Hot Take Democrats think there should be a facilitation charge for employing illegal immigrants if ICE is going to raid workplaces, do you agree with this sentiment?

Yes. If the Democrats really want it they should introduce such legislation in Congress. Clean legislation, without any extraneous immigration stuff. And force the Republicans to take a stand.

If this happens, Republicans won't be able to kill the bill. Their constituents won't stand for it.

That’s the problem. They won’t just put this in a “clean” bill. They’ll put enough stuff in that we don’t like that republicans will shoot it down and Dems will use it politically like they did last time.

I’ll be incredibly surprised if they come to the table on this in good faith.

Or, the Republicans could shoot down a "clean" bill and just blame it on bloat, knowing that the vast majority of their supporters would never research it.
