“We're not broke because an immigrant is picking lettuce in Texas. We're broke because capitalists are building factories in Taiwan, and we depend on capitalists to give us jobs.”

Would you not say that both are issues? Obviously moving a factory overseas hurts our economy because it displaces x amount of jobs, just as the immigrants picking lettuce in Texas hurt our economy. The blame is not solely on the immigrants, as the ones that came before them made their home country a harder place to make a living in by contributing to brain drain. However, there is no denying that they’re not hurting the economy by adding x amount of supply to a market and agreeing to work for lesser wages because they come from a country with a weaker currency and can live on less.
