The illustration depicts U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arresting a worker, while a business owner sits at a desk nearby, counting money. The text poses a provocative question: if hiring undocumented workers is illegal, why are only the employees being arrested while the employers who hire them often face no legal consequences? The image serves as a commentary on the perceived imbalance in how labor laws and immigration policies are applied to different parties involved in the employment of undocumented individuals.
