By SOPHIA TAREEN and COLLEEN LONG The Trump administration is moving forward with a nationwide immigration enforcement operation targeting migrant families, despite loud opposition from Democrats and questions over whether it's the best use of resources given the crisis at the border.
The operation could happen as soon as this weekend after being postponed by President Donald Trump late last month. It would pursue people with final deportation orders, including families whose immigration cases were fast-tracked by judges in 10 major cities such as Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and Miami.
It's all theater. Neither party wants illegals out of the US. If they did they could stop 90% of it over night by just making it a criminal offense with a $100,000+ fine and 2+ years in jail for hiring an illegal. No one wants to go to jail to save a few dollars by hiring an illegal so the demand would dry up and they would have to leave/stop coming.

Mexicans are gross, poor and ugly.

Do you really think they will start Sunday .. Or was that. DJT trying to throw off the Ds and get them to out themselves helping illegals

if they ever actually do this watch wages rise another dollar because of it. Trump is doing more to raise real wages than the last six presidents and I din't even vote for him. Fuck a wage floor. If you want more moeny you can definatly get it right now. You don't need to be a fast food worker anymore. kitchens are desperate. so if you stay a fast food worker in this economy thats on you that you stayed at that wage. improve your skills and shop your time on the labor market, advantage is labor right now. even more so if they actually ever do this.

If they were really doing it, they wouldn't announce it. By announcing that they will do, and when they'll do it gives people ample time to move things around and pretend they didn't do anything.
Now if this is all just a trap to catch people assisting illegals, sure it would work. But if it's not? Well then, I'm glad I'm moving out of this fucking city as it's a safe haven for illegals – yet, it's not safe for the homeless or the poor for some reason.

This illegal immigrants are cheap labor, it doesn't matter your party. If less money goes into paying your workers, that means more money for you
