    The migrant workers are often subjected to working conditions that would violate federal worker protection laws, but because they are in the country illegally, they don’t report the poor working conditions out of fear. That’s exploitation, through and through. No worker should be expected to tolerate such poor treatment, regardless of skin color.

      These companies depend on immigrant labor… Will they stand idly by while government takes away their exploitable pool of undocumented immigrants?

        Likely not, but Trumpism is very quid pro quo based, so those companies that have the means to gain favor with Trump might be able to keep their laborers or gain exclusive rights to immigrant laborers. The smaller companies will be sacrificed in this regard.
