ICE Cleans Up Day Workers At Home Depot

What was once a haven for illegal immigrants, has become a jackpot for ICE.

The parking lots are also clear now as ICE agents have focused on Home Depots.

The area looks more civilized and people feel safer.

So naturally the media has come out against.

CNBC cries about the story:

KEY POINTS

The recent ICE raids in Los Angeles area Home Depot store parking lots sparked protests and national headlines, but also call into question a day laborer market that has been critical to the U.S economy.

Hispanic Construction Council research estimates a nationwide construction workforce shortage of 500,000 workers.

It says fears in the community will delay construction projects across the country that are already behind schedule.

Home improvement store parking lots were once teeming with aspiring laborers looking for a day’s work. Contractors needing temporary help would swing by and scoop up a few workers for the day, and a symbiotic ecosystem thrived. Workers could snag a day’s pay, and contractors could get cheap, temporary help without all the paperwork.

Since President Trump was reelected, labor experts have warned of unpredictable outcomes for sectors dependent on immigrant labor, including construction and residential housing. The recent Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids in Los Angeles area Home Depot
store parking lots sparked protests and put a nationwide pall over the day laborer community. But beyond the deployment of troops and political finger-pointing, labor experts say that the Home Depot parking lot sweeps could have wide-ranging effects on whether critical work in the U.S. gets done.

George Carrillo, CEO of the Hispanic Construction Council, estimates there are tens of thousands of “parking lot day laborers” across the country and that the recent ICE raids will have a chilling effect that ripples through the entire economy.

“We have members reaching out to us seeing what they should do; they are scared,” Carrillo said.

A Home Depot company spokesperson says:

“We ask our associates to report them immediately, to not engage with the activity and if associates feel uncomfortable after witnessing ICE activity, we offer associates the option to go home for the day with pay.”

So they get paid if they’re upset about ICE?

It seems illegals have once viewed this place as a safety zone.

Some have learned that isn’t true the hard way:

Dear Illegals:

ICE is everywhere, you are not safe just going to your local Home Depot.

It’s over.

Here we see a quiet lot in California.

When was the last time it was like this? 1993?

This is truly UNBELIEVABLE.
