So, Tyson is next right?
Followed by Cargill and Purdue. Kid you not, the corporate owners not the plant managers.
Yeah I would love to see it, but we both know it’s not going to happen. Otherwise the rhetoric would have been focused on them for the last decade instead of on folks just trying to survive and feed their families.
Why would we punish the criminal when the victims are so much more poor?
It would certainly save on costs, just like the Rs say they want to do! Surely they’ll start any day.
Trump hired undocumented immigrants too. His run for president sure is paying off.
Tyson doesn’t hire illegals. Unless they’re children.
Wait until they start arresting farmers for doing the same.
But let me guess, they won’t, because they are Republicans, and that baker was the only Democrat they had found.
It would be nice if small businesses could get a “section 230” kind of protection. We should be able to hire anyone without fear of arrest. They are in the country, they should be able to be hired. It shouldn’t be on the company to check citizenship.
I very much disagree.
The reason business owners hire people who aren’t citizens is because they are cheap labor. Not only are they taking advantage of people who have very little choice in who will hire them and need a job to feed their families, they are not creating jobs that pay a living wage for people who are citizens. If your business model requires slave labor to be successful, then you shouldn’t be in business.
Instead of criminalizing the people just trying to feed their families, criminalize the people who are taking advantage of people in a tough circumstance. It’s not difficult to show that you did your due diligence in trying to assess citizenship.
If the IRS doesn’t complain about discrepancies in a W-2 or I-9 form, they should be good to hire. But the article doesn’t mention the IRS at all. I can only assume they moved pressure from the IRS to ICE so the “right” people get arrested.
