About damn time: Immigration agents raid dozens of 7-Eleven stores

[DaddyHemlock]

You obviously care- it’s why you keep replying. Each country you talking about on the same rock and humanity has one destiny. You think too small for me to keep talking too, that comment just reinforces it.

OK, I see you are still trying your leftist "moral high road" talk but not getting an inch of progress with me, chappy.

I am not an Immigrant , No one in my family line is an Immigrant . A Immigrant is someone who makes a personal decision to move somewhere of their own free will.
My family history is in the congressional record. My Family History starts at the Fayetteville NC slave market in 1814.
I have ZERO care for Immigrants. They can all be thrown over the border.

You can goto almost any country and they will let you stay for 90 days. Hang around past the 91st day & you will have problems.
Why is the US the place where people act like they have the right to stay for ever

Every person on the planet is a citizen of somewhere. EVERY somewhere has a President-PrimeMinister-Dictator who is responsible for that place & it's citizens.
If you the Citizen is NOT happy complain to that person or become that person or fix what you do not like there.
America should only be concerned about it's own citizens and no others.

Immigration agents raid dozens of 7-Eleven stores

• Agents targeted about 100 7-Eleven stores nationwide to open employment audits and interview workers.
• The move broadens an investigation that began with a 4-year-old case against a franchisee in Long Island, New York.
• The action appears to open a new front in Trump's sharp expansion of immigration enforcement, which has already brought a 40 percent increase in deportation arrests.

U.S. immigration agents descended on dozens of 7-Eleven stores before dawn Wednesday to open employment audits and interview workers in what officials described as the largest operation against an employer underDonald Trump's presidency.

Agents targeted about 100 stores nationwide, broadening an investigation that began with a 4-year-old case against a franchisee onNew York's Long Island. The audits could lead to criminal charges or fines over the stores' hiring practices.

The action appears to open a new front in Trump's sharp expansion of immigration enforcement, which has already brought a 40 percent increase in deportation arrests and plans to spend billions of dollars on a border wall withMexico. Hardliners have been pressing for a tougher stance on employers.

Derek Benner, a top official at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, told The Associated Press that Wednesday's operation was "the first of many" and "a harbinger of what's to come" for employers. He said there would be more employment audits and investigations, though there is no numerical goal.

"This is what we're gearing up for this year and what you're going to see more and more of is these large-scale compliance inspections, just for starters. From there, we will look at whether these cases warrant an administrative posture or criminal investigation," said Benner, acting head of ICE's Homeland Security Investigations, which oversees cases against employers.

"It's not going to be limited to large companies or any particular industry, big medium and small," he said. "It's going to be inclusive of everything that we see out there."

7-Eleven Stores Inc., based in Irving, Texas, with more than 8,600 stores in the U.S., didn't immediately respond to a message seeking comment.

Though agents arrested 21 people suspected of being in the country illegally during Wednesday's sweep, the action was aimed squarely at management.

Illegal hiring is rarely prosecuted, partly because investigations are time-consuming and convictions are difficult to achieve because employers can claim they were duped by fraudulent documents or intermediaries. Administrative fines are discounted by some as a business cost.

George W. Bush's administration aggressively pursued criminal investigations against employers in its final years with dramatic pre-dawn shows of force and large numbers of worker arrests. In 2008, agents arrived by helicopter at the Agriprocessors meatpacking plant in Postville, Iowa, and detained nearly 400 workers. Last month, Trump commuted the 27-year prison sentence of Sholom Rubashkin, former chief executive of what was the nation's largest kosher meatpacking operation.

Barack Obama's administration more than doubled employer audits to more than 3,100 a year in 2013, shunning Bush's flashier approach. John Sandweg, an acting ICE director under Obama, said significant fines instilled fear in employers and draining resources from other enforcement priorities.

Trump is pursuing "its own kind of unique strategy" tied to its broader emphasis on fighting illegal immigration, including enforcement on the border, Benner said. Some workers may get arrested in the operations but authorities are targeting employers because they are job magnets for people to come to the country illegally.

"We need to make sure that employers are on notice that we are going to come out and ensure that they're being compliant," Benner said "For those that don't, we're going to take some very aggressive steps in terms of criminal investigations to make sure that we address them and hold them accountable."

Wednesday's operation resulted from a 2013 investigation that resulted in charges against nine 7-Eleven franchisees and managers in New York and Virginia. Eight have pleaded guilty and were ordered to pay more than $2.6 million in back wages, and the ninth was arrested in November.

In the 2013 investigations, managers used more than 25 stolen identities to employ at least 115 people in the country illegally, knowing they could pay below minimum wage, according to court documents. The documents say 7-Eleven corporate office does automated payroll, requiring franchisees provide employee names and Social Security numbers to pay workers through direct deposit or check.

The 7-Eleven stores served on Wednesday will be required to produce documents showing they required work authorization, which Benner said will become more common. Audits may lead to criminal charges or administrative penalties.

In Los Angeles' Koreatown, seven agents arriving in three unmarked cars closed a store for 20 minutes to explain the audit to the only employee there, a clerk with a valid green card. Agents, wearing blue jackets marked ICE, told arriving customers that the store was closed briefly for a federal inspection. A driver delivering cases of beer was told to wait in the parking lot.

