like the ones who destroyed Mexico's economy back in the time of the peso crisis, drying up jobs & independent livelihoods in Mexico & impoverishing people;
like the ones who are presently putting eastern europe into penury, unleashing floods of economic refugees;
like the ones sponsoring the wars in the middle east, somalia, congo & elsewhere, forcing people to flee their homes to escape the violence & destruction;
like corps such as tyson, agricprocessors & others who drove down decent wages & benefits in the meatpacking industry & actively recruited low-wage "illegals," in some case paying a price per head;
like the capitalists behind most of the mass movements of population in this century & the last, they destroy people's livelihoods, homes, family relations, in the interest of their fat profits.
and every time those workers aren't profitable anymore, after the corps have sucked all the profits they can from their latest bubble, they turn on the workers they themselves brought in, calling for the public to scapegoat them as causes of the disaster wrought by the capitalists themselves.
history is clear on this; it's a pattern that accompanies every boom & bust: chinese & irish railroad labor being the most familiar US example.
