Working-class Americans are feeling the sting of a broken immigration system, with increasing competition for jobs and dwindling wages, as articulated by DoorDash driver Ruby Nicole Day.
In a recent opinion piece, Day expressed her dismay at the lack of action from the Democratic Party regarding immigration policies that have significantly affected her livelihood and that of countless others in similar positions.
As she pointed out, the Biden administration's soft-border policies have led to an influx of illegal immigrants entering the job market, making it increasingly difficult for hard-working Americans to secure jobs at fair wages.
Day argues that illegal immigrants are utilizing fraudulent identification to gain employment, thereby undercutting American workers who are paying taxes and adhering to legal hiring practices.
“It’s disappointing that the party that says it's for the people has so little to offer us,” Day stated, emphasizing her belief that the Democrats have failed working-class Americans while they prioritize open borders.
Highlighting the detrimental impacts on her own earnings, she shared that her best day’s salary has plummeted from $100 to just $60 as competition from illegal immigrants continues to rise.
"How can people come and take work from struggling Americans like that, and no one does anything about it?" she questioned, calling for more stringent measures, such as the implementation of E-Verify, to protect American jobs from illegal competition.
What Day is experiencing is not an isolated incident. Her reality reflects a broader trend where working-class individuals feel marginalized by government policies that, in their view, value foreign labor over their own contributions to society.
As the 2024 elections approach, issues surrounding immigration will undoubtedly become a pivotal topic of discussion, especially among Republican candidates and their supporters who advocate for stricter border controls and protection of American jobs.
Day's poignant call to action serves as a rallying cry for many who are concerned about the direction of immigration policy and its impact on the American workforce.
In a landscape where workers like her struggle to make ends meet while facing unfair competition, the need for a strong conservative stance on immigration becomes increasingly pressing.
