I live near Jackson, MS They deported a bunch of asians that worked in mid-grade Hibachi restaurants in May of 2017. Literally around 100 at a dozen local places. That shit barely even hit the news. There's 5 closed restaurants near me now because they literally wiped out the entire staff of those places.
EDIT: My point isn't whether or not they should have been deported, but just how wild it is that they didn't breathe more than a passing word about this in the news.
I was watching news coverage on this, and someone asked about the companies that hired these illegal immigrants facing any consequences. A study from Syracuse University showed that since 2018 11 employers were charged, 7 went to trial, 3 people served jail time. In that same period of time 8500 illegal immigrants were charged... I would say it’s a bit disproportionate.
Edit:
I’ll update the figures in my comment if they are inaccurate but need to read the study first.
