"But undocumented parents of U.S.-born children, if picked up by immigration authorities, face the risk of losing custody of their children. Without a power-of-attorney document or a guardianship outlining who will take care of the children left behind, the children go into the U.S. foster care system, making it harder for the parents to regain custody of their children in the future."

Programs like #DACA are "pull factors".
Not punishing American businesses who hire undocumented labour is another compounding "pull factor."

Illegal immigration will always be an issue. They prefer white, European immigrants. That should be very clear.

#Farmers in #Wisconsin have historically been staunch Republican. Liking USDA programs that cater to them and resentful of parcel taxes that pay for local government services such as public schools. Liking #Undocumented #Labor - as long as they live in the shadows. Twenty or so Midwestern US Senators - mostly Republican - have historically looked after "their" ag sector. No more: they're afraid of Tangerine Turd - whose henchmen are gleefully wrecking everything.

Calling all restaurant workers and owners: Eater has got you covered #immigration #ICE
“'The lives of #immigrants and U.S.-born residents are deeply intertwined, and it is not possible to target #undocumented immigrants without harming citizens and U.S. residents and immigrants of other statuses too,' says Hahn. 'Everything that they are doing is impractical, destructive, costly, it’s going to hurt our #economy. And immigrants are essential members of our #communities.'”

"'They used us,' the #Venezuelan activist Adelys Ferro told NPR. “During the campaign, the elected officials from the #Republican Party, they told us he was not going to touch #documented people. They said, ‘No, it is with #undocumented people.' In fact, both #Trump and Vice President #JDVance said they wanted to deport people legally allowed in the country. Some voters just convinced themselves their own groups wouldn’t become targets."

Hey my fellow USians, as you’re writing your leopards-eating-faces posts about how red state residents now have to pick their own crops for low wages because they kicked out the undocumented immigrants…

…remember that IT IS ACTUALLY NOT OK for undocumented immigrants to be paid shit wages. Don’t fall into the bigoted and xenophobic idea that undocumented immigrants are beneficial *because* they make shit wages.

Crop pickers deserve living wages, because everyone deserves living wages.
