I I live in Minneapolis. When I heard about Wrecktangle’s anti-ICE policy, I made a note to myself to never eat at that restaurant. I will never buy their pizza. And those idiots will never know how many potential customers they have lost.
There was a Thai restaurant, Curry in a Hurry, just a few blocks away from our home in Lake Oswego, Oregon. It was a convenient spot for a quick, tasty meal.
Much to our surprise, in December of 2018, the owner, Paul Jumroon and his wife, Tanya, pleaded guilty to charges of immigration-related forced labor, visa fraud and filing false tax returns. He was sentenced to 37 months in prison and required to pay $251,000 in fines and restitution.
What Jumroon and his wife did was lure four chefs from Thailand to work in his restaurant with promises of American visas and lies about how much money they could earn.
When the chefs arrived, Jumroon confiscated their passports and travel documents. He then threatened and bullied them into working long hours for little pay.
You just never know the details about those hard workers in ethnic restaurants.
Bear in mind, David, that there are employers who do this and actually pay substantially LESS than minimum wage minus taxes to their illegal employees, knowing full well that those workers won't report them.
This occurs with regularity in new home construction. A sub-contractor might need to have, say, five new houses in a subdivision tiled asap. If he can find an illegal crew of four who can start immediately, he'll offer to pay half midway through the project and half when completed to specs.
Sometimes they do great work though; it probably depends mostly on the operation. Our first taste of this came a decade ago when we had our roof redone. Everyone who showed up was Hispanic (presumably Mexican). They were very professional and their work was excellent, but at the time I thought it odd that only the foreman spoke English. I had no concept then that I was witnessing the first few drops of a tidal wave.
That wasn't my point. But I'll admit that their technical mastery of the trades is generally lacking.
The point I was making is that no one is doing illegals, or the downstream purchasers of their labors (customers and buyers) any favors by allowing them to work here while not legally present.
Excellent work. I remember when my landlords decided to have our roof replaced. It seemed obvious that they were using cheap labor in the form of illegal immigrants. They tore up the roof, threw trash on the sidewalk and hit both me and my neighbor with a heavy extension cord. I got a bruise. No safety precautions for the workers or the public. And the roof leaked after they “finished.”
The day before yesterday, T-Mobile decided to lay cable all along my side of the street. There were a dozen workers and I had questions. EVERY ONE of them was a foreigner who didn't speak English. They did a crappy job and we homeowners are stuck repairing the damage.
Shame on anyone who puts the welfare of illegal-alien-invaders over Legal U.S Citizens. Let ICE do their job and run the invaders OUT of the U.S.A.
This is becoming the norm in everything. So long as our criminal corporations keep hiring aliens illegally, those people will leave their dismal, criminally-controlled countries for a better life here. Try getting a new roof or siding in Minnesota and see who shows up. The janitorial staff everywhere now seem to be extremely-recently-arrived foreigners. Days ago I visited a Walmart in Eden Prairie, MN. I don't think I saw a single employee who wasn't Somali, and the one from whom I tried to get help spoke little or no English. Months earlier while on vacation I visited a Walmart in Auburn, ME, and the "associates" there were almost all Hispanic, and the one that I asked for help spoke no English; she held a phone to my face, and at the time I didn't realize it was probably running a translation app. Where are the criminal prosecutions of our corporate leaders? As long as we keep avoiding this, we are becoming a dismal, criminally-controlled country ourselves.
Do you mean that, in addition to the benefits described in the article, employers also aren't paying to insure their illegal employees? Yeah, I wasn't even thinking about that. I guess that if your illegal construction worker gets injured and you haven't insured him then you just call ICE and have him removed, as though the whole thing never happened. Problem solved!
Well that is interesting if it is true. It seems to me that an illegal alien who has been granted an SS# is no longer "undocumented" and therefore would be regarded as having been officially granted permission to be here. But when it comes to the unfathomable criminality of Joe Biden, who can say?
Actually, with all the various government benefits handed out to many of Biden's "newcomers" how can they be deemed "undocumented." Hell, they are probably more "documented" than I am. Ha!
I wouldn't be too sure. There are entire rural towns having their ethnic compositions changed overnight, regardless of residents' preferences or concerns. Agribusiness has been modifying our population nationally for decades, and much of its workforce is decidedly not here legally. Example: do a search on "Willmar immigrants" (without quotes).

Guess which half never gets paid?
Yet another, and worse, ersatz form of "virtue".
Anything built by illegal-alien-invaders is crap. I've seen videos on YouTube of those
"new home construction" houses. They're held together with duct tape and glue. Nothing is fitted correctly.

Great post! Nice job. Thank you.

Excellent article Dave. But I believe workers compensation is being overlooked. That's huge in the new home construction industry.

5.5 Million of Biden's "newcomers" were given Social Security numbers. https://dianelgruber.substack.com/p/elon-musk-reveals-shocking-surge?utm_source=publication-search

This is very well presented.
I bet 7-11 is not happy about this
The Twin Cities are dead but Greater Minnesota yet thrives.
