THIS^^^^^^^ has always been the problem. The owners get away with exploiting these people with low wages and no benefits, then when the place gets raided only the workers get arrested. I asked a repub about this one time and he laughed at me for my "stupid questions". I told him he was the "stupid one" for being a fucking hypocrite!!! Yes, I called him a fucking hypocrite to his face and it felt good.
I've been saying exactly this for decades.
Go after the employers. Don't penalize the people who WANT to work.
Penalize the assholes who hire them so they won't have to pay a decent
wage, OR payroll taxes.
I do more than that I call them Trumpanzees and terrorists to their faces.... Along with a few other things they don't like.
