    I’m waiting for those workplaces to get fined or sanctioned… still waiting. Hmmm, I wonder why corporations, who are people by law, aren’t being targeted in the same way as humans for the same crime.

    When they did this at my wife’s work back on 2017, the guy they took wasn’t deported because he paid a couple thousand dollar fine. The employer who illegally hired him paid nothing.

    I hope you’re happy with all those campaign contributions, corporate America. Especially those of you in the restaurant industry.

      Restaurant, agriculture, construction, landscaping, etc. I’m assuming it’ll be any of

      1. Prices skyrocketing
      2. Industries collapsing
      3. Money under tables and “officials” looking the other way

      Probably all 3 though, in that order.

      How about farm workers … I’m up in Canada and I know because I’ve seen entire farm communities in southern Ontario base their entire business on immigrant labor that was either legal, illegal and everything in between. Around Norfolk (a region southwest of Toronto), entire towns are filled with Mexican, Haitian, Dominican and more recently, African workers as labor for the planting, management and harvest.

      We all have cheap vegetables in North America because of cheap immigrant labor that our governments allow into the country to work (for little to no money) but not to stay.

        Farm workers will definitely be another one. And farms are massive corporate businesses now overall. The age of the small farmer is mostly over.

        This actually happened in Georgia a few years ago when they got more draconian on undocumented immigrants. Crops were withering in the fields.
