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.

Hmm. I'll buy certain human rights should apply to everyone on American soil. And I think mostly, labor laws should be like that, as far as safety, working conditions, and child labor laws for example. It really doesn't make sense, for example to not have to pay overtime to undocumented aliens.

At the same time, it seems like there's room to talk about public services, etc.
