They should be highly fined for hiring illegal workers.
100%
Unfortunately, there are millions of businesses doing this practice.
YOU know, DJT doesn't touch businesses. He's a business owner and has hired undocumented. He wouldn't dare fine the employer.
@@vdsilva6806just about all the hotels and resorts.
@@OldWaysGardeningandPrepping the video doesn’t even indicate the workers were illegal just that they were detained.
These businesses are cashing in on cheap labor with cheap wages.
Exactly. It's the only reason there here. To drive down wages!
U mean the federal minimum wage?
Nah, it's Mexican owned. They have other motives.
If you're crying for prices right now wait few months😂
@@itogrande4022 I wouldn’t be surprised if trump tries to the lower minimum wage or make it non enforceable.

Yep and they can pay them less
When rents start going down you won't hear complaints about this from the small people anymore.

This invasion started during clinton but exploded under obama. Biden just did as much damage as he could before he went out the door. Pay attention to what really happens and you'll never vote democratic again.
In 1986, Ronald Reagan granted 3M illegal immigrants with amnesty. That act of stupidity emboldened more illegals to jump the border.
Your mom should have swallowed.
illegal is illegal need to accept that
The issue is they are assuming everyone who is Mexican is illegal and have deported legal immigrants as well without due process.
Report to deport it's everyone's patriotic American duty and responsibility 🥳🇺🇸

Time for business owners to start hiring American citizens
That part
Hire American teens for the same wage you gave an illegal. These kids need the discipline and the money.
Let’s be honest, Americans that could fill those jobs would prefer to be on welfare and food stamps! They have poor work ethics. If we could deport them and keep those low wage workers that’d be great!!
It's like American citizens are waiting in line to get hired in these low wage- harsh businesses.
No American wants to do these jobs, most young workers don’t take their jobs seriously.
Deport deport deport
Proper respect and documentation.

They're not employees if they're not citizens who don't pay taxes, etc ...
Well they're going back whether they like it or not

I guess what they mean to say,fear in the illegal comm.😂 My family sleeps just fine now. Im going to send for my family in PR. American jobs once again.😅
Why don't you all stop being so dumb if they are illegal it don't matter if they working in a store in the church in the supermarket they still liable to be arrested so stop trying to make it like it's a bad thing lock them up wherever they are if they're illegal they are breaking the law
As long as they are legal. but most are not.
Gee I guess no more remittence payments back to south america😅
I love how they all say that thier families were kidnaped,wife raped, one guy caught smuggling drugs and deported,so fat that it ought to be a crime
@EddieSantiago-t1v if you legal you do not have a problem if you are illegal whether you broke a law or not you are still in the country illegal that's a law

Good. These corrupt employers are very much a part of the problem.
Business owners should face fines for protecting Criminals Illegally.
Totally agree😊
I wonder who's stolen ID or SS numbers they were using?
I've always thought if some illegal uses your SS number, you should get the retirement benefits. 😁
Then there will be no businesses in American. Is there one Trumpster who has a functioning braln?
💯
Did I miss something? Weren't they released & returned to work? Who are you referring to in this story?
I'm an American CITIZEN I'm not afraid to go out. ANYONE who aids an ILLEGAL MIGRANT should face charges. If she grew up with some of these people, that means they have been here for decades? WHY haven't they become legal by now???
because you dont know the law, If it were that easy, they would have done it already 😅. It is not even easy to get a tourist visa, many of those who obtain one even lie in their countries of origin to obtain them.
They broke our law and crossed the border illegally. Hard or not, it is their problem. Time to go back to their country. Deport. No sympathy for law breakers
That is the million dollar question🙄🧐🇺🇸👍

