Other than the pure racism, the point of immigrant crackdowns (and Congress blocking immigration reform since Reagan) is to maintain a large highly exploitable labor force.
That's why ICE is hitting up day laborers at Home Depot parking lots and small Los Angeles businesses, and not, for example, shutting down the entire US meat and dairy industries which have relied on that exploitable labor for decades.
@stacey_campbell No that doesn't make any sense.
But what does make sense is making headlines to appeal to the talk radio crowd that Trump tries to appeal to.
Everything Trump does is dictated by whatever the talk radio crowd wants to happen. It's been like that since before he was re-elected.
It's really important to recognize which morons are setting the policy for this administration.
