So, there's supposedly all these millions of 'illegals' working everywhere.
So someone hired them. What business managers and leaders are being charged with hiring illegal workers? Do we even have a single manager/leader/owner charged?

He did the US white collar sin of stealing from other rich people.
He could have stolen from the poors (read: bottom 99%) and got away with it. He targeted the top 1%, and well, yeah.
And then this year, those Wells Fargo exec penalties were reduced to a mere pittance. https://occ.gov/news-issuances/news-releases/2025/nr-occ-202...
This also coincided with some major donations from Wells Fargo to our current president's inaugural parade. Quite a coincidence. https://www.snopes.com/news/2025/05/02/trump-wells-fargo-ina...
Locally, we had an HSI raid on a business that had 10+ illegal underage workers living in an illegal bunkhouse built in the back of their building.
No criminal charges for the owner or any managers, no fines that have been reported for the numerous amount of code violations in their flophouse, and every day I drive by the building on my way to work and a 100k truck + very expensive boat are parked out front.
It’s an affront to justice to see these crooks getting rich and laughing to the bank!
When reporters asked DHS about that when they were crowing about their "roundup" of 900 or so workers. "That's not part of the scope of this. We don't have any plans to investigate this".
For all the people who crow about legality... overstaying a visa, etc., is typically a misdemeanor. Aiding someone in staying in the country without authorization? Felony. "Tough on crime", my ass.
It's a sign for how thoroughly defeated (or captured) the "opposition" party is in the United States that they are incapable of adopting a coherent position about this exact situation.
How are we letting the 1% get away with this? They give tacit approval to immigrants to break the law in order to work in the United States, creating an unprivileged underclass that they can abuse. Then, when some kind of enforcement happens, the capital class suffers no consequences and the poor workers are inhumanely rounded up and deported.
Criticizing the wealthy is truly the third rail in American politics. Other than vehement support of Israel, supporting the rich at the expense of the downtrodden is the only assailable, bipartisan political "norm" remaining.
And they love this shit btw. It's not just cold opportunistic use of the incentives and systems they find. They love the unjust power it gives them in their personal domains and over the people around them. It's why they so reliably support trump in the end. They want serfs and he wants them to have serfs.
Trump's own donors systematically hire illegals:
