'Good' CEO Doubles Down on Viral Post Blasting Supporters of Mass Deportation: 'It's Our Responsibility to Advocate for the Vulnerable'

Chad Carleton, CEO of Good Company, didn't expect his post about why immigrant workers overshadow American employees to go viral, but now he's doubling down on his claims while slamming anyone who supports President-elect Donald Trump's plans for mass deportation next month.

"I feel strongly that it's our responsibility as humans to advocate for the vulnerable," Carleton told Newsweek. "Seeing a group of very deserving people, immigrants, be singled out and ridiculed lights a fire inside me that I can't explain. I think those people deserve a voice of support from someone who has been incredibly fortunate."

In his viral thread shared Dec. 10, Carleton, who runs the e-commerce and fulfillment company, derided American employees' entitlement to high-paying jobs despite generally having poor work ethics compared to immigrants.

"The biggest issue America faces isn't a migrant workforce driving down wages. The average migrant worker is creating multiples more in value than the average American. The issue is Americans are being outworked. There's no more honest victory than outworking the other guy," Carleton wrote.

After his post garnered more than 12 million views, Carleton posted a follow-up thread defending his initial claims while dispelling several myths and accusations from responders.

"'These immigrants are sucking up social handouts!,' " Carleton wrote, quoting a repeated comment he received. "Not if they work here. We pay too much for them to qualify.

"Also, these people don't want a handout. BELIEVE IT OR NOT during COVID, it paid MORE to stay home. People who qualified to sit at home and do nothing still chose to come to work. What's that say about a person's character?" he prompted.

Despite experts warning that mass deportation will result in labor shortages and economic fallout, Trump remains committed to removing immigrants as soon as he takes office.

Most recently, he said he will build new camps if necessary but added not too many "because I want to get them out, and I don't want them sitting in camp for the next 20 years."
