That's good and all but call me when it's one of the big ag or construction firms getting raided. They've been running double-digit percentages of illegals in their workforce for years and years.
Calling it now, there's more to it. The demographics of this city are crazy. 90% Hispanic. 36% under 18. Southern tip of Texas. They could probably deport most the city, so what's the specific deal with this bakery? Front for something?
And it's ruining the reputation of many builders because of poor quality.
If you are buying a new home you NEED to get it inspected by someone who is reputable, not some shill for the builder who says it is all ok.
One of the main things that is faulty is seals on windows, roof insulation, and various bathroom issues. You intend to live there for the rest of your life you stand to lose tens of thousands just in costs for compensating with overusing HVAC and losing all that heat and cooling through the poor insulation and seals.
Also worth noting to anyone that doesn't know, but this isn't limited to America. Construction industries around the world use a LOT of immigrant labour, both legal and illegal. It would be rare to walk onto a job site and not hear at least one foreign language being spoken. Here in Australia, it's most likely going to be either Arabic or Chinese, but that's only because most of our illegal immigration is overstayed visas, not illegal border entry.
Swedes have to have their 2 year certification plus do an apprenticeship, meanwhile illegals just walk in with fake credentials and work for less than half.
It's probably easier to pick someone small as a scapegoat so you can put them in jail easily. A giant multi national has a huge amount of cash and lawyers to gum up the process.
You don't need to actually jail many people, just a couple and indict a CEO or two just to let everyone know that the risk is not above 0%.
Televise the trials with daily updates. Turn it into the OJ trial of this generation.
Some have said that, but the fines do increase in later offenses.
1st time prosecution is 275-2000 dollars per illegal employee.(or at least was at some point)
2nd time prosecution is capped at 3000 dollars at some point(may not be the same year as above)(which still seems like nothing compared to the cost to the hospital/road/school/law enforcement systems over the lifetime of an illegal alien)
3rd time prosecution and the offender can receive jail time of up to 6 months per employee, but I didn't see anyone being sentenced to that, though one did take the 3000 fine(big whoop) in a plea bargain to avoid it.

It's kind of insane just how awful the construction industry as a whole is for employing illegal immigrants.

I thought they already got prosecuted and just paid the lowball fines and kept doing it.
Replying to myself.
