I always go back to the Tyson Chicken raids a few years ago to show just how broken this is.

ICE officials raided a few facilities a few years ago, and actually found about 900 undocumented workers.

Many of them gave evidence to officials, including written instructions from the company that advised them how to fill out employment, banking, taxation paperwork if they "didn't have documentation", i.e. Tyson didn't just know this was the case, they were actively enabling it.

And in press conferences, when journalists asked about any plans to investigate/punish Tyson, ICE "had no plans to do so".

What it actually ended up looking like, with some other safety issues raised around that time is that Tyson perhaps decided their undocumented workers were getting a little too angry about poor safety standards, and making waves. It would be entirely unsurprising if Tyson made a sweetheart deal with ICE that said "Hey, if you come to these plants, you'll get to make this big stink about undocumented workers" (and remember, this was during the Trump administration), "but in return, can you leave us out of it?".

"Won't someone rid me of these meddlesome workers?"

When the government did crack down on a big employer of illegal immigrants, in 2008, there were screams. A prominent Jew did go to jail for years, until pardoned by Trump. That was the last time enforcement got serious.

It's pretty weird you mention the race of the perpetrator.
