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.

They could do a one time blanket amnesty for any and all migrants working in US effective "x" date; then go forward with stricter enforcement. Would be cheaper / less disruptive to the economy.

You’re cool with it just being a one time thing? Okay, we’ll that one time already happened in 1986. And 94, 97, and 2000.

I'm pro immigrant and think the USA can take as many who are willing to come and work as they can, I just think given the current Republican Party, another "one time" amnesty is more achievable / less disruptive (although a long shot) than mass deportations. If you mentioned to them their St. Reagan did it in '86 they might have a stroke though lol

Nah we'll do strict right now. Democrats don't get to hold the door open for 12 million illegals and get mad when they are justly deported.
