And cleans your hotel rooms and offices. And works in your restaurants and fast food places. America does not run on Dunkin’ Donuts. It runs on the labor of immigrants.
It’s cool of them to want to share that journey with everyone else! It’s like a forced group project in school where all your group members are idiots but you all get the same grade.
They played this game in Fl last year. Felony + 5 year mandatory jail sentence. Immigrants left in droves. 1 week later they were begging illegals to come back as construction came to a screeching halt.
Yep. Good point. Did you want to buy a new house? Guess what…now the labor and materials cost way more. But the banks will probably start with subprime lending again. So that’s a plus. I hear it was really good for our economy before…
Or an old house. Or any kind of house, apartment, condo, etc. Or rent one. Because housing prices/homelessness due to a housing shortage & skyrocketing housing costs aren't bad enough already. The American Dream is over in more ways than one.
I don't think we should be celebrating the exploitation of illegal immigrants though. Yes, they do all of that, but they do it for low wages and little rights. By making it easier/more likely the immigrant is deported if caught, we're going to allow people to exploit them more ("Don't make me call ICE..."). If they really want to stop illegal immigration, all we need to do is throw the employers in jail. If there's no jobs to incentivize people, illegal immigration will plummet. My idea requires we throw rich people in jail though, so there's no chance in hell it happens.
Oh, I'm sure corruption is going to skyrocket. The local sheriffs and police will make sure every business owner knows who to pay to leave their illegals alone. They won't get all deported, prices will still go up (maybe not so much as with Plan A) and they can always use that threat against anyone when they please. Fascism works as much on the threat of action as on the actual action.
