Federal deportation officers staged one of the biggest enforcement actions in years against businesses in Los Angeles this week, arresting 212 people and serving audit notices to 122 businesses who will have to prove they aren’t hiring illegal immigrants.

Nearly all of those arrested were convicted criminals, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

ICE said it targeted Los Angeles because it’s a sanctuary city, meaning it refuses to fully cooperate with federal authorities on deportations from within its jails.

That means agents and officers have to go out into the community, said Thomas D. Homan, the agency’s deputy director.


Fewer jail arrests mean more arrests on the street, and that also requires more resources, which is why we are forced to send additional resources to those areas to meet operational needs and officer safety,” Mr. Homan said. “Consistent with our public safety mission, 88 percent of those arrested during this operation were convicted criminals.”

Where are the arrests of the business owners? Where are the raids at purdue, tyson, smithfield, or trump properties? Christ you can pick up 212 illegals in a couple home depot parking lots any day of the week without breaking a sweat.

Just more kabuki theatre for the base from people who talk about removing the illegals but don't want them gone at all. Bread and circus. Works every time.

122 businesses were told by ICE to produce documents. What do you think will happen when they can't? Process Fees at a minimum.

212 illegals out of 22 millions in Los Angeles?
6   anonymous   2018 Feb 16, 8:50pm  

What was it, 6 months ago? Blue team was shouting "told you, trump isn't doing do anything about illegal labor, ". Now it's, "he's not going after management".

Any wagers on if some company pays a fine... or someone does time?

Good question.

The real solution is the imprisonment of business owners who undercut US wages and labor law by employing illegal aliens.

Not fines, always imprisonment.

Only 12.5 million to go. Too bad Trump and the republicans aren't man enough to kick out the wet dreamers. They are caving in like little bitches.

Patrick,

a 100K fine per illegal would go a long way towards decreasing budget deficit and enforcing the existing laws. However, it will never happen as Big Business which has both R and D in its pockets is interested in cheap illegal labor. Arrest 212 and deport...2121 will jump over wall the same day. There will be only token arrests to satisfy Trump's electorate (see! we are doing something!vote for us next time!) while in reality nothing will change.

I'm sure they will get a slap on the wrist. Maybe. No mention of which businesses I notice. Some small mom and pop operations will be hassled for the sake of yet another grandiose press release.

I agree with you, mostly.

We are under the mistaken impression that we live in a democracy. We do not. Our laws are made (or just as bad, our laws are ignored) purely to reward wealthy campaign donors with extra profits at the expense of the wages of ordinary working people. https://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/princeton-experts-say-us-no-longer-democracy
I do believe Trump is at least trying to do the right thing. Maybe most other Republicans are cynically pretending to help US workers while actually selling them out, but so far I still think Trump is on the side of the American people.

Who are the largest employers of illegal aliens?

Let's name names.

Tyson?

Hiring illegal immigrants can lead to many severe penalties, such as:

Criminal and civil fines
Loss of business licenses
Most fines are broken down to the following:

First offenders can be fined $250-$2,000 per illegal employee.
For a second offense, the fine is $2,000-$5,000 per illegal employee.
Three or more offenses can cost an employer $3000-$10,000 per illegal employee.

Lol, those are not severe penalties. They are jokes, very easily paid with the money saved by not employing legitimate Americans. A real penalty would be mandatory hard time in prison.

Mandate repeal, tax reform, decline of ISIS, increase in US manufacturing, end of TPP, record stock market, letting ICE actually enforce US law (I personally know a guy who worked for them). Pretty consistently acted on what he said he would do.

And the entertainment value of the conniptions in the media when Trump won in spite of (or exactly because of) their irrational hatred for him.

And yes, just not being Hillary. Perhaps the greatest gift of all.

E-Verify.

From what I've heard, E-Verify is very effective and that's why employers do not use it.

The problem is that E-Verify is completely optional for employers, so anyone who wants to employ illegal aliens to undercut US wages and labor laws is not going to touch it.

It needs to be made mandatory.

I'm sure it's on the top of trumps and all of the corporate donor;s list of legislative priorities . I'm positive that trump properties requires e-verify for everyone working there, including sub contracters workers.

You do know there is no time limit on employers correcting ss number mismatches (aka fake numbers) don't you? The requirement is reasonable. Since ss has 120 days to respond to inquiry's that makes the minimum 120 days before an employer has to do anything at all. Plenty of time to come up with another fake number or for seasonal work to end. I'm sure fixing this and getting all those illegals out of good american jobs like processing meat/fish and picking fruit/veggies is also top of the trump/republican/corporate wish list.

Wages for small business employees reporting they are raising wages at the fastest rate since 2000.
http://money.cnn.com/2018/02/13/news/economy/small-business-nfib/index.html

The pressure is on. Here come the real wage gains, esp. for the bottom 20%, that we ought to have had for many years. No more gaming the labor market with illegals.

Big Dem Donors and the NeverTrumpers are screaming bloody murder. "We're entitled to permalow wages!"

How many less illegals are here than when trump took office?

Unemployment is the lowest since 2000. Maybe there is a correlation some how? Na, that's just silly. Paying people more when competition for labor is tight. That has never happened before.

Wow, that's something I did not know. I thought E-Verify was a proposed system that didn't currently exist.

Yep, I agree. Either mandate the use of E-Verify for every single hire or fine the fuck out of any employer that doesn't use it and it turns out you hired an illegal.

Question: what does it cost to use E-Verify?

How would you determine this? They aren’t exactly checking in. Maybe you missed the bit about them being “illegal.”

It's free. And it should replace the I-9 Form and be mandatory.

Romney, McCain, Pelosi, and Durbin won't allow that though.

Neither will ever happen. There is way too much corporate lobbying money being spent to prevent it. All on republicans that keep claiming they want to crack down on illegals. And their voter base actually believes them. Amazing.

I agree. Under the current bidding system for control over Congressmen (aka "campaign donations"), those who make boatloads of money by undercutting US wages with illegals can easily outbid the poor folks who have to suffer lower wages personally.

The way the number of illegals has been determined every time someone wants a political talking point. If enough had left to substantially affect the wage market it would be pretty obvious. Didn't happen. Less people have been deported under trump than obama. Only 80,000 people that were already living here were deported last year. Not all of them were working. Do you suppose that was enough to affect wages in a labor market of 125 million people?

Can you say campaign contributions? Money talks.

Brainwashing works. Just read all the posts here from people who believe the republicans are actually going to do something about illegals.
