The Biden administration on Tuesday announced U.S. immigration authorities will no longer carry out mass arrests of unauthorized immigrants at work sites, saying law enforcement efforts should focus on holding exploitative employers accountable.
In a memo, Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) should prioritize combating illegal acts committed by "unscrupulous" employers, whom he noted often pay workers substandard wages, subject them to unsafe working conditions and facilitate human trafficking and child exploitation.

Mayorkas also charged the department with making sure that E-Verify, an online government program that allows employers to check the status of would-be employees, is not "misused" to retaliate against workers who report workplace abuse.
Biden administration ends mass immigration arrests at work sites
I'm all for them going after employers who hire illegals if they would make them pay the fines that are already on the books it would stop a lot of illegal hiring and therefore, illegal economic immigration. If they can't get jobs most won't come.
However, I still want to see deportations of many of the illegals already in the country.
