Why do we never see anything happen to the farmers who knowingly and illegally hire undocumented immigrants? Nothing ever happens to those who get rich from illegal labor practices (whether its wage theft or knowingly hiring those without the right to work)
They get a big hefty fine. The fine is then reduced down to nothing after they claim they had no idea they were not legal to work in the country.
Next they reduce the amount of money they pay the other employees who they have no idea are not legal to work because of the fine they did not pay.
Since when has capitalism held capital holders accountable?
Its one of the inherent flaws of the system described nearly 200 years ago.
