A “one day protest” is likely going to have little to no effect.

They should definitely go for 48 hours, wait I've seen this before...
-
They are meant to be warnings, to be escalated and repeated until you get the desired effect without causing too much trouble right from the start.
-
uh huh. You start off with 'we go until you come back to the table with a real solution' and work from there. Otherwise, they can just wait it out. If you give a timeline, they'll use it to their advantage.
They then have a reason to come back with a real solution rather than just waiting it out.

I'm confused by this whole debacle. For decades, Democrats have been calling to end migrant exploitation. The largest vector for this, by far, is the use of illegal migrants. Employers pay them under the table, and pay far less than legal migrants. So Florida goes ahead and sets harsh penalties for any businesses hiring illegal migrants. Shouldn't this be praised by everyone on the left?
-
I believe there's a middle ground between a) paying migrants terrible wages and b) not hiring migrants at all.
-
If the goal is to better the conditions of illegal migrants, than them not getting any jobs due to hateful policies isnt really cutting it.
-
Because I don't like solving problems with even bigger problems. Or jobs left half finished.
You don't end immigration by just banning it, hell that has been the right's key point to gun control. And they're right. Banning a starving family from working does not fix the hunger issue, nor did it address the over exploitation of immigrants. It just made it so a family has to come up with illegal ways of feeding themselves.
Hell it didn't even help business owners because they now have rotting fields, and they have to pay higher wages to attract labor.
So the problem isn't that the left isn't praising it, it is that the capitalist right wing business owners also hate it. There is a middle ground and this ain't it.
-
Do you have better solutions in mind. My naive thoughts are that paying a living wage will also cost business owners more (hence why they're not sounds that), but try that regulating illegal immigrant pay could risk deportation. The later point is speculation on my part, and seems oxymoronic ...
Seems like the best option is to make it easier to get legal immigrant area status for workers.

Except that the workers are the ones catching the felonies here.
You can't possibly be this ignorant.

If you genuinely think there is no middle ground you may wanna head back Reddit lol

LMAO! Do americans realize their country is one of the hardest places in the world to migrate to? The backlog for diversity visa aplicants is over 20 million people. Nothing to be afraid of since most are not let in.
