I mean I'm kinda glad they sue instead of roll over and take the pay. International hiring at lower pay is a capitalist strategy you see everywhere.
I watched a Business Insider video a while ago about (of all things) mushroom farmers somewhere in the US. They bluntly admitted they lost tens of thousands of dollars worth of crop because they couldn't find staff. They couldn't find staff because they only hired south-American people, and they only hired south-American people because they were cheaper.
Very long story short, under capitalism, employers don't want to pay their staff.
> There's only one side (leftists) and one party (Democrats) that are arguing for more immigration and open borders in the US
This is only true if you refer to extreme left/democrats and extreme right/republicans.
Moderate democrats (the ones usually in control) routinely set limits on immigration and refugee issues.
Moderate republicans, who were usually in control pre-trump, are very pro-immigration (it keeps labor market competitive).
Note that union-oriented folks often times are anti-immigration. Union folks at the national level are currently largely aligned with democrats, but their members have made a massive shift towards the Trump-flavor Republican Party.
To close, I don’t think that the political line is quite as clear as you seem to propose. The extreme left may want few/no immigration limits, and the extreme right may want extremely strict immigration limits, but the moderates from both sides want healthy immigration with limits, and the specifics of the limits are the main issue of contention.
Said another way, the moderates from both sides are closer in ideology to each other than to the extremist sections of their respective party/ideology.
