“Did that decision to grant a prison commutation to this man send the wrong message to employers?” the reporter asked Monday.
“I’m not really prepared to speak to that,” Cuccinelli responded.

Sooner or later, the entire US agribusiness is going to collapse without any of the immigrant employees, since most Americans don’t want to do the hard work of growing and harvesting our food. When we start paying exorbitant costs for our food and start seeing shortages of dairy and meat products, people may think differently about the value of immigrants who are willing to those jobs. And I’m sure the employers are facing losses if they don’t have workers. But in the meantime, there’s so much injustice in penalizing the workers, cheating them of some of their pay, and letting employers off the hook.

We ALL KNOW what will happen to the “owners who hired the undocumented workers”.
They will be shook down by the Trump Campaign for “contributions” and if they make sufficiently large ones, the DOJ will look the other way (and instruct them on the “best way” to hire undocumented workers and “get away with it.”)
If they refuse to “play ball”, they will get the typical pittance of a fine and a finger-shaking “don’t do this again” stern talking to. After all, that is all the law provides for in these cases.

Well, come now, let’s be fair…just like their forefathers, they believe that the actual farming work is for certain other people to be doing.

And acting Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan played the same tune on Sunday when CNN’s Jake Tapper asked if there were any charges against the company owners in Mississippi.
“It is a pending investigation right now,” Morgan said.
Not sure, but I think I detect a patterns here.
Also, will we see something like, “After further in-depth investigation, we could not determine the employers for whom the immigrants were working at the time we apprehended them at their places of employment.”

From what I have read elsewhere, there were outstanding claims for unpaid wages against the employer, and the employer allegedly manufactured the false social security numbers. I can see a situation in which an employer facing potentially major liability based on wage claims would blow the whistle on his own work force. It’s always possible to get new hires and run the same scam. The employer can ‘fess up and be slapped on the wrist and then go on to be touted as a job creator.

If the GOP really wanted to deter people by example the most effective means would be to nail some employers to the wall. But what the GOP really wants is not to end the flow of undocumented workers, but to maximize their oppression, so that they will be ever more marginal and pliable. So they choose to crucify small kids instead of CEOs.

Karl Marx got a lot of things wrong, but he did have one thing really, REALLY correct:
“Capitalism requires a constant, large pool of unemployed/underemployed workers to maintain downward wage-pressure upon the workers with jobs.”

Exactly. And this is one employer people know about because of those claims. This happens far more often than that one case shows. Most don’t have claims against them for unpaid labor as most of the labor can’t bring a claim, and are afraid to let those that can bring one, for fear of exactly this. They hope if no one makes a claim they will get paid at the end of the season. It’s been a standard practice in the Central Valley for a very long time.
