Any chance you will admit that sanctuary cities and offering free healthcare for illegals ... incentivises illegal immigration?

Well, Bigdog, since the Katz man can’t/won’t answer your nicely worded interrogatory, I shall.

Oh hell yes, sanctuary cities and offering free healthcare for illegals incentivises illegal immigration.

[Celticguy]

Foolish to go to their kadt known addresses. You know where they work.
Lock up their employers while you're at it and get rid of loi illegals the easy way.

[signalmankenneth]

Good.
Arrest and deport.
Fine the company and indict the human resources manager.

These illegal immigrants, do jobs even Trump deplorables won't do?!!
They pay taxes too!

[Trumpet]

Good.
Arrest and deport.
Fine the company and indict the human resources manager.

What about the companies or individuals who employed them?????? Could they be Republicans, who like to pay substandard wages????????????

[Earl]

the wall is to keep them from walking back in.........

Indeed.

Border Patrol-walls work.

The loons on the left-walls don’t work.

I agree with the men and women on the border. Walls work...walls work for Obama and for prisons too.

ICE raids on Mississippi food processing plants result in 680 arrests

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said Wednesday that its officers had raided seven food processing plants in Mississippi and detained approximately 680 "removable aliens" in what a federal prosecutor described as "the largest single-state immigration enforcement operation in our nation's history."

Nearly 600 ICE agents swarmed the plants in Bay Springs, Carthage, Canton, Morton, Pelahatchie and Sebastapol, surrounding the perimeters to keep workers from fleeing.

"The execution of federal search warrants today was simply about enforcing the rule of law in our state and throughout our great country," U.S. Attorney Mike Hurst said in a statement. " I commend these federal agents, our state and local law enforcement partners, and our federal prosecutors for their professionalism and dedication to ensure that those who violate our laws are held accountable."

In Morton, 40 miles east of Jackson, workers filled three buses — two for men and one for women — at a Koch Foods Inc. plant. Workers had their wrists tied with plastic bands and were told to deposit personal belongings in clear plastic bags. Agents collected the bags before they boarded buses. About 70 family, friends and residents waved goodbye and shouted, "Let them go! Let them go!" Later, two more buses arrived.

Workers who were confirmed to have legal status were allowed to leave the plant after having their trunks searched. Some employees tried to flee on foot but were captured in the parking lot.

"It was a sad situation inside," said Domingo Candelaria, a legal resident and Koch worker who said authorities checked employees' identification documents.

"All the unlawfully present foreign nationals arrested Wednesday are being interviewed by ICE staff to record any potential mitigating humanitarian situations," ICE said in a statement. "Based on these interviews, and consideration of their criminality and prior immigration history, ICE is determining on a case-by-case basis based on the totality of the circumstances which individuals will be detained and which persons may be released from custody at present."

“HSI’s [Homeland Security Investigations] worksite enforcement efforts are equally focused on aliens who unlawfully seek work in the U.S. as well as the employers who knowingly hire them,” HSI New Orleans Special Agent in Charge, Jere Miles said in a statement.

A hangar at the Mississippi National Guard in Flowood, near Jackson, was set up with 2,000 meals to process employees for immigration violations on Wednesday. There were seven lines, one for each location that was hit.

"I've never done anything like this," Chris Heck, resident agent in charge of ICE's Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) unit in Jackson, told The Associated Press inside the hangar. "This is a very large worksite operation."

Such large raids were common under President George W. Bush, most notably at a kosher meatpacking plant in tiny Postville, Iowa, in 2008. Nearly 400 workers, mostly Guatemalans, were swept up and jailed as a result of that operation. President Barack Obama avoided them, limiting his workplace immigration efforts to low-profile audits that were done outside of public view.

Trump resumed workplace raids, but the months of preparation and hefty resources they require make them rare. Last year, the administration hit a landscaping company near Toledo, Ohio, and a meatpacking plant in eastern Tennessee. The former owner of the Tennessee plant was sentenced to 18 months in prison last month.

Koch Foods, based in Park Ridge, Ill., is one of the largest poultry producers in the U.S. and employs about 13,000 people, with operations in Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Ohio and Tennessee. Forbes ranks it as the 135th largest privately held company in the U.S., with an estimated $3.2 billion in annual revenue. The Morton plant produces more than 700,000 tons of poultry feed a year, company officials said in February.

Immigration agents also hit a Peco Foods Inc. plant in Canton, about 35 miles north of Jackson. The company, based in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, says it is the eighth-largest poultry producer in the U.S. A company representative did not immediately respond to a telephone call or email seeking comment.

Too bad that there is only a limited number of Trumperoos to suck this up.

These illegal immigrants, do jobs even Trump deplorables won't do?!!
They pay taxes too!

Illegals who pay taxes have to steal a SS number to do so.

Then they use the Low income Tax Credit and Child Care Credit to receive refunds.

[Trumpet]

any chance you can take a shot at coherence?

I've mentioned that to him in the past, and it's a waste of text.

[Earl]

Arrest and deport.

It is the LAW.

Of course if you don’t want that law enforced, perhaps the Civil Rights Laws need not be enforced.

Everything that an illegal does in America, does so illegally, from working or tying their shoes.

[Getin the ring]

any chance you can take a shot at coherence?

mad bro,

don't worry it wasn't a SPAM factory, you can still feed the kids

[Trumpet]

so your answer is no to being coherent.

Again, why waste your time communicating with a schizophrenic.

“Groups want Trump to close loophole allowing illegal immigrants to abuse tax credits.”

Illegal immigrants need only one number to access billions of dollars in free taxpayer cash.

The Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN) unlocks an exclusive gateway for non-citizens to receive monies meant for working, low-income Americans. The nine-digit code was created by bureaucrats in 1996 for foreigners who had to deal with the IRS. It allows people without a Social Security number, including those in the country illegally, to file taxes.

“It’s just a farce to say it was created to collect taxes,” Robert Rector, senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation, told Fox News. “It’s nothing but a welfare program designed for illegal immigrants. ITINS are for tourists or illegals. No ITIN filer is eligible to work in the United States.”

“:6The problem with ITIN, critics say, is gives non-citizens access to federal cash that they should not be entitled to receive. Once illegal immigrants file ITIN tax returns, they can apply for a Child Tax Credit – which entitles them to $1,000 per child. Unlike the Earned Income Tax Credit, which requires a Social Security Number to qualify, the Child Tax Credit is a cash program that does not.

Critics say that makes it ripe for abuse.

Numerous investigations by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration have chronicled not only improper Child Tax Credit fraud and error payments ranging from $5.9 billion to $7.1 billion, but schemes such as nearly 24,000 ITIN payments going to the same address. The audit reports also found IRS management was “not concerned with addressing questionable applications” but “interested only in the volume of applications that can be processed, regardless of whether they are fraudulent.”

Another audit report examining ITIN usage found Child Tax Credit claims more than quadrupled in five years, from $924 million in 2005 to $4.2 billion in 2010.”

Anyone wanna bet they all "had papers" to present for EMPLOYERS to employ them? OR WORSE yet, it's a poultry plant for chrissakes, maybe they didn't even ask!!

-Has ANYONE on this board given serious consideration how this is done? And WHY WE CAN'T CRACK DOWN ON THAT? I keep wondering what the connections are and to whom--30 years of EVERIFY and a whole new industry popped up.

-Does everyone here know that MANY EMPLOYERS tell illegals where to go to obtain FAKE PAPERS?

-Does everyone here know that EMPLOYER are in the FAKE PAPERS industry?


There's a plethora of stories on these. Here's just one...
