Your tax dollars at work.
In all honesty, I don’t give a damn if the guy in this country illegally who’s swinging a hammer at a construction site is from Roscommon, Ireland, or from Oaxaca, Mexico. They’re both undercutting the wages of American citizens; they’re both being paid under the table (no federal or state taxes paid); they’re both in violation of 8 U.S. Code § 1325 (a criminal offense).
Along the same lines, I don’t give a damn if the gal in this country illegally who’s your maid is from Decca, Bangladesh, or Chișinău, Moldiva. They’re both undercutting the wages of American citizens; they’re both being paid under the table (no federal or state taxes paid); they’re both in violation of 8 U.S. Code § 1325 (a criminal offense).
Imagine my level of happiness and satisfaction reading that the great state of Mississippi is actually considering
As reported by TheHill.com (emphasis mine);
A Mississippi district attorney proposed new legislation Wednesday to pay bounty hunters a reward for helping to deport immigrants in the country illegally.
DeSoto County District Attorney Matthew Barton announced his support for House Bill 1484, authored by state Rep. Justin Keen (R), which would create the Illegal Alien Certified Bounty Hunter Program.
“We’ve seen firsthand the danger posed by bad actors and violent criminals who enter this country illegally, like the innocent life of Laken Riley,” Keen said in a statement.
“President Trump’s administration has made it clear that deporting illegal immigrants is a priority, and we are proud to do our part here in Mississippi to help support his agenda and protect our citizens.”
Keen and Barton suggested offering a $1,000 reward to registered bounty hunters for each successful deportation they help facilitate, which would be funded by the general assembly and administered by the state treasurer, according to a press release from his office.
