Ever been to a Home Depot parking lot between 6-8am? Who needs signs?
Not here in Austin.... After the city council, mayor and sheriff, announced they would not follow ICE detainers............ ICE have swarmed this city and the construction trades are hurting for labor and the price for construction services is coming up to the going rates that were normal in the 1980's.
You don't see Illegals hanging out at Home Depot parking lots here, anymore.
It was so bad a few years ago, if you had something in the back of your P/U truck, it was gone when you came back from inside Home Depot.

California could use some of that type of enforcement between Los Angeles and Sacramento. Right up the gut of Central California.
Because our federal government has refused to enforce immigration laws, or to revise them, our own government incentivizes and even encourages people to circumvent the laws.
For example, because the harvest times are never exactly the same from one year to the next. farmers all followed our migrant worker laws. One year, they'd end up watching their crops rot in the fields while they wait on workers to arrive. the next year the farmers have to feed and care for workers who sit on their ass all day, because the harvest is running very late, or the weather killed their crops.
Illegal immigrants arrive at farms just when the harvest is ready, and then they move to the next farm, etc... following immigration law is not only terribly cumbersome and counter productive at times, but it can cost a farmer to lose his entire crop, and ruin the family business. The government incentivizes farmers to ignore the law, or potentially lose their entire years crop.
So illegal immigration works out well for these farmers who, incidentally, usually identify as being staunchly conservative. Obviously the government is encouraging this according to your post. This same government has been controlled for the most part by conservatives for the last several years. So tell me again why is this strictly a "lib'tard" affair? You don't think some of these GOP congressmen are looking the other way when they get calls from their farmer constituents complaining about what you just described?

You need a governor that is more interested in Californians, than Mexicans, El Savadorians, Hondurans, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Costa Ricans, and all parts south and west.
Texas finally got one that is more interested in Texans best interest, than Mexicans and all parts south of the border.

There is an immigrant crop workers program.... Cesar Chavez played a big part in that.
It's about time someone stood up and had illegals arrested while they were protesting .
They come here illegally and demand rights for illegals. The nerve.
Thank you Republican Representative Matt Rinaldi for having the guts to make the call to have them arrested!!
Democratic members of the Texas Legislature allegedly assaulted and threatened a Republican colleague on Monday after the Republican called immigration authorities to report illegal immigrants who were protesting on site, according to The Washington Times.
The altercation, according to Republican Representative Matt Rinaldi, started after he called Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in response to repeated interruptions of the day’s proceedings from illegal-immigrant demonstrators.
According to a Twitter post from Rinaldi, “several Democrats encouraged the protestors to disobey law enforcement.”
When I told the Democrats that I called ICE, Representative Ramon Romero physically assaulted me, and other Democrats were held back by colleagues,”
the guy is a WUZZZ he didn't even know if the protesters were illegals- and then threatens to shoot the other guys-- go back to MOMMY what a dirt bag

On one hand, I understand why some would want to limit immigration, on the other, US immigration policy is historically racist. Apparently, all those immigrants pouring through Ellis Island and piling on top of each other in tenements weren't a drain on our system. We had no immigration laws whatsoever until non-whites started coming. The first immigration law in the country was literally called the Chinese Exclusion Act.
Immigration has always been central to the American experience, and for most of that time it was free and unfettered...open borders, if you will. Most of you are here, right now, because of open borders. But, of course, your ancestors did it the wi...I mean "right" way.
Nice attempt at pulling the race card. We didn't make immigration laws based on racism or the color of anyone's skin. Are you joking? I guess you aren't aware of the 1965 immigration act that allowed most minorities to come here in droves?
Illegal immigration isn't "immigration" either. We still allow in 1 million legal immigrants a year and very few of those immigrants are whites. Most of our immigration comes from south of our border. So where's the discrimination and racism?
No, most whites who migrated here weren't here because of open borders. They came via our immigration laws in place at the time. I guess it just grinds you that "yes" most whites did come here the right way which was based on our laws that had nothing to do with their race.
