Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Fuck that guy, he should go to prison for empolying illegal immigrants.
You see they never jail the owners of these business for the practice. Its all racism it never about American jobs.
They Were there legally
The joke in all this.
The penalty for offering a job illegally is a slap on the wrist. The penalty for accepting a job illegally is imprisonment, torture, transport, and possible death.
Almost as though the fixation on "crime" is a distraction and the cruelty is the point.
I’ve long said that if they wanted to actually stop illegal immigration, stop focusing most of your energy on arresting the immigrants and go after their employers hard. Nail every employer at any scale who uses them to the wall with fines and jail time. The practice will all but stop and almost no one will come illegally anymore because you have to make money to live in this country. It will cost far less long run and will make migrants start funneling through the legal immigration. Then make legal immigration easier so people are paying taxes and contributing to a society that desperately needs more labor. (Not saying they are only targeting illegal immigration here, just stating generally)
See, the funny thing though is that in this specific situation, the workers were legally there. They had gone through the proper channels. They had work permits. This has nothing to do with the law and everything to do with racism, xenophobia, and a power-tripping ICE.
So you're not wrong, but now even the people who are doing it right are getting punished.
I’m sure Trump would have to fine and arrest himself.
I was going to say bold of you to say they were undocumented. checked article. they weren't. maybe there's a little racism going on here too.
No there is not, my point is the mega heads claim they are getting the immigrates out, (they don't care if they have green cards or legal here) because they need to protect jobs. Of course they are all on welfare too. So their no rationale with these fuckers.
And there is being hundreds of businesses mostly meat plants working illegal immigrants and not one manager or owner see a jail cell.
I think you failed to follow theor point. Their point is if undocumented immigrants in general are a threat, why are we not pursuing those that hire these people rather than the undocumented immigrants we are currently arresting?
Republicans do not believe in prevention. Source: guns, immigration, healthcare, transit, education, and so on
