Progressives gush about the vibrant diversity of food served by Korean restaurants in Los Angeles — but they also ignore the kitchens where migrants work long hours in terrible conditions for low wages.​

“Koreatown is without question the mecca of Korean cookery in America,” says LAEater.com. “The food served in this vibrant neighborhood, full of neon lights and late nights, is so stellar that even food obsessives visiting from Seoul marvel at its sheer quality and quantity.”

But legal and illegal migrants in Koreatown kitchens face “a life of blatant wage theft, racial discrimination, constant stress, exploitation and job insecurity,” says a July 29 column by writer Frank Shyong. He is an Asian-American columnist who covers “diversity and diaspora in Los Angeles” for the Los Angeles Times . . . .
. . . .These issues aren’t unique to Korean barbecue restaurants or exclusive to the restaurant industry. A 2010 UCLA study found that 89% of wage workers surveyed in Los Angeles reported some type of workplace violation. Wage workers in Los Angeles lose an estimated $1.4 billion to wage theft every year . . . .

This is true, but the solution obviously isn’t to deport them. Still, neither neo-liberal “open borders” that aim to exploit cheap labour or nativist social democratic Sanders-esque opposition to open borders are progressive or in the interest of the working class internationally.

You should really learn to support your positions that are in blatant conflict with our rule of law.

A practice of deporting illegal workers does solve the problem IMHO. Employers are thus educated to hire legal workers, which often leads to improved wages and conditions. Some restaurants may even close because of the economics, but that’s just the realities of business.

Owners who intentionally cheat our employment laws should not be enabled…

I don’t need to be a progressive to see the good and the bad.

Persons (especially migrants) will do the work many won’t or quite frankly (in agriculture) can’t. The persons who own the company and are therefore responsible for the pay grade, work culture and hours should be fair and empathetic to a just work/life balance.

When our Lord spoke of the parable of the vineyard workers there was more focus on the griping of the worker who had worked all day being given the same wage as the one who was called in late.

I’ve always believed the real focus is the generosity of the Master of the vineyard.
 
I mentioned a story lamenting the exploitation of immigrants that occurs by leftist (“progressives”) businesswomen and men.

Instead of condemnation of these abuses, DENNYINMI seems to make excuses rationalizing such behavior as defrauding the wage earner.

What next?

Ignoring pro-abortion politicians on their FAVORING spilling innocent blood?

Hopefully not!

DENNYINMI. I was disappointed you took such a “vanilla” stand against these sins that cry out to heaven for God’s vengeance.

I’m not saying you SUPPORT these things.
I don’t think you do support such atrocities (but only you know that here).

I’m just disappointed in the inability of you to make a wholesale condemnation of these sins committed against our migrant population.

Reminds me of other people who refuse to distance themselves from their favorite politician when he is working to help get innocent migrants murdered.

Here was the Obama people doing just that (As to the people that will still support them? You will have to draw your own conclusions on that.). . . .
