4 min

Tim explains how billionaires like the Koch brothers pushed immigration to secure low-wage, non-unionized labor for maids, nannies, and landscapers, benefiting the wealthy at the expense of American workers.

In this bit4 moments
  • The Koch brothers were the largest proponents of immigration despite living in a building with zero diversity, proving they wanted cheap labor, not diversity.
  • Tim argues the real issue is that corporations and wealthy people benefit from having a group of workers they don't have to pay fair wages or let unionize.
  • Economic migration happens worldwide because there's only so much assimilation any economy can handle without creating rifts that billionaires exploit.
  • Both Obama and Clinton agreed American workers should get priority, so workplace protections shouldn't be a partisan issue.
