Hurting women is the point. By keeping some people's primary form of income illegal they can be superexploited, just like undocumented migrant workers. It's no coincidence that they're also similarly at risk of kidnapping, trafficking, and violence. No work insurance, no safety net, no legal protection, no rights, no dignity, and if you get caught you are the one that gets punished instead of the people who exploit you.

    I don't think hurting women is the point, more like a bonus or icing on the cake.

    The point is to maintain a facade that our culture is 'above' such kind of behavior, even though everyone with a brain knows it's not.

    Same kind of sentiment that allows Christians/Catholics to have sex out of wedlock but still think they're 'holier than' everyone else who does the same.

    It's all just hypocrisy and insecurity.
