Illegals Out, Wages Up: The Quiet Labor Shift Behind Trump’s Self-Deportation Plan <snip> When the Washington Post (not a RW org) analyzed the BLS report, they found that “Average hourly wages accelerated, rising by 0.4 percent over the month, to $36.24 in May,” and they attributed that boost to "the exit of immigrants from the labor market. More than a million foreign-born workers have exited the workforce since March.” With fewer illegal workers competing against American workers for jobs, employers have had to raise pay to keep their positions filled. This trend, if continued, could mark the beginning of a long-overdue recalibration of the labor market in favor of the American worker.

Bill, The owner is lucky he’s not in jail for *knowingly hiring illegals. That's because he didn't, you dense fukk. From the article: How a city in Nebraska is recovering after the state's largest worksite immigration raid (NBC News) As of Friday night, criminal charges had not been filed against those arrested in the raid. About a dozen of them have already been deported or transferred out of state. At least 63 others were taken to the Lincoln County Detention Center. The county’s sheriff, Jerome Kramer, said none of the detainees are “violent offenders”* and he hopes to help them “*complete the process to correct their work status and reunite them with families or employers*.” There is no word yet on which of the 76 detainees were actually illegal immigrants. Less than 12 were actually deported, according to the article, and there's a good chance that most if not all of them should NOT have been. You know, that due process thingy. By the way, once the detainees get released back into their communities, they're going to find themselves out of a job, because the plant can't afford to wait for ICE-IS to return the former employees. Better for the plant to hire replacements, but that'll end up screwing over those who were wrongfully detained. So congratulations, Bill. Your Mango Mussolini destroyed the livelihoods of 76 non-violent and law-abiding workers, all because, like ICE Barbie, you simply assumed they're 100% illegal. I hope you're happy, because this is exactly what you voted for. The destruction of innocent lives, all to "pwn the libs." Tenchusatsu
