Donald Trump border czar: Workplace immigration raids will be conducted
Incoming “border czar” Tom Homan said Monday that President-elect Trump’s administration will crank up workplace raids as part of its broader immigration crackdown. Speaking on “F…
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.
They might raid workplaces, but I doubt the outcome will be to fine employers. Those are the job creators!
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.
Let me finish that sentence for you
...at places and areas that don't bow down to Trump.
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.
Surely hell be deporting any illegal staff working at mar-a-lago and replace them with w2 employees.
What are the odds that these raids don’t prioritize all the red agricultural areas that rely on migrants for work?
Those areas are littered with Trump signs, but this policy would nuke their workforces.
Even in the blue states, the agricultural areas are pretty red.
I wonder what giants like Tyson think about this plan?
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.
Probably giddy that they'll be able to become even more of a monopoly.
Bingo. This is the plot.
It's so easy to solve the problem. Massively punish the employers. But of course that's not the point, and that certainly will never be the answer.
Actually I'm not convinced it is a problem, but if you think it is, that's the obvious solution that will never happen.
they're giving the bigger illegal employers plenty of heads-up so they can muster up their big bribe payments and swear their fealty...
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.
They contributed like $90b to Medicare and SS in 2022, but the right doesn't talk about that part.
Trump will be great for the economy!
Trump: crashes economy
surprised pikachu face
That's Biden and the Democrats fault obviously, they set it up to fail and make trump look bad.
Yeah, pretty much.
They are trying so hard to bring back slavery
They better be ready to pay for the downtime...
Damn straight! Maybe they'll actually start paying a fair wage! And boo hoo to anyone who refuses to do their own lawncare. It is not hard.
For a lot of small to medium companies they'll probably just go out of business.
The chamber of commerce meetings are going to be a lot smaller.
If you can't pay a fair wage, you don't deserve to be in business.
Now now. This is a playground for bribery. You know it will be about friends and payoffs.
