“The Marines Are Looking For A Few Good Men” to fight for America ... while masked ICE Agents beat up their dads

Marine Corps veteran says he feels betrayed after his father was arrested by masked federal agents

A Marine Corps veteran says he feels betrayed after his father was beaten and arrested by masked federal agents while working at his landscaping job, caught up in one of the ongoing ICE workplace raids that advocates say have left immigrant communities terrified and on edge.

Alejandro Barranco told CNN that his father, Narciso Barranco, was detained by federal agents while working as a landscaper at an IHOP in Santa Ana, California. The 25-year-old Marine veteran said his father was born in Mexico and has lived in the US since the 90s. He is undocumented but has no criminal record, his son said.

“He was always a good dad,” Alejandro Barranco said. “He always made sure we had food on the table. He always taught us to respect, to love our country, to always give back.” - CNN

How can a millionaire CEO get richer by exploiting undocumented workers without facing any consequences. But Marines defending America have to deal with their dad getting beaten up?

The Real Reason American Companies Hire Undocumented Immigrants

It may be illegal, but hiring undocumented workers is a long-standing practice in the agriculture and food production industries. While the oft-given justification is that these workers “do jobs Americans won’t,” this is not necessarily the reason many employers hire them. A more accurate statement might be that undocumented immigrant workers tend to do jobs Americans would do, but they do it for lower pay and under unsafe conditions. And that, at its core, is the problem: employers who hire undocumented workers often treat them poorly because they can. Meanwhile, undocumented workers are risking life and limb for their income, and if they complain, they risk losing their jobs or being deported. - Caesar, Napoli & Spivak PLLC
