Think of the Americans that lost out on those jobs because illegals took those jobs.
Industries in the US have been decimated because illegals came in and were given jobs.

Sure it's sad. But they knew they were taking a risk by sneaking into this country to live.
Other countries take a much harsher view of illegals in their country.
Yeah 8 years because your partisan blinders make you fail to acknowledge that the situation was not different under any President for the last 50+ years.

No. 8 years because the USG agencies were instructed to be more lenient. Agents were moved from the southern border to the northern border leaving the souther border vunerable and at the time when all those millions of "kids" came across.

And of course "deferred deportation".

No partisan blinders here at all. Obama went out of his way to make it easier for illegals to come here and stay here. With Congress blocking him he used EO's and policy changes to make his laws.

No, none of these jobs are available to American citizens. These were Mexican businesses who hired Mexicans, both legal and illegal. Never saw an American working at any of these places. The owners never wanted to hire anyone but other Mexicans. The places might not even reopen. We don't know yet. Their reopening or not has been speculation so far. Word is they grabbed about 50 illegals and might be rounding up some more.

Yes, ICE was doing its job.

If a business can't survive without illegals it's not worth it.

Bull crap. My first job while still in high school was washing dishes in a Mexican restaurant for minimum wage. I'm white of European decent and don't even look Hispanic. The restaurant was owned and operated by a Mexican American.
Of course, this is before the flood of illegals into CA.

High risk (deportable) high reward (very low wages) for those business owners. I guess that's what happens when you hire illegals.

Keep in mind, even the hardworking illegal aliens are just hardworking thieves - they steal American jobs and siphon from welfare which should be used for Americans.
I don't see it this way. I see it as those that hire them doing that.

Deport ALL illegals , and put able body people on welfare back to work. Supply and demand means more pay for them once the illegals are out.
Impossible. I do not understand why people who claim to not be for this continue to demand the impossible happen to address the issue.
