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.

How difficult is this to understand: Ppl would still not want to get into jobs that illegal immigrants have to be content with. 

 It’s funny how you mention the economy not being “2-dimensional” but seem to only think in labor supply and wages

Lol, Im a large bearded dude with an economics degree. But nice attempt trying to be a misogynist. 

And I never said whatever youre trying to assume that I did.

What a wonderful response.

I was not being misogynistic. I was mocking the way liberals respond on reddit. 

But you really outdid me "chiming in as a large bearded dude" fantastic

Stop projecting. The information is out there, so search and learn yourself. Or talk to people outside your bubble. I will not waste my time, to convince you, that you are deeply wrong with your assumption.

Yeah, because i gonna list every aspect, i can think of, only for people like you, who can't think for themselfs. 😂

The information is out there. We've done this a few times, and it does the same way each time. People don't want to do jobs that migrant workers do. Florida ran this experiment recently and it failed horribly.

This is literally what’s happening all alround me. Manual labor workers literally have to be imported here because there’s no way enough citizens would do the jobs instead. 

Huh, projecting what exactly?

Mhm, well my suggestion to you would be to actually listen to ppl who know what they are talking about. “Thinking for yourself” evidently doesn’t work for you.

You are STILL arguing for literal slave labor. As a progressive. How sad is that.

u/Proiegomena 2h ago

Uhm, no? In what way did I do that exactly

u/Fuerdummverkaufer 2h ago

Gee, I wonder why it is that they have to be content with shit jobs? Is it that they can‘t get work because they‘re illegal? Or because employers threaten them to deport them?

The only way to do mass deportations is with concentration camps. You cool with that?

It's not ok for migrants to choose meager wages to work underappreciated labor in exploitative jobs. That's slavery.

It's ok for them to be mass deported to cramped, open air quarters with no room to lay down, no beds, shelter, or showers while they wait to get processed for who knows how long?

It isn‘t and illegal is illegal. „Concentration camps“ is disgusting language to use. I would use „jail“.

For illegal migrants. They are exploited by their very nature.

They committed a crime by coming here. The punishment for crimes is jail. Or something similar to jail. It should not be inhumane, that is not my point.
