Thank you for comprehensive coverage of CHIRLA and the dubious nature of their 501c3. I'm guessing the IRS will take an interest in this "advocacy" group, and their donors.

And then there's the important domestic servant class. Hotair had an article about how the toffs on Martha's Vineyard are suffering as their illegal alien servants and the like decline to show up for work thanks to the threat of ICE

I imagine the same applies to LA and other places

That's the tip of the iceberg - lots of them wind up working for megacorps like Tyson Foods and the like...

Which results in this take

TL;DR "Oh noes, our brown serf class may (self) deport and force us to pay a real wage to legal workers instead"

I've amended my post as follows, in light of what you've said:

"And the employers of the illegal immigrants ought not to be allowed to get away with their fraud and abuse, their “slaves” should be fairly compensated for their labor, their employers should be made to pay them twice the difference between the prevailing wage for their labor, with a wage of $20 per hour being the minimum, for the first 40 hours, the next 20 hours being paid at time-and-a-half, and any hours above that to be paid at double-time. In addition, if the workers are disabled, the employer would be required to compensate them at the US rates for necessary hospital or emergency room care, and such rehabilitative care to where they can rejoin the work force - in their native countries, of course. And if the employers use violence or the threat thereof, to deny these employees their fair labor rights, including to organize for higher pay and benefits, there should be fines paid, per employee, at the rate of $10,000 per day or fraction thereof, to a fund designated to compensate the workers, to be distributed to them as payments from a trust, in their home countries. The point of this is to make the labor of illegal immigrants prohibitively expensive for their employers. And if the employers or their agents use physical force or violence, they should be charged with the appropriate crimes at the felony level, and serve a mandatory minimum sentence of at least two years in a federal prison, thus serving as a further deterrent."

Results being a strongly worded letter and promptly forgotten.