Why should I have to speak spanish in America to get a job at a business in America
Nailed it!
Love to be the one to tell you this but there is NO OFFICAL LANGUAGE IN THE US. www.usa.gov/official-language-of-us This message paid for by Trump and his illiterate fans!
I hate living in Los Angeles lmfao
I lost a job I interviewed for, for that
It's total bullshit 💩 if you ask me! I agree 💯 percent with you! I shouldn't have to know Spanish either!
If you are illegal, you do deserve it says the migrants that did the work to become legal. Cheating the system should not get sympathy
Let's take a look at your taxes. I bet we see someone really cheating the system
@ have w2s and tax returns every single year from the age of 16 and I’m 59! Because I follow the law!
Did you watch the video they weren’t illegal they were released and now back working at the restaurant.
@jp2586 Well the IRS finds and goes after the tax cheats.
The income taxes can be ridiculously unclear and confusing.
There is nothing confusing about how to legally immigrate into the US.
@@teamofone1219 Actually the video did not say they were not illegals. When ICE detains someone illegal, they do a background check and if they do not have criminal records, they issue a deportation for them and releases them. They will now go to a judge to fight the case in the future. If they would have had criminal records, they would had been deported instantly.
I’d like to see a news story on why federal immigration law has been ignored all these years. Interview workers and business owners. You can put them in the dark and alter their voices to keep them anonymous.
Because those MSM affiliates still carry water for the catastrophic Democrat party
I've worked for businesses and every business hires them because they work hard. Americans works for 3 months max and quit. Any business owner if you ask them who is your best worker it's going to be someone not from America.
@PyroShields BS
@ If you don't like the truth then don't ask.
That's right, Americans don't want to do the bad jobs like cleaning, construction, the harvest, we tha latinos work hard.
They need to start arresting these business owners too, they're the enablers, it's like arresting a drug addict & not arresting the dealer.
If I lived there I would boycott the restaurant.
A whole group of people who dont deserve this?
Why haven't they filed the paper work to make their stay legal?
Why haven't the Democrats set up charities to ensure and help them file paperwork to make their stay legal, that is if they truly care about them.
They are doing that. The process is broken. Ask your orange man why the bipartisan immigration bill was blocked. I suppose you think building inhumane taxpayer funded prisons is a better system than letting people do the jobs that no one else wants, keeping food costs low, and paying income taxes.
Bullshit. These people came into our country illegal. Deport and they can apply the right way. You don’t enter illegal then start your paperwork.
Cheap labor that doesn’t pay taxes.
They DEMAND false credentials so they cannot be prosecuted.
@@tboneoutdoors688 taxes are withheld from their paycheck
Only slave pay taxes 😮
My roof and landscaping were done by small American business owners. All the laborers were Mexican. Legal or illegal, I don't know. I personally don't understand why they don't go after the people who hire them.
It's the same reason Germans weren't detained at internment camps. It's the same reason illegal Irish immigrants aren't being targeted.
When rents start going down you won't hear complaints about this from the small people anymore.
@@kmlumd44I’ve never seen rent go down.
You should care
How do you know they're not? These guys were released, probably after being interviewed about their hiring, wages, employer's practices, etc.
Arrest the person that hired them.
How many MEXICAN RESTAURANTS DOES AMERICA NEED!!?? OMG
You do know that Mexicans don't only work in Mexican restaurants... right??
@@Richard-k1j8e wow what a thing to complain about 🙄
@amydrew2907 put down the crack pipe Willie.
I get that.. We have a huge illegal population here and those restaurants and taco trucks are everywhere..
I can't even stand to eat Mexican food because of it..
But, they're hired in many other restaurants, as well..
@ lucky you have so many taco trucks. Yum.
If they’re not legal it’s hard to feel bad for them…any other country in the world would do the same thing. People need to stop defending this.
Arrest the owners for hiring them.
MISINFORMATION ALERT:
* This report fails to distinguish between legal and illegal immigrants.
* The fear-mongering in this report omits that ICE and DEA agents were targeting illegal immigrants with criminal records.
* It ignores the fact that sanctuary cities refuse to notify ICE when a criminal is in jail, instead releasing them back into the community-making their apprehension more dangerous for both officers and the public.
* It fails to mention that illegal immigrants have the option to return to their home country and apply to come back legally.
* It fails to mention any link between the open border, allowing the Mexican cartels to push fentanyl into our city streets, and the increased lawlessness in the city.
* It doesn't mention that businesses that hire illegal immigrants at low wages lower the job opportunities and potential salaries for Americans living in the city, which affects the poor the most.
* It doesn't mention that in the last 4 years, more than 10 million illegal immigrants have entered the country, and there are more than 700,000 who have committed crimes (excluding the illegal border crossing) while here.
Yup. You're right.
@@alansnyder8448 you have omitted many details as well
@@amydrew2907 < the details you like are lies though.
@ seems you think it’s only a lie when doesn’t serve your narrative.
@@amydrew2907 Indeed. I omitted the following, but it is really just scratching the surface.
* Most illegal immigrants pay the Mexican cartels between, $3,000 and 5,000 to reach the border, making the cartel richer.
* Many of the immigrants, who cannot pay cash to the cartel end up owing them a debt, which might be paid off, but helping with drug smuggling, or having women forced into prostitution.
* Many women have been rapped by cartel members, trying to cross the border illegally.
They are suffering because they won't hire legal employees
All these young American women that feel sorry for these people does not realize or even think about all the hard working Americans that have worked all their life and payed taxes and everything to the government,that this pisses us off because they are freeloaders. Gets everything from our hard earned mkney
Meanwhile your government is attempting to cut funding for programs that benefit Americans, which you also pay for.
@@scottengland6193 no one feels sorry for you because you are a mean and entitled grump
These women are pathetic
They also do not realize that when the illegals get the right to vote they will vote left and turn this country into the sewer country they just left,
I wonder if any of those tax free wages were being sent out of country.
Of course! That's one reason Mexico doesn't stop illegals from crossing their country. They want those American dollar remittances. So do all the other countries these freeloaders come from.
Good! Glad to hear it. Keep it up. People living in this country not paying taxes like I have to just doesn't sit right with me.
Undocumented immigrants pay income taxes. They just don’t have access to any of the services their taxes pay for.

