ICE raids expected in Lincoln and Crete NE today

[1WorldHope]

I got this info from a neighbor and I don't know how they know. But since ICE was in Omaha yesterday it makes sense. Spread the word the focus is roofers and I assume meat packing in Crete.

1. Who will do those jobs if they are deported? nt

2. People who need roofers and meat packers are about to find out.

5. Yup. Our HOA put new siding on the townhomes in my

development. That gave me a chance to practice my Spanish. Oddly, I didn't ask the siding workers if they were documented. They worked fast and well on the job. I guess that's enough for me.

6. Lots of roofing and other home exterior stuff going on in my neighborhood, too.

I walk around the neighborhood every day and I haven't heard a word of English coming from any of those crews. These residential construction workers (undocumented or otherwise; ICE doesn't care) are probably pretty safe for now; the raids so far are on places where a lot of folks can be rounded up all at once to make Stephen "Goebbels" Miller's quotas. But before long that will probably change, and nobody will be able to get a roof built or repaired, or crops harvested, or restaurant dishes washed, or hotel beds made, or any of that "invisible" cheap labor we take for granted.

7. I'm guessing it will be nine year old children who want to keep a roof over their family's heads.

Just as it was planned.

10. There are only wage slaves. No citizens, "legal" or otherwise, want to take the jobs. Your RW talking point fails. . nt

12. Bye. nt

14. Are you enjoying your stay? Enjoy it while you can.

[GP6971]

13. Well OK then. We can look forward to seeing in line applying for one

of those jobs. Right?

[GP6971]

16. But will you do these jobs today? I doubt it.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

19. It's not the job, it's the dismal low pay that is offensive. Go ahead, take a $10/hr job w your "STEM degree"

You are talking through your hat.

[GP6971]

21. So no penalty for the employers?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

22. You push another reich-wing talking point. It is not a surplus labour supply.

It is a fully employed labour supply. Unemployment in the US is holding steady. The labour market is tight. People aren't even swapping jobs.

Nobody among the "tons of teens/20 somethings with plenty of time" you claim to be familiar with is going to move to Nebraska because $10/hr jobs suddenly become $15/hour jobs.

And your male supremacy slip is showing the way you assume only males work there.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

17. "Legals" is reich-wing framing and language. Are the library computers available today? You reveal yourself. . . . nt

24. They are being paid and not forced to do it

[abbeyco]

3. Action against Don Bacon

for speaking out that he won’t be a rubber stamp on felon47’s full agenda? Seems about right to me as he’s hateful, petty & vindictive. However, it won’t be the business who get dinged for hiring these workers…

[1WorldHope]

4. I feel so helpless. I call the reps and senators but they are all R's.

Do Republicans have any heart? Talk about shooting yourself in the bread basket. I guess cruelty has no common sense.

[Wingus Dingus]

8. Hope those who knowingly employ undocumented workers are arrested for human trafficking.

Oh wait, that won't happen. LOL.
