illegal Immigrants are a function of capitalism

With the inauguration of Donald Trumop as president of the United States, the mass deportation of illegal immigrants has begun. So, let’s talk about how this
a. Won’t make eggs cheaper
and
b. Will hurt the very system he hopes to defend
companies basically import the illegal immigrants that you complain of. Now, I am of the belief that nobody is illegal on stolen land, let's just get that over with.
The reason for this is related to capitalism and the profit motive.
It’s cheaper to get 80 immigrants and pay them 3 dollars an hour and hold ICE over their heads than it is to get 80 americans. Let’s use my state as an example. You would have to pay the 80 Americans each thirteen dollars an hour, and with that, you also have to give them sick leave, maternity/paternity leave, and other paid time off.
It is more profitable to have illegal immigrants. The “exorbitant” prices you have now is the result of the exploitation of illegal immigrants.
If we do the math, illegal immigrants make a profit of around 1 dollar per carton with the example I used of illegal immigrants. With my example of Americans, they would lose 9 dollars per carton.
If we want to deport the people who are the entire reason that the eggs are the price they are, we would get more expensive eggs.
If we want to remove the incentive these companies have to use illegal immigrants, while making eggs cheaper. There is an option. It starts with an s and you will not like it.
The solution is socialism. So, since the main audience of this is MAGAts we must start from square negative three.
Socialism is not when the government shows up and takes your stuff. Socialism is the abolition of private property. This is different from personal property. Personal property is your house, your car, your toothbrush.
Private property is your amazon warehouses, your walmarts. The means of production. Socialism takes those walmarts and amazon warehouses from jeff bezos and the waltons, and puts them in the people that actually produce things.
The employees. To make the same amount that Jeff Bezos makes in a year, the average Amazon worker would have to work for over 22 years, just to catch up to his single lap around the sun.
Jeff Bezos would not lose things like his house or his car. Only his warehouses and company.
I would also like to answer another common question. What would happen to small business owners? And the answer will vary. If they own one location, and actively participate in the production of goods. They would be fine.
There is no reason to continue illegal immigration, at least, without the process it brings.
