      Yeah, it also appears to be just a little mom and pop shop that’s hiring people from their community, not like some big corporate chain that’s got dozens of labor violations going on

    There’s plenty of evidence that Trump knowingly employs undocumented workers at Mar a Lago, Trump Tower, and his other golf clubs and properties. So they’ll go after him next, right?

    Wait until they start arresting farmers for doing the same.

    But let me guess, they won’t, because they are Republicans, and that baker was the only Democrat they had found.

    It would be nice if small businesses could get a “section 230” kind of protection. We should be able to hire anyone without fear of arrest. They are in the country, they should be able to be hired. It shouldn’t be on the company to check citizenship.

      I very much disagree.

      The reason business owners hire people who aren’t citizens is because they are cheap labor. Not only are they taking advantage of people who have very little choice in who will hire them and need a job to feed their families, they are not creating jobs that pay a living wage for people who are citizens. If your business model requires slave labor to be successful, then you shouldn’t be in business.

      Instead of criminalizing the people just trying to feed their families, criminalize the people who are taking advantage of people in a tough circumstance. It’s not difficult to show that you did your due diligence in trying to assess citizenship.

        yeah in the large amount of cases they know. contractors picking up the guys at home depot. restaurant owners who speak the language of the chefs that they get on the cheap. housekeepers. they don’t think its citizens willing to work what they are giving them that is for sure.

      If the IRS doesn’t complain about discrepancies in a W-2 or I-9 form, they should be good to hire. But the article doesn’t mention the IRS at all. I can only assume they moved pressure from the IRS to ICE so the “right” people get arrested.
