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.

Is tampon speaking to childcare centers closing down
LOL.
Trump, of course, needs to go in the opposite direction. The administration must eventually start levying major fines against businesses who break our laws by hiring illegal aliens. Once this happens several times, many businesses will start replacing their illegal workers with Americans and legal immigrants. After they see how much harder it is to get good jobs, many illegals will self-deport, since more money is the main reason they broke into the US in the first place.
If the admin does this, we will finally start putting a real dent in the overall percentage of illegals in this country. And we will do so without all the negative images that the left and their media have been using to attack ICE and the admin. Plus it will save the US money if they go on their own, making their own plans and going on their own schedule and volition. It’s a win-win, especially if the economy is already booming enough by that point that the leftist media can’t get away with screaming the fines for illegal hirings are killing the economy.
And of course in MN, it’s the riots that the leftists encouraged that have harmed their economy, not ICE getting a few thousand criminals out of there. If their economy wasn’t garbage and the reputation of Minneapolis toxic, that would have merely freed up a bit more work for Americans.
Think of the $$$ injected into the Minny economy because of ice. They have to stay somewhere, they have to eat, they have to buy gas.
Compare the expense / result with say the return in WV where there was cooperation.
Screw Tim Walz.
Commie Puppet
The Secretary of the Treasury shall set up an ICE Bank System and take reasonable steps to ensure its successful operation, which may include requiring a fee to open an account and periodic account servicing fees.
All persons and entities who engage in any type of physical real property activity must use an ICE Bank System account of theirs to obtain payment:
1. after March 31, 2026, for such activity in Florida counties on the Gulf of Mexico having at least 50,000 people according to the US census,
2. after April 30, 2026, for such activity in the District of Columbia and Florida counties on the Atlantic Ocean,
3. after May 31, 2026, for such activity in Dallas County, Texas, Tarrant County, Texas and Harris County, Texas and adjacent counties,
4. after June 30, 2026, for such activity in Fulton County, Georgia and adjacent counties,
5. after July 31, 2026, for such activity in Bexar County, Texas, Travis County, Texas and adjacent counties,
6. after August 30, 2026, for such activity in Fairfax County, Virginia, Henrico County, Virginia and adjacent counties,
7. after September 31, 2026, for such activity in all other political subdivisions in which the ICE Bank System has set up a branch at least two whole months previously.
Failure to do so shall be considered a felony and void the right to receive or retain payment or corresponding amounts and all such payments and amounts shall be subject to confiscation as the Secretary of Homeland Security may specify or direct.
Such physical real property activity shall be deemed to include building facility cleaning under contract and all building construction, building repair, building painting, septic system work, building site preparation, irrigation work, paving, landscaping, landscape maintenance, fencing and mowing.
Employees who do such work as a minor part of their workplace efforts such a waiter or retail store employee cleaning up, a cowboy mending a cattle fence shall be exempt for their work as such an employee.
Agricultural employees shall be exempt, except in the named counties, with respect to their agricultural work on properties of a type typically eligible for an agricultural property tax exemption in many states.
The identity of each customer and person to have account access shall be verified using a domestic government photo ID of theirs before an account may be opened for them. Copies shall be made and kept by the Bank in both paper and in computer form immediately linked to the account.
ICE Bank customer photo ID meeting all specifications the Secretary of Homeland Security shall set including having a bank branch identifier of at least three letters and a unique public access account holder identifier having at least three letters and three numbers shall be provided by the Bank after verification of entitlement of the account holder to work in the United States by the Bank and the tender of a photo matching the customer by the customer to the Bank wherein the head of the person is at least two inches in height and fully meets any additional specifications the Secretary of Homeland Security may set from time to time and not otherwise.
Each image of the photo IDs shall be placed online and be viewable on a ICE Bank website by entering the matching unique public access account holder identifier.
Persons who are not exempt shall not perform or get income from covered work unless they have received and posted a copy of their ICE Bank customer photo ID in place legible to all persons on the work site (and to passersby if possible) at all times in which covered work is being performed.
Such posting shall be done by placing their ICE Bank customer photo ID just behind a windshield of vehicle parked in nearby publicly accessible place if possible, a facsimile of the ID posted on a sign in a nearby publicly accessible place if that is not practical.
The Secretary of Homeland Security may impose reverification requirements, by regulation, account, account holder or ICE Bank worker.
Violators shall be subject to a fine reflecting the lack of compliance and a term of imprisonment of 12 months for willful violation, or any lesser term the Secretary of Homeland Security may specify.
Any person who conspires to subvert this law may be fined up to three times the apparent extent of the conspiracy.
Any law shall be passed by any other domestic government or any judicial decision issued by any domestic government with the likeihood of intent to thwart this law shall be void to the extent the Secretary of Homeland Security may specify.
The Secretary of Homeland Security shall have the power to void liens the ICE reasonably deems contrary to the underlying intent of this law. Subversive failure to cooperate shall permanently nullify any right of the violator to receive work-related government funding.
The sooner the better.
Agreed.
“Many Minnesota businesses – especially small businesses — are facing economic hardships that may prove insurmountable”
The invasion is bigger than many of us suspected.
“Companies who hired illegal non-Americans should be fined in order to compensated Americans who were not hired.”
That’s actually the law, but it’s never followed.
Tampon Timmah the Tard,
!!! NO !!!
“levying major fines against businesses who break our laws by hiring” invaders
What I suggest is allowing states to recover the cost of educating the offspring of invaders from the employers, with the ability to reach past any corporate covering.
I have been suggesting that hospitals be allowed to collect the cost of ER care of the invaders and their offspring from the employers of invaders.
The leftists generally love enriching public school teachers and hospital workers.
Elected federal Democrats would jump at the chance to help out the AFT and SEIU.
Employers typically have not feared fines for hiring invaders.
Florida was able to collect its cost of Medicaid for smokers from tobacco companies.
Go ahead and announce it. Then prosecute any business foolish enough to admit to the Feds that they knowingly hired illegals.
Americans should expect payment for the use of ICE and destroyed equipment/injuries alonmg with payment of federal groups needed because companies in his state hired violent and lawless illegal aliens for businesses in his state he’s supposed to keep out and made the feds come in to protect the US citizens. Until then, all federal funds will be cut off until the bill is paid by those funds. It’s called a garnishment.

Those businesses broke the law by hiring illegals, Timmy.
All of you greedy crooks can rot for all I care.
