    It’s not just awkward, it’s flat out incorrect in it’s characterization of the post.

    The post said “food workers” and included the statement that 20% of them are illegal immigrants. That means most food workers are not illegal immigrants.

    Further it made no implication that the only jobs illegal immigrants are doing is in the food industry. So it doesn’t imply a single purpose for that group of people either.

    There’s no whiff of declaring an “if and only if” sort of relation.

    Could complain that we seem to be so cool with sub-legal labor class to let the industry skirt labor laws in the name of “affordability”, but griping about “food workers” is asinine.
