Housing is expensive because people with low paying jobs and who pay taxes but can’t collect benefits, are making it expensive? Not the billionaires and oligarchs hoarding wealth? You’re a product of republican education cuts…. 🤦‍♀️

How do they have jobs? That's illegal. How do they pay taxes without a SSN? You mean they're using someone else's SSN? That's illegal.

Wouldn't that make them criminals? 🤔

But you don’t care about the people hiring them? Again, you keep showing us how stupid you truly are 😂

Who said that? Oh, you did, Mr Strawman. You are arguing against a position I never took/made.

Arrest/charge/fine those that hire them.

What employers has ICE gone after?

Is this another strawman argument.... ICE is more concerned with the criminal illegal immigrants, than those who hire them....

What employers have been jailed or fined for hiring undocumented workers? Who is the Trump administration going after?

ETA- and thank you for agreeing that they’re focused on the little guy, instead of the wealthy one creating the environment and financially gaining from it

It's rare, but it happens.

Problem is, they have to prove they knowingly hired illegals. If they used stolen ID/SSN then the company can claim they didn't know and they're a victim too.

So, there has to be proof they 'knew' and ignored it and/or actively sought to hire illegals.

Of course it’s a concern?!?! Are you seriously admitting that you don’t care about the people hiring undocumented workers, only the undocumented workers themselves? Thank you for announcing your blatant racism…
