“Effective today, please hold on all work site enforcement investigations/operations on agriculture (including aquaculture and meat packing plants), restaurants and operating hotels,” King wrote in the guidance, according to the outlet. "
Isn’t this an admission that immigrants, yes even undocumented ones, are a key critical piece in our economy? That getting rid of them hurts those that are not immigrants too? Most importantly, our way of life which we so enjoy cannot exist if they are not a part of it. Immigrants are not our enemies, as we are also a nation of immigrants.
