Yesterday ICE banged on the doors of a meat packaging plant in Omaha, Nebraska. (The owner must be a Democrat?)
The owner of the plant told ICE goons he uses E-verify, he was told that e-verify was broken, to which he replied, that's your fault, I am following the law.
ICE hauled away 70 people in buses with blackened windows.
Great job Krasnov, hauling away 70 people who were taking the jobs of White Supremacists. I expect that Nazis will be flocking to the plant to sign up to work.
Promises made - promises kept. Hurry up Nazis, run to the plant and take back your jobs.

(30,963 posts)the soon to be empty grocery store shelves / meat counters where the meat was to be sold to the public. Other meat packing facilities, noticing increased demand for their products, hike prices to match demand.
Also not pictured... the now empty wallets of everyday Americans as the double whammy of tariffs on imported products and lack of cheap labor willing to risk death or dismembering at meat packing lines causes the shortage and resulting hyper inflation.
Also not pictured... the grinning dictators in both China and Russia as they watch the USA dissolve into a third rate power

(3,018 posts)I took the only job available without education or connections in Amarillo that paid more than minimum wage. I worked at the factory slaughterhouse, Iowa Beef Processors. There were two starting groups a week. Most of the Americans quit the first week, many before lunch the first day. I stayed a year and a half to get money for college. I only know of one other American who didn't go into management who stayed as long. Most of the workers were Viet Namese or Laotian refugees or from México. Most of the Mexican workers stayed a few months to save money to move to factory jobs in the North. The Americans who didn't last had to either move 350 miles to look for work or accept being stuck in jobs which paid $3-4/hr, IBP paid $5.50-7.50. A half century later my carpal tunnel still hurts every day.
I don't really know the Tiktok generation that well, but I don't have the impression that their work ethic is such that they will be able to make a go of slaughterhouse work. As for people over 30 who are used to office jobs, it doesn't matter what their work ethic is like, 90% won't physically and mentally be able to last a week.

ICE is using the e-verify system as a tracking system.

(4,504 posts)In the sense people use stolen SSN numbers. Employers know they are hiring people they shouldn't, but e verify is a scheme to hold the employers harmless and allow them to feign ignorance.

(11,528 posts)Since many child labor laws have been loosened, we can get some 12-year-olds to work the graveyard shift.Republicans can pass a law that says 24 hours after the children learn the ropes (or saws) they can bring their 10-year-old cousins to work with them.
Its a new, big and beautiful country under Trump. Miles of tanks, buses with blacked-out windows, children working third shift, Marines in LA
USA! USA! USA!

Fox will run a 2-hour special investigating this allegation.
