Tim Walz: Americans Should Compensate Minnesota Companies that Hired Illegal Migrants
Breitbart ^

Posted on 02/13/2026 7:41:02 AM PST by Tench_Coxe

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.

(snip)

“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.

Ingrates. Walz and Frey.

If I were to guess: they knew potential ivocation of the Insurrection Act was imminent, and perhaps more. Probably something Trump didn't want, if you follow Trump's sentiments re: Russia/Ukraine war. (I'm thinking Spanish Civil War here).

That would make sense to me for the "de-escalation", and the reports of Minneapolis PD attemtpting to co-operate.

But now that the imminent threat has passed, Walz and Frey are back puffing out their chests, imho.

I think you’re right. The prudence that Trump showed so far seems to be the better path.

Matt Varilek became the DEED Commissioner on June 20, 2023. Since late 2016, he served as President of the Little Falls-based Initiative Foundation, which supports economic and community development in the 14 counties and two sovereign tribal nations of Central Minnesota.


Well, looks like he has access to foundation funds for his great idea.........................

If those businesses hadn’t hired the illegals in the first place like they weren’t supposed to do, they wouldn’t need compensation. They should now be able to survive off of what they saved all that time.

Those companies used Walz to dip into the wallets of American taxpayers to sustain their illegal hirelings, by which to pay lower wages and to out-compete honest companies working outside Minnesota.

Now this thug wants us to compensate them? Poor babies.

When reading this article note the fake news. Only one opinion here, (the second is an echo).

Fake news.

Companies that employed illegals at the expense of Americans should be fined into oblivion.

Because we expect the state to follow the law, and the people not to steal from the rest of us....the Feds should send them MORE money?

Does he even hear himself talk?

Send more auditors. There must be rooms with cash up to people’s knees.

Those businesses should have to pay Federal fines to compensate us for the law enforcement efforts needed to clean out the illegals.

Maybe those businesses should hire Americans. What a concept!

Companies that hired illegals should be fined. All of the other companies that did not hire illegals were at a disadvantage.
