Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Isn't it also illegal to hire them? This guy should be arrested.
I genuinely don't know what to do with people like him. On the one hand... Yeah. He ~~knowingly hired undocumented people, making him a hypocrite, and he~~ just voted to have those people forcibly deported against his own interests, making him a fucking dumbass.
At the same time, he seems to be showing actual remorse, and that should definitely be encouraged. The only - only - way this country has even the slightest shot at recovery is by flipping large numbers of the orange shit-gibbon's supporters, like this guy.
I really want to believe that's possible. I don't think it is, but I want to believe it.
Edit: Missed the part in the article where these guys had valid work visas.
If you can't pay a living wage, then maybe your business shouldn't exist.
They have work permits, according to the article.
If they have work permits they're not illegal and shouldn't have been snatched up anyway.
There’s many articles out there about ice and organization, grabbing the wrong people or people who are properly identified, but their actual legal status mislabeled. As far as I’m concerned, ice is completely incompetent and they shouldn’t be enforcing any laws whatsoever at this point. 
I completely agree. ICE is nothing but Gestapo trash.
They've been given the go-ahead to go full mask-off racist:
I wonder if Benny Johnson started bleating out the same thing. That guy has one of the most punchable faces I've ever seen, by the way.
And yet, here we are, with ICE kidnapping legal residents
GestICEpo is arresting first and asking questions later (how long is the process going to take? Are they going to get lost in a prison somewhere for months?).
And there's the rub. Shame they're already on a plane out of here, nothing US can do.
I guess their work permits didn't cover their brownish-ratio.
Yeah, but they failed the paper bag test probably.
Yes, which should give ICE supporters a moment to pause and consider two things. First, anyone could be an immigrant. It could be their neighbors and coworkers. Documentation can be faked or doctored or just expired, and the immigration process is deliberately complex.
Second, ICE isn't being careful about who they abduct and deport. There's no process, much less due process, and it can literally happen to any person, immigrant or native born, legal or otherwise.
Steven Miller seems to be calling the shots on this, and his test is do they "pass as white"? If yes, move along, if not, arrest and sort it out later as they are potentially "monsters" and sub-human. And being wrong has so far had no consequences.
Article says the workers were legally here on visas which hopefully opens the guy's eyes even more
