>Because these things happened in "flyover" states, they were only very rarely shown on television on the coasts, and so the meme stuck.
How do you determine from TV that the people lining up for meatpacking jobs were not undocumented immigrants?
Like, it is generally accepted there aren't any in "flyover states" or something?
I never really thought of it until this moment, but you know how within 100 miles of any border, your constitutional rights are somewhat compromised so DHS can operate? That ought to mean a pretty substantial incentive for people who are undocumented to migrate inward. So I would bet they do.
