Meat packing is a dirty, nasty job, but it used to pay relatively high wages. With the influx of illegal labor and lax enforcement those wages have dropped precipitously.’
Sure; like everything else from harvesting to shoveling pigsh!t, Americans used to do all of these jobs until employers and governments conspired to skirt laws to import more foreigners (to undercut the wages).

It also becomes a self eating machine.
The less they pay their illegal workers the less they need to charge for their meat the LONGER the BAD ECONOMIC EFFECTS of other bad government decisions on the economy can be MASKED and kept from the people.
The “Cheap Labor” is something all big government types want as it helps to lower the price of good and services which MASKS all the bad effects that Big Gov and Crony gov has on the fundamentals of the economy.
If all these prices reflected reality and the reality of the socialist policies there would be a lot more citizens revolting.
This is also why countries like Germany and Sweden have been importing cheap muslim labor, it allowed them to keep the nightmare known as socialism alive a few decades beyond it’s expiration date.
Yep cheap illegal labor has laid off Americans in most industries.
