ICE just raided the largest mass planned housing development in America and questioned over 300 people, making 33 arrests while dozens apparently fled the scene in panic. Activists say illegal immigrants represent a major backbone of the US labor market, but proponents of these raids say unemployed Americans might now be able to find a job. 33 people were detained and "dozens" fled the scene. Some estimate the true number of illegal workers to be much higher as ICE reportedly recieved a large number of complaints before the raid took place.

My 21 year old daughter has applied to numerous entry level jobs. If she applies online, it is like a black hole. She does NOT take drugs. Has no tattoos, and can speak better than most at these jobs. The system is broken.
There’s something wrong. After Covid it’s hard to fill positions and because of it (whatever reason it is) we got a whole bunch working in my northeast US state from West Africa and I swear at least 2 of them cant know more than 5% english. These are the assylum seekers that Biden gave permission to work while they wait their case. A case that is normally decided before they are allowed to enter the country and they have workers permits.
Maybe most the Americans are working for Door Dash and Uber these days but they are certainly not working a typical fulltime job as we know it.
The Walmarts / Sam Clubs in this area in Maine are starting pay at between $18.50 to more than $21 / hour. Burger King has a sign “Now hiring teenagers 14 years and up” their starting pay is at least $16.50 per hour.
But who is working there? These so called migrants who think they will qualify for assylum from their west african home country after walking / riding thru Brazil thru Peru thru Ecuador, Colombia, Panama... until reaching the US border. That is not legal.
Whatever the problem is, I think Trump will fix it because it’s likely manipulated by the left during the Biden years. They probably told all the major corps to prioritize the hiring of so called “Migrants”.
It’s hard to find workers willing to work at the low wages being offered.

There’s more payments for those that don’t want to work available today. Shut the spigot and BINGO! People go to work!
That’s what I think is going on. Maybe DOGE has or is fixing that as we speak
Your posts are both ignorant and anti American. They are hate speech
Bruce Springstein said the same thing you did only about President Trump I saw on the news. He feels that deporting illegals is “anti-American” as well. If Trump is doing it, it must be anti-American is how he things.
There is nothing about deporting illegal aliens that is anti-American.
I suggest you toss out those Bruce Stringtsein albums.
Try some AC/DC. They are much more popular than that leftie Stringstein, they are touring here in the USA as I speak and they never come out and talk politics. They are drawing more crowds this tour than ever before from ages 10 years to 80 years old. They are more American than Bruce Springstein.

My 21 year old daughter applies for these low-wage jobs. Her English is fine, she takes no drugs. She’s not getting call backs. It is NOT just that people won’t work for low wages, Something else is going on.
Perhaps it’s because they think someone like that will just move onto a better job when it becomes available.
My adult, off the boat great grandparents did as well. Both were native Welsh speakers. They raised 19 children following the end of the Civil War in 1865 and all of them spoke English and graduated from college.
The US has been invaded by predominantly Spanish speakers. Unfortunately, that has distorted the job market. The government isn't going to fix it. Government inaction has made the problem worse. Adapt or be left behind because nobody is coming to save the day.
I chose a favorite Mexican food restaurant for lunch today. All of the staff speak Spanish. Most speak enough English to take an order. I ended up ordering in Spanish to facilitate getting my order correct. The server was as appreciative as the French speaking server was in Belgium when I ordered in French.
People really appreciate it when Americans make the effort to speak in their own language because Americans usually don’t know other languages and often seem to think that everyone should know English.
