2. Maybe if MacDonald's lost enough workers, Rump would do something about immigration reform. And I still want to know

why they are punishing the undocumented workers but not the American business owners who hired them. I mean, I know why: because undocumented migrant labor has been an accepted, albeit illegal, way for businesses to lower their labor costs for a hundred years, and making obscene profits are all that matter to the wealthy class and Repub politicians.

But if they would fine a business $50,000 for each undocumented worker, and actually enforced it, there would be very few hired.

Hmm . . . I bet Rump hasn't thought of this potential stream of income! Or maybe he has. He probably is accepting bribes from business owners to not send ICE to arrest their workers.

Will this ever end?
