[quote=Anonymous]One of the ICE raid's under this new administration resulted in AFrican Americans getting jobs at higher pay.

I'm glad I don't need to work in a chicken plant but if it meant $4 more an hour than my previous job and I needed it I would be glad to get it.

But Mr. Grant clearly remembered Aug. 7, the day the Trump administration performed sweeping immigration raids on seven chicken plants in central Mississippi. He remembered the news flashing on his phone: 680 Hispanic workers arrested. He remembers seeing an opportunity.

“I figured there should be some jobs,” he said.

He figured right.
......
Then there was Mr. Grant, only two years out of high school and still finding his way in the world. He said it felt good to be earning $11.23 an hour, even if the new job entailed cutting off necks and pulling out guts on a seemingly endless conveyor of carcasses. It was about $4 better, he said, than what he used to earn at a Madison County cookie factory. [/quote]
