Wait! I'm not with THEM! There's an unfortunately loud part of the country that is giving the GOP, conservatives, and Americans a bad name. This comm is for the rest of us, the quiet majority. If there is anything worth conserving, it's our values: Respect, Integrity, and Truth.
This comm is for the posting about US politics from a right, but not alt-right, perspective.
Rules:
- Treat each other with respect. Follow lemmy.today instance rules. Follow your instance rules.
- Social media posts must either include a timestamp in the image or be accompanied by a timestamp in the text of the post. Posts with an inaccurate or missing timestamp will be removed. Relative timestamp (e.g. "5 mins ago") will be removed.
- Only use high quality news sources. They all have bias, but quality and truth are a requirement. News articles must have a non-fictitious, non-anonymized byline. Fox is not a high quality news source.
- Don't post memes, but you can comment with them.

It is not illegal to work without being a citizen. It is illegal to knowingly hire non-citizens. I've read a few articles on this raid and it seems although they used "identity theft allegations" to start, nobody was arrested in relation to those allegations.
So they raided a company under false pretenses, arrested hard workers, let anybody who actually committed a crime off without even a warning, and now the people arrested are going to be removed from the country to a "shit hole country" that they probably have never been to without a trial for the non-violent crime of not going through an unnecessarily restrictive, slow immigration process. This is not integrity. This is human trafficking.
I know it sounds like I'm talking out of both sides of my mouth here trying to say these people may have committed a non-violent crime but the real criminals are those people who committed a non-violent crime, but it's pretty obvious to me that ICE did not improve America with these actions. I have doubts that it opened job positions that'll actually be filled because statistically speaking they were probably paying the immigrants next to nothing and Americans have more pride than to work for that amount, hence why immigrants were hired to begin with. The company failed but the people are punished.
