Thinks it's bullshit? Just look it up.

Tyson's has a long bad history of using undocumented and child labor but they donate to Republicans so nothing ever happens to them.
I have long advocated for going after the employers. When the fines are so minuscule compared with the profits made with underpaid unbenefitted undoculmented labor there is no incentive for these employers to change their way. End the jobs and you remove a big incentive for coming here
the 3 top industries for undocumented labor are
agriculture/food processing
restaurants and hospitality
construction
All 3 have very strong lobbying groups with deep pockets that they use to "persuade" Congress not to do anything to truly endanger their work forces
Fueled by the pursuit of greatness.
