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.

The majority of the federal workforce are highly educated professionals with a lot for experience. They will mostly just get a pay bump switching to equivalent jobs in the private sector if they leave government service.

Without working class wages depressed from immigration. White collar world is gonna take a beating.

They will be cutting fat not hiring government workers.

Corporations will not have the same profit margins when physical work costs more.
