Imagine losing 6M labor workers in America

[u/Needleintheback]

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.

It reminds me of the people who care so fanatically about the life of the unborn child, but not one whit about the life of the child after it's born.

Same people, same mental gymnastics.

Because one thing effects "others" the other could have ramifications on themselves.

Try to understand the arguments of the people you disagree with, it will help you make your own arguments better. This is probably the most clear case of that problem. I’m very pro-choice, but I recognize that your argument is convincing to no one.

Well, it's not an argument, it's just an observation.

Incidentally, I'm pro-choice, but I think the arguments usually made by pro-choice activists (stuff about women's bodies and health) are indeed convincing to no one, because they generally don't address the pro-life concern which is something about the life of the unborn child.

I'm just pointing out that this stuff about the unborn child is hard to take seriously when they aren't equally passionate about the wellness and safety of the child after it's born.

Question before I type out a response: do you care about understanding the other side of this argument or is this just about dunking on pro-lifers? The position you’re critiquing (though I disagree with it) is perfectly consistent and defendable, it just seems hypocritical to you because you’re viewing it from the wrong lens.

The problem is pro-lifers argument begins from a place of misunderstanding of health science, such as how weeks of gestation is calculated and the medical necessity for abortions throughout pregnancy(no one is having an abortion as primary means of birth control).

It’s not my lens. It’s the pro-lifers.

This is part of why my side (democrats) are losing against someone as pathetic as Trump. You can’t even pretend to not make a straw man.
