Very Unpopular Opinion that I Actually Hold

All rights of all workers should be protected, whether the workers are citizens or not, whether they came to the country legally or not, whether they are humans, caterpillars, zebras, etc. Because otherwise, you create an incentive to hire whoever is not protected by those rights. Plus, frankly, that's just moral.

If those who do things legally and ilegally have the same rights, what's the point of being law-abiding?

Better make sure all workers are doing it legally.

@Cierzo I'm just arguing that not having labor laws apply to illegal immigrants may, in fact, punish everyone else more than it punishes them because it gives permission for wages to be driven down, etc.
