It's a popular misconception. The ultra wealthy have never had a problem with immigrants increasing the size of the cheap labor pool. Rich politicians have always had to pay lip service to organized labor's concerns about rampant immigration, so they have sometimes worked anti-immigrant rhetoric into their election campaigns if they were running in areas where organized labor was strong. George W the patrician class politician was probably a lot more friendly to immigrants than Obama was. Trump isn't really a hypocrite because he almost certainly isn't sincere about his anti-immigrant stance. He just bashes immigrants because it plays well with his base. He would hire illegals to be white house landscapers and housekeepers in a New York second if he could get away with it.
Um no, the greedy really do not care if you are born in a country or from another country, if greed is their motivation, they will always take cheap labor and attempt to drive down wages, regardless of papers or being born here.
That is not to say there are those who are empathetic to migration that do hire migrants regardless of papers, there are.
Trump is the type who hires migrants for the cheap labor. There are other rich people who hire people without papers too, but are not fucking bigots and understand that it is just about surviving.
Bit of advice, Brian: When you're replying to a post with which you agree, it's best to not start the reply with 'Um no'.
