    I really pissed off a bunch of my family when I was a kid with this general concept.

    “Illegal Mexicans” are taking all the jobs was a common sentiment with some of my adult family members and their friends. Being young, precocious, and naive, I remember asking why they are mad at the people “taking” their jobs, but not the owners who were hiring illegal immigrants. It didn’t go over very well.

      The answer is simple. If you’re exploiting people you’re doing capitalism right. It’s the American dream.
