daily tasks that are all around us, work at our meat packing plants, do our roofing, etc., we're all supposed to ask/seek out if these people are here illegally, and possibly have the Feds after us, if we hire or buy products such as pkgs of meat?

A rather tall order but one that I would not be surprised that djt would love the show of such an occurrence shown on national TV, ICE raiding a plant, or arresting an American for hiring such a person who in reality really have no realistic way of determining if a person is here illegally or not?
