?This is a direct attack on immigrant workers,? Ms. Guallpa said. ?The
intent is to criminalize workers and to create a situation where our
communities could be targets for deportation.?
 
Typical NYT woke nonsense...

The fact that the NYT published that kind of garbage is why I wouldn't
subscribe if it were free. I'm sure they do it to appease their wokie
readers.
