New Quota of Rounding Up 3,000 Illegals Per Day

When the previous administration deliberately flooded the country with 20 MILLION illegal immigrants, identifying and removing 3000 a day doesnt seem inappropriate.
 
Hmm… what’s the “off season” for “meat packing plants”?
There isn’t one afaik. Nor for service workers. But all the ag workers do. And as they would be contributing members of society under a guest worker program in whatever sector they would be employed in they would no longer be a burden to the rest of us. They would be paying their fair share. Helping us to pay the taxes the rich won’t pay.

Guest worker (visa) programs exist, but could be expanded. There are concerns about potential exploitation of workers, wage suppression, and negative impacts on domestic workers who may face competition for jobs.

Making them legal also puts them under the same worker protections the rest of us enjoy. OSHA, minimum wages, etc.

As of now they can’t complain and their employers like it that way.

But a really hard thing to actually accomplish without making many mistakes.

But better a thousand innocent men go to a foreign concentration camp than one immigrant escape deportation, right? Gotta break a few eggs, right?

FFS. The Founders are looking down on yall and shaking their heads in disbelief.

Why not ‘prevailing wages’, akin to the Davis-Bacon Act? IMHO, what (some) employers like is the lack of an adequately enforced eVerify mandate.

Disbelief and disgust. MAGAs are doing everything they can to make the country unrecognizable to The Founders.

It’s what they made all those donations for. The GOP has always blocked e-verify. It’s one of the ways one can tell they’re talking out of both sides of their neck.

“Those illegals are tearing our country apart! Send them all to the gulag!”

“So how is progress going toward deporting all the undocumented farm workers?”

“Shut your damn commie mouth!”
 
And I didn’t stutter.

Y’all can’t think for yourselves

So you can only pick something out of what we post and claim we mean something we do not.

A guest worker program allows us to reap the benefits of their labor while reducing the costs. They’ll make real wages, pay taxes, go home in the off season, like they used to before Reagan’s amnesty.
the 12 million or more illegally here in the USA - what guest program are they working under ?

You know all those Republican farm owners and meat packing plants don’t pay the usual labor burden. That is why they have opposed guest worker programs and e-verify. Why Republican administrations have never gone after those employers. They certainly know who and where they are.

Now check you list of approved responses and come back with some other non-response.

can you show me where Obama "went after" employers? Biden ? That's 12 of the last 16 years of presidents/administrations .... 75% .... what have they done ?

Ahh yeah! The good old whatabout.

Obama and Biden weren’t saying one thing and doing another, which is what the GOP has been doing forever. And Obama deported a grip of the undocumented.

its a comparison - 75% of the last 16 years what did Democrat do to stop illegals from pouring into the USA ?

nothing and in fact (and especially Biden) they aided it, encouraged it, helped it

which is why I'm saying Democrats/liberals love the human trafficking, the sex/drug/child abuse, adding millions of poverty level people ...... if they didn't like all that, if they don't want that slave labor ........... then why didn't they ever do anything to stop it ?


Trump is doing it, right now .... Democrats only have to side with him vs fighting him and we could have a country with secure borders and no illegally here people

You do realize this is just the same vapid argument you’ve been making.

Can you provide a single instance of republicans trying to pass a bill addressing mass employers in the agriculture sector? Or any at any time since Reagan’s amnesty?

If you can’t then you need to stop trying to recycle the same points over and over again. The hypocrisy is all on y’alls side. Your politicians talk a mad shit about the undocumented problem but never ever ever address the supply side of the equation. And as supply side solutions are their favorite, it’s just further proof they’re just using the issue to get racist incompetents to vote for them.

I don't think it is the GOP who has made E-Verify inconvenient and a liability for employers to use in my state.

Of course you don’t. It’s not a cruel solution.

Why is jackboots in the street to deport fry cooks is a-ok but figuring out how to make a primary tool to address the supply side of this issue function properly is way too hard.

You can’t provide a single bill put forward by the GOP to address the mass employers of the undocumented because there isn’t one.

now compare to Biden


Biden Dismantles the Ban on Hiring Illegal Immigrants​

But I can point to this law- championed by Democrats- that makes it difficult and somewhat of a liability for employers to use E-Verify to comply with not hiring illegals.

Keeping an underclass of people to work jobs that are difficult, low paying, etc. is a bi-partisan thing.

Nope. The House passed H.R. 2 (which includes an eVerify mandate) in May 2023.


“Those illegals are tearing our country apart! Send them all to the gulag!”

“So how is progress going toward deporting all the undocumented farm workers?”

“Shut your damn commie mouth!”

IIRC, an eVerify mandate (without the FIT code change) was part of H.R. 2 (border security bill) which passed in the House, but died in the Senate.



I’d prefer having the eVerify mandate, coupled with an FIT code change, which leaves out the possibility (probability?) for ‘prosecutorial discretion’.
I stand corrected on this. It happened after the last time I looked at the issue.

It I was reminded that prominent republicans did oppose the employer sanctions.

Also that trump di hit a couple of employers. But only three apparently. Which makes it look like it might have just been getting rid of a favorite donor’s competition. I would have to search but I have previously found examples of one place getting hit and another competitor nearby being ignored.

Still doesn’t counter the premise that ICE could meet their quota easily in the Midwest ag belt.

The current emphasis seems to be on deporting those with criminal records, re-entry after deportation, existing removal orders and others they find while trying to locate them.
 
Maybe it's me but Steven Miller is the scariest man in America or what used to be America. He is to Trump what Eichman was to Hitler.

This. I hope at the end of this, there's a crime he can be charged with.
