The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

What were all those illegals doing there working at this company in the first place? Why wasn't workplace enforcement taking place?

He said the raids are simply racial profiling and sweeping up everyone- US citizens and undocumented alike. I’m not opposing the right of the government to detain undocumented workers, though the tactic employed appears to be more aimed at harming the economy of California.

Which brings me back to the second part of my question: Are these raids occurring in red states? Undocumented workers are spread pretty evenly across the country. They work on farms in Texas and California and in restaurants from Miami to Chicago.

Are these raids also taking place in Miami and Texas? Or are they only going to take place in places like California and Chicago?

We already know that Trump has threatened to withhold disaster funds from California . Is he trying to destroy that state’s economy as well?
