> spell out for me how that makes it ok to use undocumented labor

The same way it is ok to go 1-5 mph over the speed limit on the freeway. Both are illegal on paper, but in practice, law enforcement turns a blind eye and actual enforcement would entangle a lot of people and interfere with the status quo. The juice is probably not worth the squeeze, as Arizona and Florida found out.



This happened in Alabama.

Arrest the wrong German executive as part of your "immigration crackdown" and suddenly Mercedes is pulling out of your economy.

Alabama has gone down this road, and I'm not seeing how it will be any better for anyone this time around. People tentatively agreeing with it or not.

If there are so many undocumented laborers we need, then the issue is documentation. Trump is [not exactly endearing himself with SK](https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/south-korea-china...).

Aren't we supposed to be encouraging American manufacturing? Or is the plan to run out Hyundai and make Fords?

What is this referring to and where can I read more about this? I may have missed the news.
