I keep saying this and I’m honestly surprised that some of the educated sociopaths in the Republican party haven’t pushed back. But maybe they can’t get anybody elected without feeding the hate.
The point is: Even if you remove all morality and you do not care one bit about the lived experience of other human beings who also only get to live once, it is STILL stupid to be ejecting people from the country. Our economy is built on infinite growth, and you cannot grow your portfolio of companies and/or stocks without a supply of laborers to underpay.
Good on us for driving away both ends of the spectrum – the cheap laborers AND the Ph.D academics!
edit: I forgot to mention that this is happening in the context of the population of the entire developed world beginning to level off and even decline. I feel like one of the big social ills of the next generation could be developing nations still getting the shaft on the global stage as all the rich countries court their best workers.
If you look at the list & map here, you can see that the only continent still adding to the world population is Africa.

These are the same people when a spouse or family member gets deported they still say they support trump. So even though their workforce disappearing places their business in jeopardy they can’t help but lick the boot.

You’d think that Trump states would remember the very recent stupidity they went through when they passed anti-immigrant laws and lost billions of dollars when they realized that immigrants made the state go round and what Democrats say is true that white people don’t want to do those jobs.
And then I remember they’re Republican.
I bet native people would want to do those jobs, but the real stickler is they’ll want a livable wage to go along with it.
I wish I could find the article where they talked to a few farmers in Georgia where they did increase the wage but none of the Real American’s^TM came back because the work was too hard for their soft, soft Real American^TM hands.
But here’s some other stories that I found:

and the failed use of probationers:

Not that they are humans with rights, they are things that they need to exploit
I gave up on that idea after covid. If you couldn’t be bothered to put a piece of fabric over your face to protect your neighbors, it’s a lost cause.
Most people don’t care about anybody but themselves, and possibly their immediate family. That was a lonely realization.
I so very much want more journalists to ask Pedonald voters in such situations just what they thought was going to happen?
Did they just think it was going to be like some Left Behind thing, but instead of xtians, it would be all the brown and black people spirited away, and leaving the economy unchanged?
You don’t understand! Their workers are the Good Ones™, not those seething hordes of criminal rapists and murderers that Jesus 2.0 is protecting them from!
You rely on

Its would be funny if it wasn’t so rage inducing to hear these ignorant fools caterwaul about something they helped make happen. If it was just them I would still be laughing. Unfortunately all the innocent people who have been abducted and put in cages keep me steadily focused on rage.
Edit: Inducing
well said. I have this feeling all the time. I wish they could have their own seperate thing that only effected them and normal folks could have things normal. I have mused sometimes that if there is a heaven and a hell they would have the same basic setup as earth except you would only be with people on your level.
Sucks to be you!
Have the day you voted for!
Cry harder maga.
Don’t worry, once the camps are up and running there will be plenty of “free” labor to make up the shortfall.
Yeah, but only if you pay the Trump regime a premium for that free labor.
ORLY?
Hilarious and this is just the beginning 🍿🥤
