#1 Start raiding the fucking EMPLOYERS of these illegal aliens.
I want to hear: ICE raid at office park, 32 arrested with perp walks in suits and ties.
Do that and the illegal alien problem solves itself. Then traitorous shitheads are terrified to employ illegal aliens, that's it.

#2 The Trump Effect: Remittances to Mexico Continue Plunging as ICE Raids Soar Across U.S.

The plummet in remittances to Mexico comes before Trump’s one percent remittance tax takes effect in January of next year. Initially, the tax was supposed to be set at 3.5 percent, but was quickly slashed by Senate Republicans to just one percent with huge carveouts.

One of those carveouts, where foreign nationals seeking to send remittances to their home countries will be spared from the tax if they have a relationship with the bank they are wiring the money through, will protect much of Western Union’s grip on the remittance market.


More effective to break the money changers.

#3 Typically, the people being grabbed at Home Depot and similar places are not employees of the store, but are day laborers who congregate there in hopes of picking up some off-the-books work. Who needs forms when there is work to be done!

Food processing plants are another story. There you have payrolls and taxes and E-Verify which, if actually used, can verify identity and immigration status.

#4 Food processing plants are another story.

In many cases, the documents show that 50-60 people live at the same address.

HR doesn't figure that out for some reason, though.

#5 I'm no legal expert but I'm thinking ICE can claim probable cause in this case because it is a well known fact that illegal aliens are looking for work in Home Depot parking lots. So when they congregate around a Penske truck because the driver is offering work it's highly likely that they are illegal aliens. That, in my mind, is probable cause to be suspicious of them. When they see ICE agents and run that makes them even more suspicious. They're busted. And then there's the chilling effect on other illegals who look for work at Home Depot parking lots because they never know when the guy who is offering work is an ICE agent. Maybe they'll get chilled enough to go back to their country of origin.

#6 Yeah, and LA Mayor Karen Bass can shut the fuck up.

Remove the incentive of reward when they can't send cash back home via wire transfers and banking.

#8 How about the ones in subsidized housing on SNAP and Medicaid?

#9  ^ Yeah. We have enough of our own deadbeats. We don't need them coming here from other countries to take advantage of our generosity.

#10 They aren't deadbeats around here. Mex do long hours of hard work in the heat, 103 today.

Drive past a house you wouldn't keep horses in. There'll be 6-8 pickups parked overnight.
Whorehouse or bunkhouse they're paying somebody rent for a shower.

#11 The ones that do construction work, maids or jobs like that mostly bust their asses. I'm glad they do good work, but it still doesn't change the fact they are here illegally and diluting your vote and representation as they are counted towards electoral votes and congressional districts even though they can't vote themselves.

If we need them to fill a job need, I would be for putting them at the first in line to apply IN THEIR HOME COUNTRIES and NOT counted towards the population of the state.
