The Minneapolis businesses that exploit illegal migrants should be compensated by ordinary Americans for economic losses amid the federal enforcement of popular immigration and civil rights laws, according to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
“They left us with economic ruin,” Walz complained after White House advisor Tom Homan said on Thursday that he is withdrawing most ICE officers after arresting more than 4,000 illegal migrants in Minneapolis.

“Many Minnesota businesses – especially small businesses — are facing economic hardships that may prove insurmountable” because of the federal enforcement, said Matt Varilek, an economic development manager for Walz.

“Minnesota companies should compensate the American Taxpayers for the costs of them hiring Illegal Immigrants” Should be what a rational leader should say.
Not the Babylon Bee?
How to say FU to thee? Let me count the ways..
Tim, you should be arrested and charged with destroying Minnesota’s education and school system if there aren’t enough literate American citizens in your state that can be hired to fill those jobs that illegals held.
Me: Americans Should PROSECUTE Minnesota Companies that Hired Illegal Migrants
US companies that knowingly employ illegals——individuals not authorized to work in the US——are fined under federal law. The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 makes it illegal to hire undocumented workers, with penalties ranging from civil fines to potential criminal prosecution and loss of business licenses.
Key Aspects of Employer Penalties:
Civil Fines: Violations can result in monetary penalties.
Criminal Prosecution: A “pattern or practice” of hiring unauthorized workers can lead to criminal charges, including up to six months in jail for owners or managers.
Legal Obligation: Employers must use I-9 forms to verify employment eligibility and are subject to fines for paperwork violations, even if they didn’t know the worker was unauthorized.
While enforcement has varied historically, federal law explicitly aims to prevent the hiring of unauthorized workers to protect the domestic labor market.
Sometimes crime doesn’t pay.
You’re on it, all right. Take jobs away from citizens and give them to illegals; then when illegals are deported, take money from citizens to give to law-breaking companies that pushed citizens out to hire illegals. This is what is known as the warmth of collectivism. In spades.
Absolutely, for compensation but Walz’s reprobate dumb body in jail.
Companies who hired illegal non-Americans should be fined in order to compensated Americans who were not hired.
As usual he has everything upside-down and backwards.
Yeah, they should get free room and board for 10-20 years.
You know who should compensate Minnesota? The fraudsters who ripped off Welfare and food stamps. And the people who funded the paid rioters. And the politicians like Tim who benefited from it all. A RICO action against all of them, including the Democrat Party, is in order.
Geez, I thought that this was the Bee at first. But this Communist moron is serious...which brings to mind the phrase, “Blow it out your ass?”
Hey DOJ this is your hint to PROSECUTE THESE BUSINESSES for employing Illegal Aliens.
This is how the other 49 states always, ALWAYS pay for the commie trash policies of blue states.
CaCaLand has done the same for over a decade. Thank you for backstopping all of the crappola programs out thisaway.
YOU are paying for it but you do not bother to make your Fed reps put conditions on $$ that go to communist polities. Your fault.
Again, thanks.
Every day is Backwards Day at Tampon-Timmy’s Playhouse.
Businesses that employed illegals should all be confiscated and the owners and hiring managers in prison.
Will they take Democrat scalps as payment?
Minnesota companies that Hired Illegal Migrants Should Compensate Americans.
There, fixed it.
