“For the last several months, agents of Immigration and Customs Enforcement ICE have carried out well- publicized immigration raids in factories, meatpacking plants, janitorial services and other workplaces employing immigrants. ICE calls the workers criminals, because immigration law forbids employers to hire them.
But while workers get deported and often must leave their children with relatives, or even strangers, dont expect to see their employers to go to jail. Further, ICE cant, and wont, deport all 12 million undocumented workers in the country. This would quickly halt many industries. Instead, these raids have a political purpose.”
