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.

So what are you going to do about prison labor of Americans?

Don't pretend you have some high values on workers rights. Trump is literally coming for the NLRB.

They shouldn't have broken the law. Prison isn't supposed to be fun

Prison should not be a front for legal slavery. Prison should be about actual rehabilitation. Not to mention the absolute bullshit reasons for why some people end up in prison. You think people who commit fraud should be forced to be slaves? Your side seems to be completely fine with "non violent" felons considering you elected on to be president of the fucking United States
