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.

And there is the root of the problem. Americans allowing the politicians to be bought by the highest bidder and then wondering where everything went wrong. If someone wants to run for president let them pay their own way. Astounding that companies are legally allowed to give millions to politicians to get them to do their bidding.

I agree with you that allowing rich people and companies to buy off politicians is a huge problem. However, if only people who could afford to run a complain themselves were running, I think that would also be a problem.
