“41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal”

I've both tipped and bought lunch for workers that did work on my property or my vehicles. Some of the workers were migrants and they did good work and were honest. They told me sometimes people wanted to exploit their immigration status and they didn't get paid.

Recently, in Ohio, there was a farm that called ICE on the last day of work when all his workers were going to get paid and they were supposed to get back their $1000 deposit from the hotel they all stayed at. These businesses exploited the labor, then ripped off the workers and called ICE.

Guaranteed he's not the only old white dude pretending to be ICE to shake down, kidnap, rape, or otherwise be a subhuman chud to people they deem as "lesser" than them.
