As Republican Texas leaders show support for Trump’s mass deportation plans, undocumented people — some who have lived in America for decades — are weighing their options amid mounting fears.

You going to volunteer to work in farm fields for poverty wages once all the migrant labor has been rounded up and deported?
I didn’t think so.
the thought process probably revolves around “No, we’ll just put the teenagers looking for their first jobs to work. and if that fails. Uh. Elon Robots!”
Man, it never gets old seeing lefties actually advocating for an abusable workforce for substandard wages. What is this, Jim Crow?
Americans will work shitty jobs for good wages. Right now, migrants work for less because they don’t have a choice. Remove the migrants, start going after companies that hire them, wages will go up.
In your dreams. You think Trump will fuck with rural farmers and rich industrialists who own factories that hire these undocumented immigrants? Or do you think somehow the leeches will relent and give fair wages to Americans to work the fields? What do you think would REALLY happen?
I expect it to be imperfect, but for the majority of the illegal labor force to be deported. Then either the companies will either be understaffed or start hiring legal workers.
Prices will most likely rise, but so will wages for those types of jobs. And frankly, I’d rather a little higher prices than for unethical lower prices
Me over here aging before they ever touch a company for hiring them.
They’re not the ones causing your shit pay
You literally voted for a guy who doesn’t want to properly raise the minimum wage lol
Better yet, let the migrants stay because they enrich our communities and are human beings just like you and me.
We could also enforce our labor laws uniformly and allow everyone to come and stay here if they wish. Give the migrants normal wages, while removing the stick of ICE that allows employers to abuse their undocumented labor force. Employers love ICE because ICE becomes enforcers if the labor force starts to get uppity.
You are scapegoating the wrong people. The real enemies are the people destroying our planet for illusory “profits” which won’t matter at all when the ecosystem collapses. Also, I don’t want a reply from a fucking fascist so don’t bother.
How exactly do they “enrich” our communities?
And you’re right, they are human beings. Human beings get to obey laws and follow processes. The animals don’t, but humans do.
Loooooooooooooool.
