A Mexican national living illegally in Mission, Texas, has been arrested for allegedly running an operation that hired and harbored illegal aliens at a local taco restaurant. According to the Department of Justice (DOJ), Juan Ramirez Cortez, 39, was taken into custody on July 10 after a coordinated investigation led by the FBI in collaboration with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Homeland Security, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Department of Public Safety. Cortez now stands accused of reportedly knowingly employing illegal aliens without any authorization to work in the U.S. while managing the Ole Taco restaurant in Mission, Texas.

[Verse 1]
Who can turn the world on with her smile?
Who can take a nothing day
And suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?
[Pre-Chorus]
Well it's you, girl, and you should know it
With each glance and every little movement you show it
[Chorus]
Love is all around
(Why don't you make it?)
You can have this town
(Why don't you take it?)
You're gonna make it after all

@#25 ... And holding the responsible people responsible. ...
Yup.
An excerpt from the Border Patrol Union webpage that was deleted during Pres Trump's first term:

Walls and fences are temporary solutions that focus on the symptom (illegal immigration) rather than the problem (employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens).
Walls and fences are only a speed bump. People who want to come to the United States to obtain employment will continue to go over, under, and around the walls and fences that are constructed.
Walls and fences will undoubtedly result in an increase in fraudulent documents and smuggling through the Ports of Entry.
Walls and fences do not solve the issue of people entering the country legally and staying beyond the date they are required to leave the country, a problem which will undoubtedly increase as more walls and fences are constructed.
Walls and fences are temporary solutions that focus on the symptom (illegal immigration) rather than the problem (employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens).
Yup.
The problem is the employers who hire and give incentive for illegal aliens to come into the US.

Lyrics excerpt ...
...
Well I was driving down I-95 the other night
When somebody nearly cut me right off the road
I decided it wasn't going to do any good to get mad
So I wrote a song about him instead. It goes like this...
Were you bo-rn an -------, or did you work at it your whole life?
Either way it worked out fine, 'cause you're an ------- tonight
Yes you're an -------, and don't you try to blame it on me
You deserve all the credit, you're an ------- tonight
You were an ------- yesterday, you're an ------- tonight
And I've got a feeling, you'll be an ------- the rest of your life
And I was talking to your mother, just the other night
I told her I thought you were an -------, she said "yes, I think you're right"
...
"...with zero understanding of how things actually work"
That hilarious coming from ol' stinkerbell.
"Slave wage - under the table, below minimums would be an example. Exploitive Wages or working conditions would be another."
You're in the wrong party for that.
Republicans don't even support state minimum wages as a concept to begin with.
Meanwhile, in California,
The minimum wage for agricultural workers in California is currently $15.50 per hour.
