Arrest and jail the people hiring them. Hotel owners. Restaurant owners. Big agricultural company owners. Construction company owners.

Put those people in prison and there will be no more illegal migration to the US. Problem solved.

But that's not going to happen. Republicans love this issue. They will exploit it for all it's worth. No one is closing that border. Republicans love the cheap labor and the crisis visuals. But you don't hear Kevin McCarthy calling for the arrests of the owners of Motel 6 and various slaughterhouses. Or construction companies. Or farmers. Or landscaping companies.

The Republican base are exactly the people exploiting cheap migrant labor. They are the cause of the problem.

I hope you didn't mean to exclude Democrats from those employing cheap labor.

Um, which Democrat politician is calling for the arrest of business owner who hire illegals? None.

Why are Democrats fighting against E-verify???

Except the Dems did in fact pass legislation on multiple occasions, that the GOP rejected or refused to even bring to the floor. So no, this is not a "both sides" thing. The Senate passed bi-partisan legislation that Obama said he would sign. Speaker Ryan refused to allow it to toe House floor, so please stop with the nonsense.

the GOP wants it as a wedge issue and has no intention of addressing it, all while big GOP businesses pay "illegals" slave wages under the table.

Included in Dems' proposals is ALWAYS granting amnesty to millions here already.
That is not going to happen. That is a magnet for more illegal entries.
IOW - the Dems are not interested in securing the border... only interested in bringing in more voters for them.

NP. PP who says the GOP wants it as a wedge issue is 100% correct. Refusing to even bring it to the floor, refusing to negotiate… these are the signs of a party that need to keep their voting idiots whipped up.

And they’d base keeps falling for it instead of demanding they do something about it.

Why aren't we making worker visas available for all of these needed workers?

Deport the migrants. They entered illegally. Send them back. Problem solved.

Democrats hate America. They don’t care about our laws. That’s why they all voted for open borders — and Democrats are KEEPING the borders OPEN. Democrats are fine with the 83,000 missing children. Why?

House already passed a HR for dealing with the migrants back in may.

https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/2/summary/00

It includes e-verify requirements.

I've researched boats and looked up things, but can someone please explain to me what open borders means and how we know we have them and how we know every Democrat voted for them because I can't find any facts on that.
Wouldn't Canada's borders be considered open because they also don't have a wall? Is that what we are talking about?

I'm sorry. It's the Republicans that hate America. They refuse to arrest the business owners exploiting cheap migrant labor. Slaughterhouses are hiring 12 year old migrants from Central America. Don't see a single Republican asking for the arrest of the owners of Packer Sanction Services in Nebraska. 100 children. Where is the Republican outrage?

It's not there.

Republicans love exploiting cheap migrant labor, including children. Until we start arresting and jailing business owners that are abusing migrant labor, nothing is going to change. Everything else is just noise.

You can tell election season is coming by the number of posts that are getting bumped with right wing talking points and fear mongering.

Children usually arrive in the United States with some idea of who might take them in: either a parent or sibling or, about half the time, a more distant relative or family friend. While parents and siblings often support the children who come to live with them, other adults are more likely to take children in only on the condition that they work and pay rent. Of the dozens of children who have been released to sponsors in and around Parksley during the past three years, more than 90 percent have gone to adults who are not their parents.

LOL, no it is the GOP governors who are amending the child labor laws in the US that enable companies to do this. That isn't a Biden thing. That is a Gov Sanders of Ark, Gov DeSantis of FL, Gov Youngkin of VA etc who are responsible. And also, the GOP owned companies that hire these children.

Biden sent more back in two years than Trump did in 4. Obama sent more back in 4 yeas that W did in 8. The Dems are the ones who deport.

I love how the GOP is now blaming Democrats for child labor laws considering Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Kim Reynolds. Both completely gutted child protections in their states..... Checking notes..... Both Republican

This is your talking point? Really?
Do you know WHY Biden sent more back? Because millions more came - on his invitation - than would dare to enter during the Trump administration.
When you have over 7 million migrants entering our country in under 3 years, OF COURSE there will be more deportations.
But, you know what else Biden has more of?

He has:
- more releases into our country - some with no notice to appear.
- more migrant deaths
- more got-aways
- more deadly fentanyl

This is such a BS argument.
First off, federal law prohibits anyone under 18 from working in meat packing plants which was featured in the article

And, here are the changes.......they are not "gutted." And, if you think they are, then talk to the NJ or the Minnesota governors.

Arkansas:
Under the Youth Hiring Act of 2023, children under 16 don't have to get the Division of Labor's permission to be employed. The state also no longer has to verify the age of those under 16 before they take a job. The law doesn't change the hours or kinds of jobs kids can work.

"The Governor believes protecting kids is most important, but this permit was an arbitrary burden on parents to get permission from the government for their child to get a job," Sanders' communications director Alexa Henning said in a statement to NPR. "All child labor laws that actually protect children still apply and we expect businesses to comply just as they are required to do now."

https://www.npr.org/2023/03/10/1162531885/arkansas-child-labor-law-under-16-years-old-sarah-huckabee-sanders

Arkansas also passed Act 687 during the legislative session which provides enhanced civil and criminal penalties for child labor law violations.

Iowa:

If signed by Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds – who has expressed support for the measure – the bill would allow 14- and 15-year-olds to work two additional hours per day when school is in session, from four to six hours. They would also be able to work until 9 p.m. during most of the year and until 11 p.m. from June 1 to Labor Day, two hours later than previously allowed. The bill would also allow 16- and 17-year-olds to work the same hours as an adult.

https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/03/politics/iowa-child-labor-bill-passes/index.html

And, if you believe these are extreme, consider NJ:

In New Jersey, teens no longer need parental consent to obtain work permits, and those 16- and 17-year-olds are allowed to work up to 50 hours a week — up to 10 hours each day — when they aren’t in school. The bill signed into law by Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy also updates the hours 14- and 15-year-olds can work — a total of 40 hours a week during the summer months.

Or, Minmesota:
Minnesota lawmakers introduced a bill to roll back requirements that bar 16- and-17-year-olds from working in construction.
