The long-term cost of Trump’s mass deportation: The economy could contract between 2.6% and 6%
It's so odd that farmer hate immigrants but couldn't survive without them.
They certainly don’t call it voting against your own interests for nothing!
They could, they'd just make less money if they had to, you know, pay for their labor and give their employees rights..
Or when they can’t find enough workers and their crops die in the fields…
In my experience Republicans with skin in the game who understand how the bread gets buttered aren't as xenophobic as the poor ones.
For example I work in construction and many projects would grind to a halt without illegal labor. Everyone implicitly understands this so we all agree to look the other way.
Illegals are willing to work harder jobs, work with more enthusiasm, and with lower pay. Costs of construction would skyrocket without them.
The most xenophobic ones are the ones that feel threatened by the presence of illegals. Ie low skill and low wage.
Ehhh I have family in-laws that have giant farms and are pretty xenophobic and have to be reminded they wouldn't exist without their labor.
I think they're mad at the wrong people. The middle men are the bad guys in my eyes. Same goes for bullshit like pharmacy benefit companies.
