The sob story of the day from Channel Four News:
Construction work force taking a hit amid ICE operations in Middle Tennessee
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - As ICE operations continue throughout Middle Tennessee, several business groups are reporting a loss in workforce because workers are scared to leave their homes.
…
“They’re afraid to even come to job sites now,” one owner of a construction business told WSMV4. “They’re afraid of the permit office coming by and checking up and then calling ICE.”
And here we go again:
WSMV4 spoke with a woman who asked to remain anonymous, citing fear of retaliation on her business and her workers by federal authorities.
Journalists being so kind and thoughtful not sharing the name of the person and her business even though she has nothing to be afraid of if she was complying with the law, as we have been told oh-so-many-times in the past.
But they do get to demand answers when it fits their political script.
We continue to request the names and charges of those arrested during the operation. DHS and ICE have yet to send, citing a privacy law that prohibits them from doing so.
I imagine that down the road, the Feds will start targeting business knowingly hiring illegal aliens and shafting them accordingly. It won’t take but maybe a dozen when suddenly you will see a reduction on payroll and a full southbound migration.
One more thing in the article:
While operations are not confirmed to have ended, workers in various industries, including hospitality and construction, are fearful to leave their homes and head to work, even those with valid work visas.
Bullcrap. There is nothing that immigrants display with more pride than any paperwork that says “Yes, he/she is legal to be in the country.” If they are fearful to show documentation, it probably is because it is not quite legal and will not support a reasonable check by authorities or what is know by experts as fake documents.
I could have sworn that the South abandoned quasi-slavey practices with the advent of the Civil Rights Act, but I discovered that it simply got disguised under the cloak of “caring” and “fighting victimization and hate”
Meet the new overseer, same as the old one but pretending to care about your chains.
Its those payments to the Progressive Elite D's by skeevy "contractors" for the privilege of exploiting the un- or fraudulently documented that will stop when ICE decimated their labor force. Good. As if they NGO's they partner with weren't despicable enough.
Another "You need to emotionally connect with the undocumented migrants" story.
same old shiite from democratic playbook…. my question- “contractors” hiring illegals… if we firearms owners can be held liable for criminal use of firearms by others, why can’t contractors be held liable for breaking laws???? as liberals are fond of saying to us gun owners- if you have nothing to hide why are you hiding?….
