    What never ceases to amaze me is that people hiring undocumented workers aren’t getting in major legal trouble, and that they straight up admit they were doing it publicly.

    Assuming the mindset that we need to get rid of the big scary immigrants, how are the people hiring them not equally culpable?

      Hey now, logic has no place here. You’re also forgetting the foundational principle of our criminal justice system. It’s not illegal if you have money and your motivation was greed.

        Also, you can’t punish individuals when a whole company does crimes, because you can’t hold companies accountable.

        Unless the company harms the wealthy, then some scapegoats might suffer some consequences.
