However, if you are condemning this program in the name of the working class and not condemning workplace raids and the threat of mass deportation on the same basis, you are not actually against using the immigration system to attack workers.

As someone on SSDI I can't tell you how it hurts to listen to people speak about Social Security and Medicare but fail to mention the populations who subsist on these programs: Seniors: 77.8% Survivors: 11.2% People w/Disabilities: 11% It's very crucial in our messaging to ensure EVERYONE is seen.
