    I find it funny that corporations can openly talk about hiring illegal immigrants and nobody cares… Like isn’t that also illegal?

    I bet if the government made hiring an illegal immigrant a felony and the owner of the company would face jail time, then things would change very quickly.

      Everyone blames the immigrant for their troubles, not the industries that hire immigrants for cheap despite it being illegal. Capitalism and racism are the backbone of America.

        YES—I’ve been saying this for years! If any politician actually believed any of the bullshit they say about illegal immigrants stealing jobs and ruining industries, they could instantly stop it by placing heavy fines on employers who are caught hiring them. There is no penalty big enough to block out the giant glowing neon “help wanted!” sign on the US side of its southern border. Politicians would rather spend millions breaking up families, and imprisoning children than slap a fat fine on some construction and agriculture companies.
