When they did this at my wife's work back on 2017, the guy they took wasn't deported because he paid a couple thousand dollar fine. The employer who illegally hired him paid nothing.

I hope you're happy with all those campaign contributions, corporate America. Especially those of you in the restaurant industry.
They're only going to raid employers that didn't contribute to the campaign. It's extortion.
We'll know if we hear any Big Ag name being raided.
Mistakes will be made and overzealous enforcers will be hired. This is going to blow up in their corporate faces.
Sure, probably. But that's what happens when you elect leopards and have faces.
The point is to inspire fear and demand unwaivering loyalty. A little random violence against your own people helps tighten the inner circle around the leader, hoping for safety. Anyone outside the circle is surely doomed, and only the most loyal are surely protected. The leader is fickle and irascible, so be on your toes and never risk his ire.
Restaurant, agriculture, construction, landscaping, etc. I'm assuming it'll be any of
- Prices skyrocketing
- Industries collapsing
- Money under tables and "officials" looking the other way
Probably all 3 though, in that order.
Heavy on number 3. Everyone tap dancing with glee over how badly this is going to blow up in the Republicans faces is seriously underestimating the degree to which this is going to be a government absolutely built from the ground up on corruption, bribery and extortion. I can't help but think that in a few years the US is not going to look an awful lot like Russia.
And the reality is that, by the standards of billionaires, these people will all be very, very easily bought.
How about farm workers .... I'm up in Canada and I know because I've seen entire farm communities in southern Ontario base their entire business on immigrant labor that was either legal, illegal and everything in between. Around Norfolk (a region southwest of Toronto), entire towns are filled with Mexican, Haitian, Dominican and more recently, African workers as labor for the planting, management and harvest.
We all have cheap vegetables in North America because of cheap immigrant labor that our governments allow into the country to work (for little to no money) but not to stay.
Farm workers will definitely be another one. And farms are massive corporate businesses now overall. The age of the small farmer is mostly over.
This actually happened in Georgia a few years ago when they got more draconian on undocumented immigrants. Crops were withering in the fields.
I'm waiting for those workplaces to get fined or sanctioned... still waiting. Hmmm, I wonder why corporations, who are people by law, aren't being targeted in the same way as humans for the same crime.
