re: #178 Unshaken Defiance

Call me crazy but first on my policy change list is actually prosecute employers of those not entitled to work. When they scream tight labor, open up the quotas to where we get the labor we need, and deal with all fairly. Due process etc etc. California knows how to do this, when seasonal workers have confidence of access they don’t try to settle near the work, at least not illegally.

Charles, you know those quaint places in Ventura like Piru? Founded in the days I speak of and the bosses settled but not the workers. Citrus groves for miles and miles back when. It’s hard not to scream when you know how this can work, how it should rather than this shitshow.

i’ve been saying this for 20 years
it’s right there in the instructions to the I-9
cut the ‘demand’ and make the supply ‘legitimate’

it’s the employers that are skimming and scamming everybody
if you work you pay taxes, get (some) benefits, and workplace protections
