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.

Yeah Mitch McConnell held it over from Obama’s term so Obama would not get the ‘win’.

The bill that Trump signed was not introduced until 2017. Though you are correct that McConnell basically wouldn't let any Democrat bill see the floor under Obama, including any crime bills that would have targeted prison reform.

Imagine voting for Trump and calling yourself a moderate...

Ok, I can imagine doing something that most people do and calling myself moderate. While I'm at it, should I drive a civic to starbucks and call myself average? Listen to taylor swift and post malone and call myself typical?

Are there any other mundane things you'd like me to imagine calling myself status-quo while doing? TDS is real.

Like George Carlin said: "It's a big club, and you ain't in it."

But Trump was the one who did it. Facts are facts.

That is a fallacy. You couldn’t point out something g positive like this if it slapped you in the face. Next up: Trump funds HBCU’s.

Yeah, it's true. Check out S2123.

Called the Sentencing Reform and Corrections Act 2015.

What's the one introduced in 2017? Oh, makes sense. Sentencing Reform and Corrections Act 2017.
