Why This Matters
👷 Undocumented worker vulnerability exposes labor rights violations affecting all workers
Workplace raids target vulnerable immigrant workers while ignoring employers who violate labor laws, wage standards, and safety regulations. Employer impunity for hiring undocumented workers undermines wages and working conditions for all employees when businesses use vulnerable populations to avoid legal compliance.
📈 Economic disruption spreads through supply chains affecting local businesses and communities
Mass arrests eliminate experienced workers from essential industries like agriculture, construction, and food processing that depend on immigrant labor. Sudden workforce losses create economic ripple effects that harm businesses, increase costs, and disrupt services throughout affected communities.
