That deporting or putting the undocumented in detention camps will cause FOOD PRICES TO SKYROCKET???
These people are hard workers.
They tend our fields.
They pick the fruit.
They work in slaughterhouses.
They work in meat processing plants of all kinds.
Plus they pay taxes and get nothing in return. And OVERWHELMINGLY commit less crime than citizens.
When they're gone, who will do the work? Trumptard INCELS?? I doubt it.
With no workers to do the work, prices will skyrocket. Imagine paying $12 for ONE ORANGE or $75 for ONE CHICKEN.
Has anyone told the MAGATs?

(403 posts)Powell kept the interest rates high to squeeze the middle class and dic-turd could win the presidency. Powell knows if he does not start lowering interest we will start breaking down the economy, so he reduced it.
Dick-turd not in office yet asked Powell to resign from the Fed cause he wants full control over the federal reserve. Poor Powell, is angry, refuses to resign and says the law says trump cannot fire him. What law has Dick-turd ever followed.

(31,488 posts)The best have to do with explaining how most Americans
are anti-intellectual, under-educated, and lack critical
thinking skills.
Others explain how children are groomed and indoctrinated
into hate, bigotry, and fear of books or teachers who actually
provide them with truths they have been conditioned to
disbelievel.
The issues of evolution and climate change give us two
primary examples of this. I spent long years at various forums
discussing these issues, and conservatives and Christians to
a tee were really rabid about disproving evolution and climate
change.
No amount of logic, facts, or science would change their minds.
We have a great number of people who pride themselves in
believing only in the bible, for example; and pick and sort out
pseudo-scientists to use to try to make their false beliefs seem
true.
Magats and Christians have not changed to this day in any way
on their views of these subjects. And they truly believe that
liberals and real scientists are evil, godless people just for
trying to help them get a real education.
Look at the total decimation of the Florida education system
as the test case for what is now going to happen on the federal
level.
It hardly bears thinking about.

(47,796 posts)He'd have to start building camps now to process millions of people. It can't be done on Day 1. It probably can't be done at all. Think of it as "build the wall." Never happened.

(1,676 posts)A "mass deportation" will never occur unless they find another source of labor. He's always been about showmanship and creating a spectacle to placate his cult so they'll conduct a few roundups, have them sent to a staging facility, and eventually deported. It's all about publicity and media coverage.

(47,796 posts)I doubt his ability to pull it off “immediately,” which is what he promised. Remember his wall?
What I’m afraid will happen is he’ll set Stephen Miller loose to commit atrocities against people currently crossing the border.
And again…how are his rich pals going to feel about him devastating his low wage work force?

(14 posts)They just have to hate, plain and simple. Hate everyone who isn't white because through Fox News, etc., they have turned into the boogie man.
I've always given people the benefit of the doubt, been kind, but no more. I now hate and I hate all of them with a vengeance.

(11,488 posts)Who do the MAGAts think will change their diapers and wipe their asses if they ever lose control of their bodily functions? Who will care for their needs then? Caregivers in nursing homes and memory care facilities are angels! My mother-in-law was in a memory care facility for the last 10 years of her life. Had it not been for the caregivers, which were all immigrants, I don't know what we would have done because as she declined her needs went way way up to where we wouldn't have been able to cope and keep up.

(16,394 posts)I live in a mostly senior community. There are many in their 70's-90's and I have seen the people who are hired to help them stay in their homes. In fact, I just met three of them. They clean house, they do yardwork, they do odd jobs inside that the owner of the home can no longer do. The irony is that some of the home owners in here are racist to the core, but when they can't do something themselves any longer, they are the first to hire anyone regardless of their skin color. Such hypocrites.
The three women that I met this week are just about the nicest people you could ever meet and they are very hardworking.

(11,488 posts)There won't be anybody around to help them.
And to think Kamala was going to make it easier and more affordable for more people to age in their own homes. Now that's gone along with so much more. We can expect to see a lot of nursing home closures due to lack of staff. Everybody loses.

(1,941 posts)Grabbed a dozen eggs and there was a guy waiting behind me. He actually said "I'm glad these are finally gonna be cheap again". My response: "Well, half the country just voted to flush the WHOLE country down the shitter for egg prices. They better come down." The puzzled look on his face told me that the "Find Out" part is gonna be really hard on him.

(1,338 posts)and maybe hundreds of millions shipping immigrants, yet won't spend a dime to build low income homes for those less than poverty level families and homeless vet Americans.
Ask your magat neighbors who voted for Tramp why that is and why they hate vets and poor Americans.
As an aside for the probable increase in food prices, you gotta feel badly for those poor magats who drive their $80,000+ pickups that get 15 mpg to a store to complain about the cost of food going up a few percent. Tough life, there for them.

(2,258 posts)These supposed problems with mass arrests and detention can be and have been easily solved. Slave labor and confiscation of property can be employed. Any regime willing to enact mass arrests and detention is certainly willing to use slave labor and confiscation of property.
As for the MAGA supporters ever having any regrets, read what William Shirer discovered when interviewing every day Germans after WWII.
“There was so much that was true that did not make sense: the monumental apathy of the German people and their deep regret, not that they had started the war, but merely that they had lost it; their whining complaints at the lack of food and fuel and their total lack of sympathy or even interest in the worse plight of the occupied peoples, for which they bore so much responsibility; their boredom at the very mention of the Nuremberg trial, which they were convinced was only an Allied propaganda stunt; their striking unreadiness for, or interest in, democracy, which we, with typical Anglo-Saxon fervor and blindness, were trying to shove down their throats.”
― William L. Shirer, End of a Berlin Diary
Their deep regret, not that they had started the war, but merely that they had lost it. Let that sink in.

(6,990 posts)animal feeding operations and in large dairy operations are in this category. Plus people need to realize that it's not just the harvesting that is done by this group but also the planting and tending.
This country ends up with incredibly stupid people in control now. I have pointed out in other posts that we could suffer a catastrophe if a country in the Middle East with huge oil resources and billions wanted to invest millions in setting up companies to control a portion of the US access to the agricultural workers it needs. They would not need to dominate it but only squeeze off access to enough to cause severe shortages of labor and therefore drive the markets sky high. Media would do it's part by showing crops rotting in the field, fields not planted etc. For the most part they would still go to diners in Iowa where some numbskull would look at the camera and pin the blame for going broke all on the Democrats etc. These are the same people who will eat a steady diet loaded with saturated fat for every meal but when they have the heart attack they'll blame it on a vaccine they got as a child because RFK told them so.

(3,100 posts)Seriously. It doesn't matter to them. All it is about is getting rid of non-white people. They need to feel the pain of the increase in prices. They need to see the worker shortage and waste happen to them directly and ferociously and then maybe they will realize how badly they messed up but I doubt it

(6,686 posts)They are just too stupid to even understand this dicotomy. We are rapidly approaching a country of majority-minority population.
Preventing abortion will increase the population of those least able to afford this healthcare. Rich white Christo-fascists will travel wherever to get abortions. Everyone else is stuck. The minority population increase will have the exact opposite effect of their xenophobic wet dream.
