Immigration Enforcement Raids Six States

U.S. immigration authorities arrested hundreds of undocumented immigrants in at least a half-dozen states this week in a series of raids that marked the first large-scale enforcement of President Trump’s Jan. 25 order to crack down on the estimated 11 million immigrants living here illegally.


Officials said the raids targeted known criminals, but they also netted some immigrants without criminal records, an apparent departure from similar enforcement waves during the Obama administration. Last month, Trump substantially broadened the scope of who the Department of Homeland Security can target to include those with minor offenses or no convictions at all.

Trump has pledged to deport as many as 3 million undocumented immigrants with criminal records.

Immigration officials confirmed that agents this week raided homes and workplaces in Atlanta, Chicago, New York, the Los Angeles area, North Carolina and South Carolina, netting hundreds of people.

Even funnier are the Trump voters in California who voted to destroy their own businesses

Bonus round - there will be lots of jobs openings in CA for unemployed Trump voters across the country so put down the crack pipe and come to CA and you can now spend 12 hours a day picking lettuce

Just saw a story on the news.  A lady here for 22 years, got caught with a fake SSN so they sent her back and now they're protesting?  Fuck that.  I believe Bush gave illegals a one time opportunity to register and after 22 years if she never did and was sporting a fake SSN she shouldn't just be deported but should be in jail

There are plenty of legal Mexicans, Blacks, and Whites that can do these jobs.  These criminals weren't out in the fields picking lettuce. They were involved in more lucrative illegal activities.

Pretty obvious you didn't bother to read the link.  Either that or you somehow know theses farmers businesses better than they do (which of course is a common occurrence on GB.com).

The 'cheap lettuce' argument is the worst point ever.  It's a birkenstocks nazi position.

The US is to blame for not enforcing it's own laws for decades and now the country needs to take its medicine.  Everyone who's in gets to stay and be legal.  

Then put up a wall with automated machine guns and, because we don't have to be mean about it, plenty of warning signs.  The first group won't believe it but the rest sure will.








Come at me.

Mr. Trump’s immigration policies could transform California’s Central Valley, a stretch of lowlands that extends from Sacramento to Bakersfield. Approximately 70 percent of all farmworkers here are living in the United States illegally, according to researchers at University of California, Davis. The impact could reverberate throughout the valley’s precarious economy, where agriculture is by far the largest industry. With 6.5 million people living in the valley, the fields in this state bring in $35 billion a year and provide more of the nation’s food than any other state.

The consequences of a smaller immigrant work force would ripple not just through the orchards and dairies, but also to locally owned businesses, restaurants, schools and even seemingly unrelated industries, like the insurance market.

Mr. McClarty is not just concerned about his business, but also about his work force, he said. Many of them have worked for him year-round for more than a decade, making at least $11 an hour. After immigration officials audited his employee records a few years ago, he was forced to let go of dozens of employees.

The supply of labor to the agricultural industry will decline causing wages and the cost of produce to increase.  It will affect all farmers equally and therefore none of them will go out of business.  in the end the consumer will pay more for produce.  It's not the end of the world.

Force people on welfare to work the farms or whatever jobs illegals were doing if nobody wants them

fuck yeah dingus

I assume all the unemployed Trump supporters are on their way to CA to snatch up these sweet migrant farm worker jobs

should the white Trump supporters who show up get those jobs first or should it just be first come first served?

forced labor?

ok, I'll hear you out (I'm assume you've given this premise some thought)

do you have some more parameters or does this apply to everyone on welfare?

what if there are no farms nearby?

what other jobs should we force people to do?

maybe Trump's base doesn't eat a lot of lettuce or, say, Mexican avocados for that matter?
