The Department of Homeland Security has dramatically raised worksite enforcement to deter employers from hiring cheap illegal workers.
Since October, the agencys Homeland Security Investigations unit has checked employment records at 6,093 worksites, up from 1,716 in the prior fiscal year from October 2016 to the end of September 2017. The current pace of checks in 2018 is almost a five-fold increase from the prior year and included 100 stores in the 7-Eleven chain and 77 companies in California.
The agency has made 675 criminal arrests of managers or supervisors, plus 984 administrative arrests of illegals in the last nine months, versus 139 criminal arrests and 172 administrative arrests during the prior 12 months, according to a DHS statement. That is a five-fold increase in criminal arrests and a sixfold increase in administrative arrests.
In 2018, the DHS agency has also conducted several large-scale raids, including a meatpacker in Tennessee, and a meatpacker and landscaping firm in Ohio.
Amid President Donald Trumps high-pressure economy, the enforcement actions push employers to fire illegals on their staff and to raise wages for Americans.

Ha—my apologies! Totally!
I somehow got accused of being a bad teacher on another thread—not that I’m a teacher, BTW.
No sweat, FRiend .. reminds me of one my Sometimer’s moments .. lol
What lunacy will this drive the Demons to?
Those are not illegal.
Keep this up and we won’t need a stink’n wall. They’ll just stay home.
MAGA!
Are these illegals?
When things can be made in Mexico there will be fewer illegals coming here.
If they had a strong economy they could earn a living and would not come here.
Trade is not a zero sum game. In a free trade both sides benefit.
Most people who are not dumbkoffs are happy to see these things getting down.
Your thoughtless idea would bog down the process that fewer illegals would be deported.
When you have millions to go after you have to take the low-hanging fruit first.
Political figures have the means to fight charges and drag justice through the sh!t.
There are thousands of able-bodied bodies in prisons who would like some fresh air and exercise. Not that they would need to work on their tans.
Construction unions are mobbed up and extort extremely high wages for the members.
Union wages are higher because they make non-union wages lower. The last bastion of the unions should be overcome within the next decade, if we can keep the president in office.
See “The Bell Curve.”
gotta love Popp!
Is that you Mr. Clinton?????
For your own sake study the concept of free trade. That would remove some of your confusion.
Sod off, swampy.
Good news. Now they should send all the H1-B invaders home.
Can’t answer the question. Or are you afraid of the answer.
How do you become an “invader” when going through with a LEGAL procedure. Rather than strike out wildly, we need to concentrate of ILLEGALISM.
You are concerned with the LEGALLY admitted and confusing them with the ILLEGAL Aliens.
There is all the difference in the world.
The language is twisted. The H1-B and other visa programs are LEGAL in the sense that Congress (Democrats and RINOs) have passed laws to start and continue the programs. They are ILLEGAL in the sense that the excuses they used to create and continue the programs have been fraudulent from start to now.
Half of the American citizens who have earned STEM degrees since Y2K have not been able to get hired in their fields.
For every one STEM job created since Y2K, 1.4 visa immigrants have been imported.
The simple fact is that we never needed one single imported H1-B or L1 visa worker for any STEM job in the USA. More than 16 million qualified American citizens have been displaced from their jobs and careers in the past 18 years for no good reason.
You are expecting the law as written is not based on deceptions, outright lies and tomfoolery? LoL.
The language is accurate. Anything given color by law is legal. Our problem is ILLEGALISM long before you get to any lawful actuality.
BTW I have no ox to gore here; my younger son is in the computer field which is principally affected.
BTW the highest IQs are in East Asians. Our labor force quality is diluted by Affirmative Action and grade inflation.
After decades of the Welfare State and Leftist control, I doubt there is any field which is full of competent workers
