There are multiple, overlapping interests oppressing undocumented people:
- Compliance (low-pay / unsafe conditions / unreported victims of crimes) - such as at many of the mega meat-processing facilities. Undocumented workers at mega-facilities are rarely hassled (except for token raids and rare criminal-related issues) because their companies have the clout to keep ICE/CBP in check. (I can't recall the name of a documentary, but there is a good one on this topic.)
- Indefinite incarceration in for-profit detention centers (prisons in all but name), run by companies like GEO Group, such as TNWDC. Also, underpaid detention labor and the monetization of inmates essential needs. The family and female detention centers are also horrible.
- Militarized-police-industrial complex - ICE/CBP leadership want ever-expanding budgets, increasing stats, org-chart pyramids and loftier titles, and their vendors want bigger contracts.
- And, of course, convenient scapegoating and projection against marginalized group(s) for socioeconomic conditions (The -ism's).
