Question why aren’t they arresting employers instead?

You want to see employers of companies arrested so that their businesses are hurt and all employees are affected?

How does that make sense?
 

and sometimes the best intentioned EO have consequences. Like going after migrant farm workers.

They have been - and have been criticized for that too.

I would love to see stronger laws targeting people who employ illegal workers.

I don't think you really know which laws govern the behavior of ICE agents.

Oh but I do. Under law they are required to wear a badge and badge number and if they are detaining or asking questions of someone provide a warrant and identify themselves upon demand they don’t get to say they don’t have to because the law says they do.

Hard to discuss your non-specific anecdotes. Again, I would absolutely welcome stronger laws against such employers.

May be worth keeping in mind that most of the time they don't prosecute anyone in these stings.
 
I think you're in a perfect position to file a lawsuit against the DHS. I'm surprised, with all the complaints against ICE agents that particular complaint has not been made public.

The employers are breaking the law

So we have certain employers breaking the law by hiring certain migrants who are also breaking the law by being in this country illegally.
Pretty soon we're going to see a flood of admissions to law schools where future lawyers are going to make a living just being on both ends of the ideological spectrum.
Someone has to be making a good living defending a Republican Administration while the rabid Leftist lawyers keep filing lawsuits attacking the GOP.

It’s commonly referred to as a penalty for breaking the law.

If you were business oriented you would see the logic of protecting businesses that rely on low-cost labor AND
working toward creating a pathway for those important workers to stay in this country to work, pay taxes, and to keep key businesses solvent.
Go ahead and argue against that clear logic.
 
I’m all for creating a legal pathway forward for these people. Majority of Republicans, not so much.
