Todays democrats still support slavery. When supportive excuses flow, one of the most popular is how illegals are the only ones willing to work for peanuts, as no self-respecting American would be work so hard for so little pay. Its why I adopted my current tag line.
You do realize that many, if not most, in Republican leadership, support lots of immigration and access to low-wage labor? “Work for peanuts” as you say.
Just be careful how you play the race card.
