About this episode
Thom reveals the shocking truth about why ICE targets workers instead of the wealthy employers who hire them. While most of the political debate focuses on border tactics, Thom explores a simple, existing legal solution that politicians refuse to enforce: employer sanctions. From the "Texas Proviso" to Ronald Reagan’s 1986 reforms, this video breaks down the history of how the business lobby and white supremacist ideologies have shaped America's immigration policy into a system of exploitation and terror.
