  • This isn’t about immigration or migrant workers, this is purely racist theatre. Punishing brown people for the sake of being evil.

    If the government REALLY wanted to end undocumented workers, they’d go after the people hiring them. Workers are mobile. They move around a lot. 30000 acre farms pretty much just stay put. The owners of those farms already have tight margins some years. Imagine how it would be if they got hit with a $50k fine for each undocumented worker? Undocumented workers would end overnight because they can hire minimum wage worker for less than the 50k fine.

    you’re simply punishing that kid for no reason.

    IT’S HIS JOB!

    Since when is doing the job you were hired for considered punishment? I’ve worked in a retail environment when I was younger. I always enjoyed being tagged to collect carts. I got to go outside and shuffle around the lot.

    And of course it hurts the bottom line. If people start leaving their carts around more, they have to pay someone to collect them. If everyone puts carts in the cart return, they collect from there. If carts are all over the lot, it will take 2 or 3 times longer.
