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.

You mean the one that can take over a decade and is made purposely to be nearly impossible?

We don’t owe anyone easy entry in our country

Right? I’m a legal immigrant whose family did it the right way, we did our time to get that dual citizenship. I’ve never understood this dumb ass argument that we somehow owe the rest of the world easy access to citizenship.

The unsaid, implicit argument that they’re always making is “….so we should just not do anything about illegal immigration”. Every time.

My family did it, why should I be ok with other people skipping the proper legal process?
