Job sites, employers get notice this week of Fed interests in sweeping audits, inspections, and compliance checks.

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, which operates under the jurisdiction of the Department of Homeland Security, this week amped up its scrutiny of immigrant workers in residential construction across the United States.

ICE needs to go to California and crack down on the illegals in commercial construction...like the ones who are illegally working on high speed rail!

"ICE Takes Aim at Construction's Immigrants..."

.... I'm pretty sure ICE is actually targeting Illegals and not Immigrants. Immigrants are here legally.

So I just quit my hellhole of a job last week, but our offices are cleaned daily by a crew of Hispanic ladies. On my last night there, one little old lady was working alone because her co-worker was sick. I felt sorry for her and helped her remove some heavy wooden pallets. As I tried talking to her, it became apparent that she knew pretty much no English at all. WTF??!!? How do they get jobs in the first place? And how do we stop it?

Long overdue, this type of enforcement ended early in the George W. Bush administration.

Glad that they are grabbing the illegals but what needs to happen is any company who hires them should be find out of business and the owner(s) put in prison. It wouldn’t take too many of them for the rest to get the message and put an end to the problem.

Start arresting and punishing the owners and executives of businesses that hire illegals and you’ll see a dramatic improvement in the situation.

If Trump and company REALLY want to make the Sanctuary City bunch pay a price, simply have ICE show up at restaurants, construction sites, and farms, without warning - and DEMAND PAPERS.

...and then make it PERFECTLY CLEAR as to why those locations were chosen.

Perfect, and long overdue.

One industry at a time.

Construction is the very best place to start. They really ARE taking middle class American jobs there.

And nearly every General Contractor is criminally negligent, at least. If there’s a problem with getting a good I-9, they just 1099 them, or pay cash.

General contractors today ALL have a safe and multiple thousands in cash. All of them...at least out here in the West.

General Contractors hire sub-contractors. Subs hire independent Contractors.

There are at least 11 apartment complexes of over 200 units each in a 2 mile stretch along the E-W street near me in a gentryfying area going from working poor Black to College educated Black and white. (over 10,000 new voters in my St Rep District from 2016 to 2020.)

I will bet that not a single employee of the General Contractor has been on any of these construction sites, nor on the 2 big and many small commercial strips going up.

The workers are a mix of white, Black, legal Hispanic and illegal Hispanic. I will bet that the sub-contractor bosses are telling their good workers to bring any new bodies that would be good workers. I will bet that the Hispanics, both legal and illegal, are bringing their inlaws, cousins, etc and coaching fast food workers on how to appear experienced in construction, which pays far bettter.

I will bet that no white or Black worker is bringing any friends or family to be additional workers on these sites.

I will bet that the number of non-Hispanic new applicants for construction jobs anywhere in Metro Atlanta is under 100.

The 11 apartment sites in my area are competing with construction sites all over metro Atlanta. It will only get worse this summer and fall. A major housing project will start 200 ft West of me. It will probably be 10,000 units alone, plus small retail shops.

But this isn’t about all whites and Blacks being losers. In the older houses around me, both whites and Blacks have attended these seminars on how to flip houses. They are buying up and flipping houses like crazy. The small operators with little capital are flipping immediately to the larger speculators to get the small immediate cash which they can leverage into more deals in the future. Prices are increasing rapidly.

So some whites and Blacks are being very successful capitalists, not workers.

This is also the area which went 85% plus for Clinton and 3 months later went 55% and 65% for the Republican for mayor.

Is your point that we should not imprison the lot of them?

After we seize their assets?
