@Moon @thendrix > In a 1948 telegram to President Harry
Truman, the League of United Latin-American Citizens blamed the displacement on a preponderance of illegal workers, stating that it "signifies the lowering of wage standards almost to a peonage level and ... force[s] thousands of native born and naturalized Americans to uproot their families, suspend the education of their children and migrate to other states in search of a living wage."

Basically the same complaint they had about the Chinese and then the African Americans post Reconstruction lol

the free market is bad when it is not in my favor 😭
