This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with the Sara Mills discourse analysis method. This research data is in the form of words, sentences or texts whose source of data is in the novel of Migrant Workers' Diary and Xie Xie Ne De Ai. At the data analysis stage, steps are taken: selecting, classifying, analyzing, interpreting the data, and summarizing it. The results of this study indicate that through the relationships that occur between migrant workers and capitalism, migrant workers and employers, and between fellow migrant workers are still positioned as marginal people. TKW is described as having no power. Regarding the author-reader structure, the writer positions the reader with direct and indirect greetings. This greeting serves to place the reader as part of the text, so that they will be concerned about the problems of the migrant workers. The conclusion is that the two novels still represent TKW discourse in line with the dominant discourse.
