• people like this asshole builder are the most dim-witted of evil petite bourgeois. to make their money, they depend entirely on a steady flow of dislocated, undocumented labor. that means already depressed wages and structural barriers to worker organization are baked into their enterprise. not to mention, it’s fucking texas where they’ve probably shot and buried any number of Cesar Chavez types. this Small Business Tyrant uses their name and their language skills to exploit the shit out of their workers and certainly pulls all the same, toxic familia framing.

    even before i was a leftist, i grew up in a very immigrant heavy area and for a time, worked for this 1st generation native born small business tyrant. he fuckin’ hated newer immigrants from the country his father emigrated from. it baffled me to see.

    people like this saw trump and saw the opportunity to tighten the screws even harder on their workforce, not realizing that at a certain point of xenophobia, it’s probably just not worth the risk for the worker to get separated from their family and end up dumped in some corecivic blacksite states away or another country entirely.

    people like this should be stripped of everything they own to make possible restitution to anyone who has ever worked for them and then sent out onto the desert, to dig bioswales and build check dams from earth and stone with shovel and pick until their bodies fall apart

    “We didn’t think this administration was going to crack down on undocumented workers that hard,” Reyna said, but “it is completely devastating the local construction industry. It’s grinding it down to a halt… "

    Voters like Reyna, a second-generation Mexican American, helped Trump flip this overwhelmingly Latino area for the first time in generations, in part due to the president’s promise to lower the cost of living and secure the border. He is set to rally for GOP candidates in San Antonio on Wednesday.

    What did you expect from the Petite Bourgeoisie? Lol, theyre a contradiction in themselves as a class. (In the imperial core, its almost twice fold). Free Capitalism 4 All! > Businesses get bought out, indebted, capital concentrates > What?! Get fucked Gusano, coming from a Mexican 1st generation too.