The manager was in Bangladesh and the owner, reached by phone, told the clerk to accept whatever documents were served. Agents said they would return Tuesday for employment records they requested.

Neither 7-Eleven nor was its parent company,Seven & i Holding. based in Tokyo, was charged in that case.

"Just as the IRS performs audits of people all the time of their tax returns, the same purpose here is to ensure a culture of compliance in this area," he said.

They keep turning down your application or something+ don't understand how this is a win for you

 

[lazarus]

They’ve been coming for black folk since the slave ships. The fuck are you talking about? Why do so many negroes sing this “kum bye ya” shit when we’re constantly being attacked?

God damn it, it pisses me off so much seeing this shit. Every other race sits on the sidelines when blacks get shitted on but are quick to take a bullet for everyone else.

And in this case, lest we forget the trans-Arab Slave trade that still goes on today.

For all his (many) faults, Tariq Nasheed was right: Hold Your Own Nuts.

Indifference. That's a different message then celebrating this like its a win like the OP suggests. It's like you want white supremacy's attention all for yourself then.

 

[WattDogs]

Only 21 arrests...waste of fucking resources...

Sometimes, making an impression is more important than cost.

 

[Capo]

All of the workers in the 7-11 s by me are African. To me, they are not significantly different from an immigrant from anywhere else. They aren't connected to me any more than the Indian or Arab guys who are also culturally different.

A world traveler with such a small mind, truly? That’s a shame, surely you’ve encountered people in all those places you claim to have been that treated you like an actual person, no? They hate you so you hate them what does that get you? Ignorance is everywhere and we should eradicate it and backwards thinking mafuckas like you too.

How old are you? Would you consider yourself a pothead? Please don't take it as an insult and be honest.

When the entire planet is brown? Man get your head out the cloud. Out here thinking like a little ass boy

Who the fuck wants to work at 7/11. So they an easy target with probably averaging 4 employees at store. Why don't Trump raid his own properties, bet he employs many undocumented workers.

As a parent I would never let my teenage daughter work at a 7/11. Being a police officer is probably a safer job.

*two cents*

It isn't just Russians... China, Canada, Mexico, and the list goes on.. This is and has been a problem because of the 14th amendment. Russia is just a story right now because the vacation packages taut staying at Trump owed locations.

 

[OnSlaught]

[OnSlaught]

On the real, I don't wish for the demise of any culture or people at large, but it should be noted that they have not been vocal for the most part as we have suffered injustices to the court system's bigoted and hypocritical laws of this "great" nation for years.

Maybe they will be more willing to step forward as a whole when they see injustices, not just for their own.

Black folks have been playing the Captain Planet role for years, getting our asses handed to us, even for causes that aren't ours.

 

[Mixd]

The entire country is made up of immigrants not counting the natives that were here.

White people came here, raped and pillaged the land then brought black slaves here to work the land and get rich off their backs and yall condone them kicking who and who they want out and praise them for it.

All I can do is SMH.

A ton of resources to kick out 21 people of jobs no one wants and there are white terrorist organizations that they do not one thing about...

Yeah justice was served that day raiding 100 7-11's. That's your tax money

Hey let me throw in a #MAGA too

It's like that constantly man, rinse and repeat. Your mom's a smart lady.

An ex of mine is Pakistani. Her family was cool, but they were the type that frowned their faces when they saw one of their own not being a doctor, lawyer, engineer etc.

A friend of hers father owned a Subway and my ex's mom got mad when she saw that it was a family organized venture. Started talking to her in Urdu and then the shit got real heated. Basically, Middle Easterners and Indians that come to this country without an advantage build together. It's looked down upon by the uppity ones from their countries, but every immigrant with some sense does it.

I wish black folks would do it too.

Funny enough, my ex revealed to me that her parents did the same thing, just on a different scale. Everyone of their friend's and family that came over who were trying to escape their country and become a doctor here, they let stay with them and stack their money so at least their house they could buy in cash. Once they passed the USMLEs they got a work visa and then married an American or American born Pakistani.

Rinse and repeat.

Asians have major organizations that do it for their own. They give loans to their own to start businesses and since they only hire their own, who knows how many are illegal trying to make it here as well.

Don't know how many of you actually get around D or know what really goes on here, but my major pet peeve that many don't see is you think illegal immigrants are a minority thing?

You really don't know how many Europeans are here that are illegal from Russia, Poland, and a ton of other places, that these same raid squads don't bother to look at why, cause of the color of their skin?

But they're serving justice tho, get those sand nuccas outta here. Right?

Not defending anyone, but if you gonna go after illegals then they could raid entire communities in Brooklyn and find all illegals like Brighton Beach but wont

yeah immigrants been peeped the real blueprint of america as a "capitalistic society"..a lot didn't fall for the college hype and aimed straight for the money..they did that with the cab industry, delivery industry, vendor industry, blue collard industry, certain hustles, etc...generate money, get certain licenses, generate even more money, start buying property, open up bizzness, generate more money...i ran with a few africans yrsss ago doing the whole bootleg/ open up store front thing and peeped how they would flip money into legal things as well pass on certain ventures to friends/family..even when they had certain friends visit for months from out the country or were here on visa they'd set them up to generating bread as soon as they touched down
