After a record 680 suspected undocumented workers were arrested during a series of raids in Mississippi last week, Trump administration immigration officials seem unable to answer one question from reporters: What happens to the businesses owners who hire undocumented immigrants in the first place?
They are very âCageyâ when it comes to putting children in cages tooâŚ
Yeah, âCageyâ here means at least âConflictedâ, if not âComplicitâ.
âIâm not really prepared to speak to that,â Cuccinelli responded. âI donât think so. The President does those [commutations] one person at a time.â
ââŚand generally only after their deposit checks clear.â
Trump Officials Are Cagey On Punishing Employers Of Undocumented Immigrants
Of course they are: even if Hair Fuhrer isnât concerned about another article of impeachment (and post retirement indictment,) Iâm sure he doesnât want to give his cabinet members and donors another reason to whine about how âunfairâ it all is.
Itâs obvious what happened here; the undocumented employees each tricked the employer into thinking they were your average Joe and Jane USA-born worker. Probably ought to prosecute them all for fraud too, then. And that employer should receive a healthy government bailout for having to suffer the consequences of Obamaâs broken immigration system.
Donât worry, theyâll self-report.
âDid that decision to grant a prison commutation to this man send the wrong message to employers?â the reporter asked Monday.
âIâm not really prepared to speak to that,â Cuccinelli responded. âI donât think so. The President does those [commutations] one person at a time.â
After the bribe is paid.
Take note, Democrats. This is a big reason why people cross the border or, after asking for asylum, (used to) âdisappearâ into American society. Start talking about how the âimmigration problemâ is caused by R-voting employers who rarely face the law.
In the meantime, of course, theyâre happy that other Râs (or they themselves, in Trumpâs case) demonize and otherize the people crossing the border. The old saying âthey work hard because they work scaredâ is confirmedâand Râs are happy to make them even more scared. The employer can drop a dime and get them deported, or steal their pay. And now some crazy Trump-lover will shoot them.
It works perfectly for them.
So Dems, when you (understandably!) protest this brutality, you are playing into the narrative that it is your kindness and humanity that is the cause of immigration/ asylum-seeking. Itâs not, but those hypocrite R business owners, like Trump, are. Start saying this!!
â680 suspected undocumented workers were arrested during a series of raids in MississippiâŚâ
Wait a minute â there were actually 680 people in Mississippi with jobs?
The entire undocumented worker problem would disappear if no one hired themâŚwell, youâd have some forged documents, but thatâs a minor issue that can be rectified easily. The fact is that employers take advantage of undocumented workers, because they can abuse them without worrying about being reported, give them lower wages, no health care, all kinds of things. Itâs the entire point they hire them, same reason business move operations overseasâŚitâs in the pursuit of profit above all else.
Punish them severely, and there wonât be a reason to hire anyone who isnât here as a legal resident (this should include guest worker programs and other improvements to immigration as well). It wonât happen, business owners contribute to Republicans to make sure that the non-whites they hire get caught and tossed, while they just hire the next batch, all while skating on breaking the law. It just goes to show that Trump is only doing this to enrage his racist base, itâs not at all about immigration reform or capturing people who shouldnât be here that are a danger to the nation.
Use them, throw them away, rinse, repeat.
But but but the employers are white, wealthy and more than willing to send the relevant PACs a hefty donation for Trumpâs reelection once theyâve been raided like thisâŚ
Yeah, notice how they werenât white MississipiansâŚ
too busy with the militia LARP and homemade meth labs to take a job I suppose. Itâs hard being a dedicated patriot.
The answer is that theyâre going to promote the owners. After all, these people are making it very easy for ICE to do their job when they get to round everyone up from one location. They know theyâve got a good thing going to be able to get rid of so many people at once.
Yup. Dozens of raids, and not one Sheldon Adelson casio touched. Not one Trump property touched.
Nothing suspicious about that. Media should have been calling this out for years. If you want to stop immigration, you stop the available jobs. Immigrants arenât stupid. They go to where the jobs are and to where people will hire them without paperwork.
But I guess raiding Adelsonâs casino and perp-walking the HR Manager in front of the cameras doesnât have the same effect as the Squeal Team 6 photo-ops at the border.
The stench spreads.
And, of course, they wouldnât want to go after some employers and not after the big guy himself, for all of the undocumented people his businesses have hired.
I see the Cooch has learned the unsubtle art of kicking the can down the road whenever any awkward situation arises. Wasnât it about a two-week process to produce Melaniaâs undoubtedly pristine paperwork for her own immigration? You just wait till the fuss blows over and no problemo.
Why would they raid employers who donât need some special convincing that maybe they should be donating to Trumpâs PACs and campaign?
I get most pissed off when the employers themselves call ICE in to raid right before the end of season payday. No penalty for the employer, work all summer into harvest, then lose your âfull seasonâ bonus and that weekâs pay as well.
