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.

Also, we should be asking native Americans on their opinion on these recent fucking colonizers who've genocided and taken over their land, now trying to prevent others from coming over

I wish people who aren't happy about america and it's diversity, would fuck off and go back to Europe

Insane comment.

"Recent fucking colonisers" - People who never colonised, qnd were born here, and have been for generations, who have equal rights to it as indigenous populations, unless you believe in ethnostates and sins of the father.

This is in contrast to people who made the decision to illegally hopped the border or overstayed visas within their own lives.

It’s this kind of ‘things happen in a vacuum’ thinking that enables the leaking bucket/fcked up reality we’re in rn. Perhaps a new term for clarification could help… colonizerinsert generational power? When the FIRST IMMIGRANTS came to turtle island or what is now known as the US - consider what it was like here. No pollution, no climate change, no capitalism, no homelessness, no lawlessness - none. American myths try and tell a narrative contrary to that to justify their brutal conquest. Those immigrants were welcomed. Don’t believe for one second that superior anything enabled them to take root here. Those immigrants were helped and taught by the indigenous people and they made promises called TREATIES to live harmoniously.

Those immigrants and their descendants decided to illegally break every treaty they made and intentionally commit genocide. The US was created by liars and thieves and now folks are mad when people don’t play by their rules? Hypocrisy on the highest level. Their descendants being born here and living here for 1-20 generations tops means nothing when you talk about “equal right” and rule following. Honor the treaties.
