Big Government:
The Department of Homeland Security has dramatically raised worksite enforcement to deter employers from hiring cheap illegal workers.
Since October, the agency’s Homeland Security Investigations unit has checked employment records at 6,093 worksites, up from 1,716 in the prior fiscal year from October 2016 to the end of September 2017. The current pace of checks in 2018 is almost a five-fold increase from the prior year and included 100 stores in the 7-Eleven chain and 77 companies in California.
The agency has made 675 criminal arrests of managers or supervisors, plus 984 administrative arrests of illegals in the last nine months, versus 139 criminal arrests and 172 administrative arrests during the prior 12 months, according to a DHS statement. That is a five-fold increase in criminal arrests and a sixfold increase in administrative arrests.
In 2018, the DHS agency has also conducted several large-scale raids, including a meatpacker in Tennessee, and a meatpacker and landscaping firm in Ohio.
Amid President Donald Trump’s high-pressure economy, the enforcement actions push employers to fire illegals on their staff and to raise wages for Americans. more here
Best way to send them home.
No work and no free sheet.
Let’s cut this “anchor baby” crap now.
No more pregnant wetbacks waddling/wading across the Rio.
“Think of the children !”
This is very good news. Going after the illegal immigration by both going after illegals and those who are enabling them.
Employers trying to save a dime on hourly wages and benefit costs. While other unemployed legal citizens collect unemployment checks. I wonder who is paying for those gaming the system???
Would kicking the employer between the big toes help?
E-Verify now!!!
Too little too late. We need another “Operation Wetback”, a Dwight D. Eisenhower deportation program. The progs would scream of discrimination, the dems would soil themselves over losing their voters, the lawyers would grin thinking of all the money they are going to make and John Q. Public would be thankful for ICE ridding our country of this lawless element that pervades our society.
