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.
They'd need to make executives personally liable for crimes they commit as representatives of the company. But that's highly unlikely to ever happen. Otherwise, the fines will always be less than the money saved by committing the crime and the crimes boost profits in the short term which is more important for publicly traded companies than a future potential fine no matter how much it is, unless it's truly devastating, which will also never happen due to the cost of litigating.
Then they'd just appoint fall guys and remove them the second they disobeyed.
Abolish the corporate veil; hold shareholders liable for the crimes they pay people to commit. Yes I'm aware why it exists, and that can be solved with liability insurance without imposing external costs on everyone else.
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.
