Yeah, deport, deport, deport. Great. Awesome. Send those lawbreakers back home. Cool. But when that happens, don't be surprised when the economy implodes.
Who is building houses, repairing roofs, picking produce, landscaping, cooking and washing dishes in restaurants, laying concrete, cleaning houses, doing your wives nails, working in car washes, and working the ranches (hint: Yellowstone was Hollywood nonsense - it ain't like that in Crockett County).
Have any of you thought about what's going to happen when you deport everyone doing those jobs and what it's going to cost to replace those folks with documented citizens?
I know who I want to replace them!
Start with able bodied folks abusing the welfare system. Start with able bodied folks collecting unemployment.
Increase the capacity and decrease the wait time for H2-A and H2-B visas.
Cut all Federal and at least Texas state assistance for illegals, and actually pass the savings onto the taxPAYERS... the one's with an effective Federal Tax rate >0%
Nobody can say with certainty what the outcome of deporting ALL illegals will be. You can speculate and ask what it's going to cost to replace those people.. but you aren't asking what will happen to
- Housing costs when the illegals aren't impacting supply/demand
- Medical costs when the illegals aren't going to the ER for sniffles and not paying a dang thing
- Not committing crimes and increasing the inmate population
- The money they earn isn't being sent back to Mexico and is being spent here
- The schools that can be closed due to lower enrollment
- Etc.....
I want the Government to enforce the laws. Both Fed and State. If an American breaks the law I want them arrested and prosecuted. If an illegal breaks the law I want them prosecuted AND deported.
For those that will state the law states the illegals get their day in court, I understand. I want the Fed to increase the capacity and shorten the wait for those hearings. You show up to the border and request asylum, you get put through a queue ala Night Court and 90% settled right there. The other 10% get told to wait in Mexico until their 2nd court date.
Question for you. Do you think that the people who have been impacted by the murders, sexual assaults, other violence committed by illegals give a crap about the cost to replace the illegals? I know I wouldn't mind paying an extra 1k for my roof if it meant my 13 yr old daughter wasn't sexually assaulted by one of those folks that shouldn't be here in the first place.
I'll repeat what I posted to someone else who asked a similar question.
The US government isn't required to come up with a plan to supply Joe's roofing company with workers.Their job is to preserve, protect and defend the constitution.The Dems have controlled all 3 federal branches before and haven't fixed immigration.
The Republicans have controlled all 3 branches before (not as long as the dems) and haven't fixed immigration.
The Executive Branch has decided to enforce Federal Law.
