Undocumented immigration is the very definition of a victimless crime. They are not taking your tax dollars. They are not eligible for social security. They are not responsible for the jobs crisis, greed and automation is. They pay millions of dollars into social programs they don't benefit from. They are nothing more than the rich and elites scapegoat for all the problems they caused us.

Yet despite this, my home state of Missouri has introduced bill SB72. This bill does a number of things, for starters it changes undocumented immigration from a civil crime to a felony. This prohibits undocumented immigrants from EVER applying for citizenship or a visa.

Additionally, making the crime a felony now means it's punishable by jail time rather than deportation. So, how much jail time does this bill recommend for the crime of undocumented immigration? LIFE IMPRISIONMENT WITH NO CHANCE FOR PAROLE, PROBATION, OR EARLY RELEASE. They don't want these people out of the country, they want them enslaved in Missouri's labor camps.

And if that wasn't bad enough, this bill allows for what they're calling "Missouri Illegal Alien Certified Bounty Hunters". They are proposing paying citizens $1,000 per person they report to the government as undocumented.

Below, I've attached the official bill summary from the Missouri State Senate website. The sick sack of shit sponsoring this bill is Missouri Senator David Gregory

In case anyone somehow doesn't know: Fruits and vegetables are about to get very scarce and very expensive for anyone who lives in the United States. The deportations have started, and farmworkers are now not showing up to work. Enjoy your fruits and vegetables now, because soon you won't be able to afford them, assuming they're available at all.

Personally, the humanitarian aspect of this is the most concerning to me, but in case you don't give a shit about all the suffering that human beings are now facing because of these deportations, you should know the ways this will personally affect you. Undocumented workers are the backbone of our economy, and we're about to feel the loss, from fruits and vegetables, to new construction, to fucking dishwashers. If you voted for this, you're going to suffer along with the rest of us.

Dark days ahead. And behind, for that matter.

"California will begin paying for free legal help with immigration for undocumented farmworkers who are involved in state investigations of wage theft or other labor violations, Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office announced this week.

The $4.5 million pilot program will provide qualifying farmworkers with referrals for legal help with their immigration status. 

Roughly half of California’s farmworker population is believed to be undocumented. Fear of deportation and difficulties finding jobs can discourage workers from filing labor complaints or serving as witnesses in cases alleging unsafe work temperatures, wage theft, or employer retaliation for unionizing, officials said...

Respecting immigrant rights

Farmworkers in labor investigations who qualify for the new state program will receive a direct referral to legal services organizations that already offer immigration services, such as the Community Action Board of Santa Cruz County or the United Farm Workers Foundation, which spoke in support of the program. 

The free legal services workers could receive include case review, legal advice and representation by an attorney, according to Newsom’s office...

Deferred deportation

State officials said the pilot program aligns with a new Biden administration policy that makes it easier for undocumented workers who are victims of labor rights violations to request deferred action from deportation. Because the federal Department of Homeland Security can’t respond to all immigration violations, it exercises “prosecutorial discretion” to decide who to try to deport.

State officials said they won’t ask for workers’ immigration status, but noncitizens granted this deferred action may be eligible for work authorization.

This year, California labor department officials began supporting undocumented workers’ requests for prosecutorial discretion or deferred action from federal immigration officials, including when employers threaten workers with immigration enforcement to prevent workers from cooperating with state investigators. 

“The Department of Industrial Relations’ Labor Commissioner’s Office … was the first state agency to request deferred action from DHS for employees in an active investigation, and that request was successful,” Hickey said. “This is an important process for undocumented workers to be aware of.”"

I am so sorry, but I saw the undocumented immigrants post you had, and these are the arguments I fight every holiday with my mostly Republican family, so if you are not a source, or don't know, my apologies.

But, can you explain this undocumented-means-no-benefits-yet-taxes-paid vs the mentality that undocumented means not paying taxes? If I could just grasp this, or see a documentary on it, maybe I can educate this season instead of pulling my hair?

Normally I google, but I must be using the wrong key words?

