As an aside, I’ve seen this happen elsewhere as well. Classic play for wage theft. When I was working as a bartender in London to make ends meet, I had a coworker from Mexico on an expired visa. Great guy and the most hardworking. Well won’t you guess it, guy got picked up by immigration authority on payday.

    It’s crazy. Growing up I was shown so many images of so many people arriving by the boat load at Ellis Island and taught how America is a melting pot and how that’s a good thing and our strength.

    Apparently the wealthy couldn’t keep us under control by threatening homelessness, starvation and loss of healthcare - now they have to threaten to fucking deport us if we don’t bend the knee to their miniature dictatorships.
