Because we're happy to accept undocumented immigrants as workers, especially for the jobs that most american citizens would not even consider, but within that frame of reference, they are economic capital, nothing more...

We at all costs want to avoid humanizing the objects we use... that's why you don't treat animals that you prepare as food like pets... the same analogy can be applied to undocumented immigrants... People have no problem using these people for labor because they're cheap, and want to avoid giving them acknowledgment of their humanity, because it then makes them harder to exploit...


Though, I do think undocumented immigration is a problem here in CA, but the focus shouldn't lie in the influx of people crossing the border, but WHY they're crossing the border...
