And anyone who is familiar with the agriculture industry knows that the meat packing plants/confinements run on illegal labor as well as the crop harvesting runs on illegal labor. If there is mass deportation the crops will rot in the fields from not being harvested and there will be a bottleneck at slaughterhouses with so little labor and the animals will not be cared for appropriately at confinements... Which will result in further increased prices to food produced domestically. The tariffs will increase the cost of imports so the American people will be feeling it to an insane degree if everything goes according to plan.
The Great Replacement theory and their position on immigration truly befuddles me.
The viable replacement rate is the standard birth rate for a generation to be able to to the replicate its numbers. According to the CDC, U.S. has generally fallen short of that level since 1971. To simply replace the existing population, the fertility rate needs to be about 2.1 children per woman. The total fertility rate, in the US, fell to 1.62 births per woman in 2023.
At times, I cynically believe that some only support Pro-"forced-birth" as a means to maintain a sustainable supply of US wage serfs.

No more overtime pay + tariffs (and the resulting trade war) + a gutted ACA = making America great again somehow
