It is right on the Mexican border. I wonder how easy it is to get to from that side and how complicit the Mexican authorities are.
I wonder how complicit the Texan authorities are.
This issue is bullshit because they could easily stop the problem by absolute liabillity prosecuting any and all employers who hire and obtain labor from workers that are not legally allowed to be in the country AND/OR work.
It would stop very quickly and anyone else looking at coming for work would realize its not worth it and find other opportunities elsewhere. The liabillity as it stands seems to always be shouldered by the workers themselves and never the rich employers so its a bullshit issue they dont want to fix and have no intention of addressing the root cause.
Pretty sure they could go to any Trump property and do a sweep and catch at least 1 person who was knowingly hired for cheaper wages and shitty employment terms by the Boss himself
