What's the point of blaming someone who suffers from the system more than you?

I'm just saying that they're of course part of the problem. If you are taking part in a race to the bottom and have come here to work below the usual rate or conditions, especially illegally of course but also as a result of a capitalist bringing you here, you are causing things to be worse for the ones who could've otherwise worked that job for a better wage.

I'm sure it's not malicious on their part and they're trying to just better their life but that can or course fuck over others. The system sucks and is causing it but we do all have our own individual part in it too.

It especially sucks if they're not in union and are through that harming the hard work unions have done to better the pay and working conditions. Obviously trade unionists and many leftists are going to be salty over capitalists exploiting migrant labour to fuck over unions.
