ICE Cracking Down On Employers Who Hire Undocumented Immigrants

Earlier this week, acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Tom Homan announced ICE will be dramatically stepping up crackdowns on employers who hire undocumented immigrants.

He made the announcement while speaking at the conservative Heritage Foundation and said he’s instructed Homeland Security Investigations to exponentially increase worksite enforcement actions next year, according to CNN.

The goal? To remove the “magnet” that draws immigrants to enter the U.S. illegally.

But some say this isn’t sending the right message to the business community. For more on that, we’re joined now by state Rep. Tony Rivero, a Republican who represents District 21.
