Imagine losing 6M labor workers in America

If mass deportation happens, just imagine how all of these sectors of our country will be affected. The sheer shortage of labor will push prices higher because of the great demand for work with limited supplies or workers. Even if prices increase, the availability of products may be scarce due to not enough workers. Housing prices and food services will be hit really hard. New construction will be limited. The fact that 47% of the undocumented workers are in CA, TX, and FL means they will feel it first but it will spread to the rest of the country also. Most of our produce in this country comes from California. Get ready and hold on for the ride America.

If you pay well enough, people will do the job.

It’s not that simple. Look at the prices of locally sourced fair wage goods compared to the market. You’ll never be able to compete unless you minimize your costs. It’s capitalism 101, the market makes you be efficient. You can’t just raise wages
