I'd like to think so although I've heard stories about ICE showing up at places like Home Depot and car washes.

Of course. Around here, Home Depot is a major hiring place for illegals. Drive by and see the line. In my city (no Home Depot) there is a specific corner where they can wait to be picked up by contractors. The city passes by at least once a week to check that people are actually being paid and not cheated of what they are promised. That's the difference between immigrants and homeless. The immigrants (illegals) are here to work. The homeless (citizens) are blocking sidewalks with their tents and refusing free housing because they can't smoke inside (a clue that they've never worked in California, where you usually can't smoke inside (including bars, etc.)
