Cruelty is the objective, because the America is unwilling to enact the laws that will most effectively stem immigration. These are:
1. Make it illegal to hire undocumented immigrants.
2. Foreign specialists need to earn at least an x% above industry standard (to prove they are specialists).
These laws will obviously not fly among corporate donors. Trump will also never deport all illegals because of how much hospitality and agriculture rely on them. In the end it is all show and spectacle. That's what all the tactical gear is for.
- slackfan 1mo ago>1. Make it illegal to hire undocumented immigrants. It is, in fact, illegal to hire undocumented immigrants. Federal offense actually. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1324a https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1324a >2. Foreign specialists need to earn at least an x% above industry standard (to prove they are specialists). The current standard is that they should earn the pervailing wage, so at minimum average. I agree that they should earn at least 200+% more, however. I don't think your cruelty argument holds.