Hire American
If its really a problem then you should NOT have built a business on illegal labor.
In this day and age, im quite sure his employees just walked into his business, and he hired them on the spot. No documentation, no id's, no social security numbers. He knew they were illegal and wanted them for cheap labor and more.
They DEMAND false credentials so they cannot be prosecuted.
You break the law you leave
They broke the law just coming here..
It used to be illegal for businesses to hire workers without a proper status (citizen, green card or legal work permit). When did that change?
It didn't. It's still the law. Businesses get away with hiring illegals so they do it.

How's that breaking the law? They're owners of this business! What do u expect?
Great. Now hire some legal people. You can do it. I have over 100 legal people working for me.
I guess they need to get started on their way to becoming a citizen. If they been here 30 years they really don’t have an excuse. How many legal citizens could of had those jobs?
How many legal citizens want those jobs?
@ not many but some do. It’s a slave thing really. If they screw up or don’t do what you tell them to do you threaten to call ice. You never have to pay them more. They can leave and hope to find another job with a stolen social security card or file for one. If you’re fired are you going to file for unemployment? If you do that’s fraud to. It’s better to be legal in the US to have the title of citizen. Then you have rights.

Whenever you are arrested or detained by Ice you go before an immigration judge who decides whether or not you should be immediately deported or your case continued
So a judge said they can be here & work for now. Leave them alone.
Hire legal workers, problem solved.

The business owner should be fined 100,000 dollars per illegal immigrant hired. Plus face incarceration up to 10 years per illegal immigrant found hired.
I agree. However very often ,,such businesses or especially major farms owned by REPUBLICANS/Trumpees. Thus laws won't go after them. Only mere minor $ fines. If a fine at all..
Well if they are sentenced for 10 years how are they going to pay a 100k fine. Make sense you're embarrasslng yourself.

They should be raided , here illegally, don’t care what the 70’s was about, illegal get out
The same in D.C. when I worked the city in the mid 70's. They would stop traffic at both ends of the street, bring in the busses, go into the apartments in force, haul them out, and off they go, all within a matter of only a few minutes. Ah the good ole days.

With tariffs coming into play and prices projected to rise again for awhile, this will also likely blast some lazy Americans off their couches too. Not a bad thing.
Federal immigration law, USC 8 Codes 1323 1324 1325 1326.. breaking these laws is a federal crime. The consequence is arrest and deportation, and subject to denial of legal entry for 5 to 10 years.
