It appears JD Vance may have one of his venture capital projects come back and bite him on the ass:

Failed Vance-backed start-up stirred worker complaints, then hired migrants: JD Vance in the news --

Kinda hard to explain why his project went and imported migrant workers when there are all those US worker just dying to get a job; then again, his butt buddy Trump knowingly staffed some of his properties with illegals until he put his hat in the political ring; also, note the project ended in bankruptcy: I guess Vance is also trying to copy Trump's six (6) bankruptcies; gee, maybe everyone should thank the GOP for offering up a POTUS/VP slate of financial/business failures to run our nation's economy...
On the subject of migrant workers, the biggest drawing card for migrants is the prospect of jobs in the US; now, the law says it is illegal to hire illegals, bu, dang, if the illegals don't find jobs, anyway; in all the talk of immigration reforms and building walls, etc., the glaringly huge fact that employers in the US in several areas of the economy regularly flaunt the established laws and continue to hire illegals; some of you may be aware of the existence of a government program called
E-Verify (EV), which is supposed to allow an employer to verify if a potential employee is actual legally qualified to work in the US; sounds like a real good idea, right?; but when the law was originally passed, there was extensive lobbying by certain sectors of the US economy to not make the program mandatory, just having participation as voluntary, essentially gutting the original intent of the legislation: making it extremely difficult for illegals to get jobs and disincentivizing migrants form wanting to enter the US; the voluntary nature of EV has been going on for decades and every time the idea is broached of making compliance with EV mandatory, the same well-connect businesses/industries quietly push down any attempts to close the massive flaw in the law; the businesses involved in gutting the law are the same every time: the major hotel and resort chains, big agriculture, labor intensive businesses like the meat packing industry, etc., with a very large number of those companies operating in Red States, which also points out a glaring degree of hypocrisy when the GOP politicians from those states rail on and on about the illegal immigration problem while the big businesses in their state flaunt immigration laws; I have long wanted to see the Congress finally put an end to the pussyfooting around those special interest employers and make them comply with EV; and, to ensure they do comply, make the fines and penalties much higher than they are now...
