Trump administration seeks to remove ‘illegal aliens’ but Uline’s past employment practices reveal a different reality
When JD Vance delivered a speech about the US economy late last year at a Uline facility in Allentown, Pennsylvania, he talked up the Trump administration’s key goals: removing “illegal aliens” from the country, rewarding companies that keep jobs in the US and paying Americans good wages.
“We’re going to reward companies that build here in America and give good wages to do it,” Vance said.
The venue was no accident. Uline, a multibillion-dollar privately held office supply company, is owned by Liz and Richard Uihlein, two of the biggest donors to Maga Republicans in the 2024 election.
But when it comes to immigration, Uline’s employment practices over the last several years provide an alternative picture of how the US economy works in the real world.
Why aren’t we putting anyone who took advantage of an illegal workforce in prison? The workers should have a clear, quick and easy path to citizenship. The scumbags that made millions/billions off of them should be in prison.