Not paying taxes while working in the US gets you sent to jail, for a very long time. (Unless you're an old rich white man with expensive lawyers like Donald Trump, which is an entirely different problem...) Getting caught as an undocumented immigrant gets you deported, which is preferable to a decade in a US jail. Undocumented immigrants are therefore strongly encouraged by a variety of immigrant-positive bodies to ensure they pay taxes.

As this website says: Section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code states that the IRS is not authorized to release taxpayer information to other government agencies

The IRS is specifically prohibited by US law from sharing information on people who are paying taxes while not being legal residents. Undocumented people can safely pay taxes without fear of it leading to deportation.

Here's another website giving the same guidelines.

Of course, undocumented workers have none of the protections of legal citizens. They have no guarantee of minimum wage, sick pay, paid leave, or any of the other federal protections, because who are they going to complain to if they don't get them? They get no health insurance, which usually comes with a job in the US, because they don't have a social security number. So, yes, the majority of undocumented immigrants are paying their taxes, but getting none of the the benefits that come with being a legal resident.

An estimated tens of thousands of third-country nationals live and work in the Netherlands without having permits, the Labor Inspectorate told Nieuwsuur. It increasingly encounters these undocumented migrants from outside the European Union during its inspections. According to the Inspectorate, a large proportion of third-country nationals work here illegally in the construction, agriculture and horticulture, meat processing, and hospitality sectors. Others end up in informal employment, for example, working as a babysitter or cleaner at people’s homes. “Where we used to see mainly Eastern Europeans, we now increasingly see third-country nationals working in various sectors,” May Verstappen of the Labor Inspectorate told the current affairs program. This group is at high risk of being exploited, she added. “But because they are here illegally, it is difficult to check whether this is the case.” The Inspectorate is encountering many Brazilians in particular. It has no official figures but estimates that around 35,000 Brazilians are working without a permit in the Amsterdam region alone. The Inspectorate is also encountering many Georgians during its investigations into abuses in the labor market.

"the government would establish two genders" Biology did that first. "queer folks have no need to be scared" Communists SHOULD be scared. Queer is not a sexual preference, it is an ideology, it is marxism dressed in a pride flag. Nobody gives a fuck about gays or lesbians. What adults do in private is their business. But "Queers" started touching the kids. Not sure if they really thought that one through. Maybe the lust overwhelmed them. It's not gonna lick itself, after all.

"fucking losing it" Yes, you are mentally ill. Look, all you need to do is what other Leftists are doing. Move to China, and tell them you intend to trans their kids. I am assured by Leftist Rednote that they really love Leftists, and it is the cool thing to leave immediately. Don't even bother with a passport. After all, it's only the racists who care about illegal immigration, and non-whites can't be racist, amiright?

Ain’t no way Trump just said the government would establish two genders: male and female, in his inauguration speech, and people are still trying to say that queer folks have no need to be scared 😭 fucking losing it

Let’s do some critical thinking here.

The administration wants undocumented workers to leave the United States. Undocumented workers are valuable resources that labor on our farms, our construction projects, our restaurants, our hospitals, and in our factories. They pay taxes and contribute to the economy, and for the most part, they do the jobs that Americans don’t want to do.

Instead of throwing them out, put together a robust system to find them and vet them. If they have a criminal record, they get tossed out. If they commit a crime while here, they get tossed out. If they have a job and their employer verifies their employment, then they get a work permit and are allowed to stay to contribute to our economy. If they lose their jobs then they don’t get to file for unemployment even though they paid into it. They can’t vote but they have to pay taxes on their earnings like the rest of us.

So instead of realizing how fortunate we are to have them here, we send them back to the country they came from. In addition, we now want to take away the jobs in their own country that encourages them to stay there by refusing to buy their products because we want them made here. But we don’t have the people to make those products because we tossed them out and Americans don’t want to work those jobs anyway.

So, stop the border crossings, vet the humans that are here. Continue to buy products from other countries so they can build their own economies. And while we’re at it, provide day care for all Americans so they can afford to have children so our population can grow from within. Provide universal health care so Americans can be healthy. And follow Denmark’s lead by funding education past high school so Americans can compete intellectually with the rest of the world. Let’s not forget that our country was built on the backs of migrants from all over the world. None of our ancestors originated here.
