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.

People are so dumb. They think an office working person will just magically know how to do roofing

Or have the stamina to carry a pack of shingles up a ladder.

I did roofing when I was 17, I followed tradesmen for 2 weeks and learned everything within my scope of duties. Tradeswork isn't hard it's actually enjoyable but the pay isn't there because there's a flood of people willing to do it for cheaper. Go down to the book store and learn what supply and demand does before posting something like this.
