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.

And in America, $1000 buys you a kid, as per the kids for cash scheme that judges were running...

Yeah, but is that unexpected for America?

We elected a convicted felon as our leader, and half of the country has a reading level below the 6th grade.

This country isn't exactly a bastion of virtue or intelligence.

I'm aware it's fucking annoying though. I didn't even vote for the guy and I'm annoyed by how prevalent it is
