Doing America's 'Dirty Work'

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

68% : It falls disproportionately to people with fewer choices and opportunities such as high-school graduates from depressed rural areas, undocumented immigrants, women and people of color.
40% : I've spent the past few years researching the lives of such workers: mental health aides and guards who patrol the wards of America's jails and prisons, many of which are rife with brutality and violence; Border Patrol agents who enforce America's inhumane immigration policies; undocumented immigrants who man the "kill floors" of industrial slaughterhouses, where animals are hacked apart under brutal conditions in order to satisfy the popular demand for cheap meat; and drone operators who carry out "targeted killings" in America's never-ending wars, which have faded from the headlines even as the number of lethal strikes conducted with little oversight steadily increased under Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump.
