This is what is supposed to happen. This is what the law says is required to happen. The business owners had a cushy four years under Biden, but, things might be about to get rough. Three weeks ago the Washington Post noted that employers are mostly avoiding charges. Well, now
ICE head says agency to crack down on American companies hiring unauthorized workers
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) acting Director Todd Lyons said in an interview Sunday that his agency will crack down on American companies hiring unauthorized workers.
“Not only are we focused on those individuals that are, you know, working here illegally, we’re focused on these American companies that are actually exploiting these laborers,” Lyons said on CBS News’s “Face the Nation.”
“These people that came here for a better life. You know, either, you know, forced labor, child trafficking, you know, a lot of these work site cases — just isn’t a victimless crime of someone here working illegally,” he added. “And that’s why we’re going there with these criminal warrants to focus on these American businesses that are trying to make an extra dollar on the backs of these people that came here for a better life.”
In the first few months of his second term, President Trump and his administration have heavily cracked down on immigration, drawing criticism from Democrats and advocates.
Yeah, well, they’re going to be complaining more when the federal government arrests them for knowingly employing illegal aliens. But, there have been many examples of employers getting hit, like here, here, here, and here. There could be a whole lot more coming.
I still maintain that we need to go back to a system where people are allowed to come to the US for a period, work in the fields and building homes and stuff, and then go home in under a year. Then they can come back the next season. If they fail to leave they are deported and banned from coming to the US for 5 years. This used to work well. Companies should be responsible for making sure they have healthcare and that they know when they have to leave.
This is long overdue. The illegals are lured here by employment opportunities, and if we can close off that, there will be little draw for them to come here, and the illegals already here will return home on their own.
Lock up a few businessmen over this, and the rest will be tripping over themselves to fall in line.
