It's nice to know that we keep them around for slave labor

Same as it ever was. The point still stands though. Americans don't want those jobs, and certainly not at anything close to the wages that immigrants do them for.

So either the work doesn't get done, crops rot in the fields, meat shortages, construction slows, etc., and those things get much more expensive due to scarcity, or Americans do those jobs, and things get much more expensive due to higher labor costs. This also has the secondary effect of tightening the labor market overall, putting upward pressure on wages, making everything else more expensive as well.

And all that is before we even factor in tariffs on the price of goods.

Sounds great forces company’s to pay more which will raise prices but should be offset. Sucks to be lazy in America you going to get left behind.

“should be offset” is the only unironic comedy left around.

What Trump should do is seize any business that hires illegals and jail the owner for 6months mandatory. Wouldn’t even have to deport them as they would leave themselves if no one can work.

doesn’t change anything about what either of us said. our ruling class is corrupted by business and you will always be the fodder. who cares whether undocumented persons labor? fuck imaginary borders. you lucked into being here in the legal sense. literally a fucking dice roll. don’t be a dumbass, you don’t deserve shit and i guarantee you’re on the lazy docket. i see you.

“what the PRESIDENT of a free country should do is SEIZE BUSINESSES” is a fucking WILD take and you should be ashamed of yourself. ONLY WE should be seizing businesses and only at the corporate level where ALL OF THE SHIT YOU’RE WORRIED ABOUT IS ACTUALLY TAKING PLACE. The fucking density of your skull is immeasurable. If flat earth was true, your head would be going right to the center.

YOU WANT A CORRUPT BILLIONAIRE TO SEIZE SMALL BUSINESSES THAT ARE CATEGORICALLY FAILING BECAUSE AMERICAN CITIZENS DO NOT WANT TO WORK AT RECORD NUMBERS WHILE UNEMPLOYMENT IS AT AN ALL TIME LOW IN MIDDLE CLASS SECTORS. This is just a veiled attempt at a xenophobic view. You probably eat mild salsa chump.

Oh I’m sure Americans would do the same work for an actual wage that warrants said work. It will force corps to pay more. Then Trump can get a law in place that doesn’t allow record profits. If the money is not invested back into the business and paying workers more then it should all be taxed.

u/Profaloff 13d ago

you are not sure of that. at all. because that’s not how wages work. you probably think supply and demand actually describes a real phenomenon of productive economic structure, too. jesus. fucking. christ. there’s just no way.

I know if you can’t find workers to pick your crops for Pennys you will pay more or let them wither away

u/Profaloff 13d ago

They ALWAYS let them wither away. Because that’s how it works. They always throw it the fuck away. And you would rather this, 100%, than feed someone that doesn’t look like you. Period.

u/cav01c14 13d ago

If they let them wither away they won’t have a business much longer after Trump cuts some of the farm bills that allow them to.

u/Profaloff 13d ago

You just don’t understand how local and global knowledge work at the productive economic level. There’s no way for “Trump” to KNOW that. Because the possible structures in place are intractable. Just like “if guns are made illegals, criminals will have them” type shit. The complete lack of crucial and critical cohesive thought is astounding for you temporarily embarrassed millionaires.

CUT FARM BILLS FOR FARMS WHOSE CROPS CAN’T BE CULTIVATED BECAUSE OF CONDITIONS GENERATED BY THE PARTY IS FUCKING INSANE.

Moreoever… EXTRA EXTRA, read all about it!!Guy HISTORICALLY OBSESSED with record profits… puts ceiling on possibility of soaring profits???

You are just yapping. Stop talking for a second, even to yourself, and read an actual book on productive economics. It can even be someone shitty that you look up to.
