I'm gonna laugh so hard when they start deporting them and start figuring the hard way who were doing all the shit jobs no american wanted to do.
That won't happen because their efforts will not be effective at reducing the number of illegal immigrants. They will make some high-profile deportations, start rejecting and deporting every marginalized person currently in the immigration pipeline, and continue to turn a blind eye towards employers who rely on exploitation wages.
Yep. This is just a fascist carnival show. It'll make their base feel like they are winning.
Prison labor. The illegalization of homelessness. The criminalization of prrviously acceptable statuses.
None of us will be laughing for long.
This is also my take.
Yeah, private prison company stocks sky rocketed when Trump won.
It happened before in Florida, didn't it?
Georgia too, probably others. And the ironic thing is the same people who call for them to be deported will acknowledge they are hard working people who get little pay for the job. They just didn't think what their actions would result in. Kind of like this election.
