Higher prices in key sectors has been an unintended but foreseeable consequence of Trump's mass deportation efforts due to the lack of targeting the worst of of the worst.

Unless a rocketship gets strapped to his ass, it looks like all the hullabaloo about mass deportations will result the highest #'s in a decade but over 60% less than the stated goal

So even he beats the yearly record he's still behind

He's not deporting the "bad apples". He's deporting the working class folks who pick fruit, do day labor, build homes, and all the hard work here in the USA. the farmers are screaming bloody murder, and it will echo in the midterms. All the MS13 thugs and rapists that supposedly entered are NOT THE ONES being exited. Its day laborers. Housekeeping and the like. Did you really think the 47 folks have an idea of where ppl are??

Those fat lazy fucks under Hoeman don't know where their car keys are, let alone ms13

A federal appeals court gas ruled that the Trump admin unlawfully invoked the Alien Enemies Act as it sought to speed up deportations of certain individuals.

This is a matter of principle. I’ll gladly pay a few bucks more for fruits and vegetables if it’s going to hard working American citizens, not foreign indentured servants. How far back into slavery should we slide here? What’s acceptable? We can lower the prices of nearly anything by importing a 3rd world labor force and paying wages most Americans wouldn’t accept.

'hard working American citizens"

Good luck with all that. Lol. You'll more than likely need to go pick the crops yourself, because so far, all these "hard working American citizens" have been content to let the fruits and veggies rot in the fields.

[Jacuzzme]

So you’re pro slavery as long as it keeps vegetable prices artificially suppressed.

Address the question I put forth, please. I’m truly interested in your and others feelings on the matter. How far do we go to keep labor costs and ultimately finished product prices down. Steel workers? Auto workers? Trade unions? How many Americans making a decent wage do we send to the unemployment line for the sake of cheap consumer goods, housing, domestics, etc.

We could easily do it. There’s half a billion Chinese who’d jump at the opportunity to come here and work for a fraction of what companies pay US production workers. Why is the agriculture industry the only one who gets this benefit? If it’s good for the US consumer bwhy wouldn’t we expand it to every industry?

[tommy156]

Just leaving the agriculture industry the way it's been for decades will be sufficient.

Besides, it's beyond obvious trump isn't going after the "worst of the worst". He's a chickenshit racist who has his goons raiding Home Depots. He's not going after criminals.

[HDGristle]

Definitely not prioritizing the worst of tbe worst. He does have deportation numbers he needs to prop up, bigly.

Why? You offer no explanation for this whatsoever.

Cars, for example, are really expensive. Why not lower production costs and ultimately the consumer price by replacing auto and steel workers with foreigners who will work for peanuts? I’m yet to hear a good argument as to why the ag industry should have this advantage while others do not. Maybe a reasonable argument exists. If so, put it out there.

[HDGristle]

Sounds like a great topic for another thread

[tommy156]

How about trump focusing on real criminals? He hasn't been doing that at all. People WORKING in restaurants and home improvement stores aren't criminals. They're sitting ducks for a chickenshit racist administration who doesn't have the balls to go after the real criminals.

A level of evasion only bested in SERE school.

Read the article. It a tale of what happens when your population declines.

The US Population Could Shrink in 2025, For the First Time Ever

It's a story with massive economic and political significance. But it's receiving strangely little attention.

The United States is on the precipice of a historic, if dubious, achievement. If current trends hold, 2025 could be the first year on record in which the US population actually shrinks.
…
Whoever wins the next few elections will face the same arithmetic. The U.S. cannot grow through native-born fertility alone. As immigration collapses, the US population will stagnate and even shrink. Urban economics will buckle. Fields will go unharvested. Homes will go unbuilt. Sick Americans will go untreated. Life-saving medicines will go undiscovered. Many voters hated the era of record immigration. They might hate the era of record deportations even more.
