America’s migrant workers are terrified to work but unable to stay home
New YorkCNN —
In the early morning on Tuesday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents chased farmworkers through a field in Oxnard, California.
Agents tackled and restrained workers amid rows of produce, as seen in video from CNN affiliate KABC.
ICE, racing to fulfill President Donald Trump’s goal to increase deportations, has increasingly targeted work sites for immigration sweeps in recent weeks. The escalation is creating a chilling effect on the businesses that rely on immigrant labor and the workers themselves, with some staying home out of fear. America’s agriculture, construction, health care and hospitality industries are powered by immigrant workers, both legal and undocumented.
“Recent immigration enforcement raids on businesses nationwide are creating serious challenges for local economies, communities, and industries that depend on immigrant labor to operate and prosper,” said Rebecca Shi, the CEO of American Business Immigration Coalition, a group representing employers with immigrants.
Keep Lying. It would be a disappointment if you actually told the truth.
I saw nothing about the employer being addressed. All they have to do is go to the office and inform the employer that if there are illegals working there tomorrow the employer will be arrested.
As is, he starts back up as soon as the goons leave.
