Most of us started somewhere. My husband started on the loading docks breaking down the containers products were shipped in and sometimes it was freezing cold and sometimes it was awful hot. It was during the Berlin crisis when no one wanted to hire young men who might be drafted. I remember KCRazorback said he picked cotton on his family farm. Both my girls worked at McDonalds, for Helene she worked there for her whole working life.
Some people want Costco over Sam's because of these issues.
The migrant workers come here and work very hard. You wait and see what happens to them and to their children. They will rise and shine. They will be successful and they will populate the big money lists or their families will.
That is what happens.
The expectation that all jobs should pay the same in this country is unrealistic and very kind, but still, not how things work. Well it works in Communist countries.

Bury your head in the sand if you want. If you watched the documentary you would see that the workers are only asking for a penny more per pound. They are not asking to be paid the same as Bill Gates. To infer that this is communism is insane.
Sometimes people see only what they want to see.
