I’m not American, but isn’t there an underground adage something like, “The country runs on migrant workers”?
And from what I see from beyond its borders, whenever it breaks—sometimes in such a way it impacts globalisation and foreign economies—its always been the rich.

Kind of, but that’s not even very “nice.” Yeah, there’s a lot of things that migrant workers do, primarily in agriculture and service work, but they’re still taken advantage of. If we’re being honest, the relative comfort of the first world relies on the exploitation of the global poor.
