  1. ​@Patrick-pu5di the economy runs on poverty. Consumers demand low prices and quick goods, and this requires millions of workers working for low wages. Corporations view rising worker power, not continued poverty, as unacceptable.

  2. Corporations support immigration because they want access to labor forces who can't afford to argue and will work very hard for very low rates of pay. Conservatives oppose immigration because it "threatens" American culture. Remember this line: the truth of our political values lies in the risks we refuse to accept. How USA deals with immigration shows what we truly value, and we don't truly value helping immigrants.
