    We could stop most undocumented migration tomorrow with 1 simple change, stiff penalties on companies that employ undocumented workers and have ICE investigate business owners for employing or contracting undocumented workers. You can literally visit almost any farm in the US and find 100s of undocumented workers being treated like shit.

    But instead, republicans like to focus all their efforts on the boarder. Why? Because the threat of expulsion makes for good slave labor.

    That’s why they are constantly worried about undocumented immigrants using social services. The don’t want their slaves educated or looked in on. They don’t want CPS asking “Hey, isn’t that child supposed to be in school? Why are they picking grapes right now?” So they constantly demonize and terrorize to make sure their slaves know “If you get too uppity, we’ll separate your family and send them back to the cartels.”
