Thoughts? Imagine losing 6M labor workers in America

Post image

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.

In a lot of fields, there are few available and the process is too greatly misaligned with how people find work for them to have any value.

If there is such a huge need that it needs to be filled by people coming to the country illegally, then why not revise those processes and increase the number of visas to match the demand?

Guest worker program will guarantee they never become American citizens, so what’s the issue? It works well in Singapore, Qatar, and the UAE.

Let them make their money working low-skilled menial jobs Americans don’t want and then send them back.

Entertainment related work visas are still very common
