family values and the family unit
itself!

  On May 9, 2021 a sergeant with the University City, Missouri Police Dept. detained and demanded the identification of a man after receiving a middle-finger salute. Sgt. Larry Becton approached the man and accused him of "aimlessly walking around" and insisted that he provide ID. "Do you live over here," Becton asked. "It's not an option. Right now you're being detained ... for suspicious activity," the officer said. "I will take you to the station and get your ID," Becton repeated. The suspect, who asked to remain anonymous, asked,  "Is this because I flicked you off?" As Becton demanded the man stand up, presenting his handcuffs, said, "I'm going to put you in handcuffs right now. Go ahead and resist if you want to." He then reached into the man's pocket and fished out his wallet. "For future reference, young man, you don't disrespect the police like that" the police sergeant said. Sgt. Becton

A video posted under the channel name Frank Meadows shows police being scolded for stopping a man walking along a city street. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRjUt3n7Rh0 ) The man, apparently walking to a Walmart in West Des Moines, Iowa, was flagged down by 2 police officers passing by in a marked patrol car. They were joined by another pair of officers shortly thereafter. Officers Brian Ascheman and Jacob Sutton identified themselves when asked. The other two officers, Greg Warren and Clint Ray, appeared to remain silent when asked their names. Ray is the police officer who arrested Keilon Hill for harassment on October 29, 2018 while canvassing.

We as Americans tend to turn the other cheek on undocumented migrants because they contribute significantly to our local economies by depressing labor costs, but the migrants are often mistreated. Back in May, an 18-year-old Guatemalan migrant, gainfully employed by St. Augustine, Florida area agricultural producers, was being detained by a St. Johns County Sheriff's deputy for unknown reasons. Sgt. Michael Kunovich rolled up on Vergilio Aguilar-Mendez, who doesn't speak English, in front of Super 8 Motel, and began questioning him. Kunovich quickly escalated the encounter and began applying physical force against Aguilar-Mendez. During a struggle, Kunovich, a 25-year veteran of SJSO, tased Aguilar-Mendez 4 times. After backup officers arrived and while Aguilar-Mendez was being handcuffed, Kunovich suffered a medical event and was pronounced dead a short time later. Aguilar-Mendez is being charged for his death and has been locked up ever since, even though he had not committed
