Trump's approach to mass deportations of illegals is impotent, here's a tip for success.

I have no issue with Trump having a crack team of ICE agents working with the FBI to track down known illegal alien criminals, particularly those involved in violent crimes and with connections to the various Central and South America cartels.

But If Trump really wants to make a serious dent in removing millions of illegals from the US he needs to fine every business who is caught employing illegals $100k for each offense, along with cutting off all social services/government money to every person who is in the US illegally. I don't want to hear those defending businesses who employ illegal immigrants, saying how does a small business know if the person they are hiring is illegal? I guess the first clue is they can't read or speak English and take it from there.

Here's the cover that allows US companies to employ illegal immigrants and still say they are complying with US employment laws.....from Google AI,

quote:

U.S. companies must legally verify that all new hires, including U.S. citizens, are authorized to work in the U.S. by completing the Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, which confirms identity and work eligibility, but they cannot ask if someone is a citizen or demand specific documents like a U.S. passport to avoid discrimination. Employers must accept any valid, unexpired document from the I-9 Lists of Acceptable Documents that appears genuine and relates to the employee

Key Requirements for Employers

Form I-9: All employers must complete this form for every new hire, including citizens, to confirm they are authorized to work in the U.S..

Document Verification: Employers must physically examine original documents provided by the employee (like a driver's license and Social Security card, or a U.S. passport) to ensure they appear genuine and belong to the person presenting them.

No Citizenship Questions Pre-Hire: It's illegal to ask if an applicant is a U.S. citizen before making a job offer; instead, ask if they are legally authorized to work in the U.S..

No Discrimination: Employers must not treat individuals differently or demand specific documents (like a Green Card or passport) based on perceived national origin or citizenship status.

Why This Matters
The Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986 requires this process to prevent the hiring of unauthorized workers, making I-9 compliance a critical responsibility for all businesses to avoid civil and criminal penalties.


What does this really mean?

It means the illegal can get a drivers license, a SSN and then simply lie about being legal to work in the US and the employer and the illegal immigrant wink at each other.

It is an extremely impotent issue for conservatives. We've been pushing this policy for decades so it's impotent that Trump sticks to his promises and continues to carry out this policy. It's impotent for JD Vance's future run in 2028 if he wants to win that election.

People who don’t support how Trump is doing deportations hate black people.

Trump will target US employers in next phase of immigration crackdown, Homan says

and from AI

quote:

Yes, based on recent reports, President Trump's administration is expanding immigration enforcement to include targeting employers who hire undocumented immigrants (often referred to as "illegal aliens" in some contexts). While the primary focus has been on mass deportations, border security, and detaining immigrants, there are clear indications of increased scrutiny on businesses through workplace raids, audits, and policy changes. Here's a breakdown:


quote:

Policies like imposing a $100,000 fee on H-1B visa petitions (for high-skilled workers) effectively target employers by making it costlier to hire foreign talent, even legally. While this applies to legal immigration, it's part of a broader effort to prioritize American workers and reduce overall foreign employment


quote:

mmigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is expected to ramp up I-9 audits (verifying employee work eligibility) and workplace raids, though no specific executive order solely targets employers yet. Employers are advised to prepare for heightened scrutiny of their workforce.

They should be able to request a birth certificate for the I–9 and that would end this mischief.

Reminds me of the old joke about the black guy who wore a suit and tie to his vasectomy. "If I'm gonna be impotent I'm gonna look impotent!"

I 100% support the deportation of all illegals form the US. I want to see the number of illegals leaving and being deported from the US hit 2-3 million/year.

I don't know how easy it is for Trump and the federal government to go after businesses in the first place, i.e. I'm not a lawyer but it may be possible that a lot of the legality is handled at the state level, and you don't need to look past Minnesota or California to know that many states won't do a damn thing about the problem of businesses employing illegals.

So, going after the illegals themselves (rather than the source) might just be the easier way to do it, and it's a method that the federal government has the authority, ability, and power to enforce. It's probably also a whole lot easier from a legal standpoint to go about it this way as well (i.e. grabbing and deporting the illegals) - not including the libshit federal judges who always try to block everything, but that's easier to manage than 50 states' worth of legal BS.

Without a source of cheap, illegal labor, hopefully the problem of businesses using them will then sort itself out without much legal action, but that can then certainly still happen after the spigot is shut off...
