Please, please, PLEASE raid workplaces. Fining employers has always been the solution, but neither party wants to actually go after them. Do it. Crash the economy, cause mass confusion and fear, destroy the employers. Let's see how that shakes out. I don't know any finer way to cause a massive backfire.
If slaughter houses, chicken/egg farming, fruit picking, packaging, etc. comes screeching to a halt due to these raids then those employers stand to lose a ton of money as the food goes bad while they scramble to try to convince Joe MAGA to come work for them for a fraction of minimum wage.
Exactly. It's the employers that are illegally employing desperate illegals, paying them under the table so they both avoid taxes and pay the workers less than minimum wage.
And the employers that do this are always conservatives and trump supporters. They lose their cheap labor, and get caught breaking the law? I'd love to see it... But I'm not holding my breath.
No my friend, the illegals are paying taxes. At least around here they are. AND they have an "employment" firm that skims $2/hr. straight off the top. And those employees are "illegal".
There's always so much talk during the interim. Last time it took them 3 months to find the doorknobs of the oval office after inauguration day. This will be another high quality production.
They do have Project 2025 as a guideline this time though. So we'll see how that works out, I guess. It's going to be all the true believers who probably don't have any actual management skills, but they'll at least be determined.
"please please please open the concentration camps."
Stop rooting for the worst possible outcomes. Wish for them to fuck up, get blocked and bumble their way into failure at implementing this. Wish for failure not "haha funnies" your way into ethnic cleansing.
See the thing is, the people who are behind the plans are through and through white nationalists. They are true believers, they want all of them gone and don't care about economic consequences or what wealth cares about.
They'll call up the raids before paychecks are supposed to be sent out. Oops guess that was free labor, oh well. We will hire another load of illegal immigrants for next week and maybe not get to pay them too.
Let’s end the hypocrisy of blaming illegal immigrants every societal ill—while benefitting from their cheap and compliant labor—and staying silent about the complicity of employers’ role in the whole process. Raid workplaces. Deport illegal immigrants if that makes you feel better. But, absolutely imprison those business owners for aiding and abetting.
