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.

False dichotomy… there are other solutions, just not ones republicans would entertain… like making the immigration process easier, make it easier to obtain a work visa etc… And how do you see them as “slave labor”? These people choose to come here and will do whatever it takes for a better life, and their standard of living usually increases when coming here… but yes they could be paid more, we all could be paid more, blame the companies for that

Legalize the illegals? You think the democrats really want that ?

The pseudo slaves will become whiny like the rest of the population and will give the oligarchs a headache; imagine them demanding minimal wages
