You mean that American's do need jobs? This ends up helping the black communities around Mississippi that desperately need jobs. If you've been to a lot of the south you know what I mean. Towns are broke and run down. You dipshits won't mention this though.

America has spent so long shielding employers and targeting employees that this post is almost absurdity. I'm all for Americans getting priority for any in country employment, and punitive measures against employers who skirt the system (or outright defraud our government). People come here because they know there's work, and that employers will ignore immigration law if it means a bigger profit margin.
 
Who wants to bet that after a short while the folks who got arrested will be replaced with folks just like them and will work for even cheaper pay. And who's to say that many of those that got arrested will in one way or another get their jobs back because that company, like any other in the nation, values their experienced employees over any newbie walking in through the back door.

edit - Let's not forget that this was for no other reason, a show put on by the Trump admin.

So many of these "free loading" immigrants that are a leach on society are being arrested while at work.
That's.... ironic.

I like Mexican people. Usually hardworking honest people. Having said that there is a big problem whenever they shack up and the woman claims food stamps Medicaid and whatever else they can get while the man makes a good wage. It happens all the time.

So you're problem is couples that aren't legally married, and the mom stays at home? And that in your experience, this happens "whenever" they "shack up", as in you have some type of evidence that shows this is 100% guarantee?

They aren't married aka he's not claiming legal and financial responsibility. I could give two fucks if they are married or not.

I agree. Start fining the hell out of the employers and it stops. Probably fixes the illegal immigration problem as well.

Fines wouldn't work because the fines wouldn't outweigh the savings, jail the employer and things will change.

And there's part of the problem with "corporations are persons." You can jail individual people who work for a corporation...but you can't jail the corporation.

Entirely possible, gotta start somewhere though.

I'm sure we could come up with some course of action to hold the literal people running the corporation responsible.

How? XYZ Corp. hires 1000 illegal immigrants. When ICE raids and arrests the factory foreman, he points to HR and says, " I just work with what they send me...so, they arrest all the HR staff...who points at corporate management and say," we hire the people they instruct us to hire...with the documents they have provided without looking very closely...per management instructions," and, of course, management skirts responsibility by claiming they have instructed everyone to verify the documents and report up the line anyone they have more than a reasonable suspicion of being illegal.
