      This. Defunding education, removing social safety nets, and scaling back labour laws all will force whole families of low income workers to replace the migrant workers for the same or worse pay.

        Absolutely. My comment was just a quip/ meme, but I do worry that what you laid out is their goal.

        They have indicated in Project 2025 that they plan to rollback various safety nets. Unfortunately, the US is already lacking in that.
