One Nebraska meat packing plant lost a sizable percentage of its work force in an ICE raid. They hired as many locals as they could but were still short, so they upped their hourly wage about $10 for existing personnel and new hires.

Yep!

It is the idiots in Washington who can't or won't think straight.
