Home Depot doesn’t employ them. It’s just a convenient parking lot to hang out on looking for day jobs.
My ex’s uncle, conservative asshole had a Russian mail order bride and was staunchly against immigrants. However that didn’t stop him from going down to the Home Depot and hiring a couple to do things like clear brush and move hillsides (although karma came around and he was put on some kind of blacklist where they refused to work for him because of the work he had them do)
Yes, if they really wanted to stop illegal workers they would hold the employers at fault for the charges. If they were actually worried about theft, and fraud, they would be going after employers and contractors, not the peasantry. This is just a violent display of who is on top, and demonstration of how small you are.
That is the moral thing to do. What I am discussing is that if they are interested in enforcing the law, as it is, they need to go after the businesses illegally employing them. That is not what they are interested in though, this is just a show of power.
Or maybe start holding some of these large corporations (fruit companies, Home Depot) responsible for encouraging and enabling illegal migrant labor ?

So there’s a secret gringo list ? Neat . Your uncle sounds like the hypocrisy the current administration represents.

Or just make them legal…
