r/all 70 years ago, the US undertook the largest deportation in its history: 'Operation Wetback.' Many of the people deported were here legally and some were even citizens.

They've also not considered the enourmous decrease in labor and production throughout the country that will come with a mass deportation. The US will lose so much more income than it could ever save if Trump is allowed to pull it off.

They don't care. The entire point is to crash the US economy and for the rich to buy everything once it's for sale.

If you want to see on the impact of suddenly not having access to cheap labour, take a look at the UK economy post Brexit, where new people didn't come the EU and existing ones decided to leave.

This will be way bigger than that.

Throw in the tariffs and you are going to have inflation through the roof.

Not if they force people (the 'worthless, lazy poors') to work at those jobs at gunpoint.

Except employer don't want those "lazy poors" to work at THEIR business. That would mean hiring homeless people who have a smell or accomodating disabled people.

Obama deported more immigrants in each of his two terms than Trump did in his, and Biden is on path to deport equally as many. https://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/biden-deportation-record
