? wont do jack shit and the economy will hit record recession

How To Tank The Economy Summed Up In 9 Minutes:

Going to be a disaster. So who will do the tough jobs?? This economy will implode. I’ve been saying for years penalize the companies hiring them. Do that first and back they go simple. Been saying it for 20 years. Trump hired illegals all the time. Funny how that changed. This guy is a joke. Mandate my ass

The penalty for Illegals should be financial, not removal. I don't think we should limit the number of immigrants, full stop. Yes, they need to get paperwork to be here, and that should be part of the process. If you're illegal, come forward and get the paperwork to be here, then pay restitution by an added 5% tax every year moving forward for every year you were here illegally.\n\nRemoving even 5M undocumented citizens creates an employment vacuum that will hurt our economy. Why hurt our economy when you can boost our economy through billions of extra tax revenue.

Republicans may crash our economy by deporting all immigrants and migrants that work so many jobs and with their tariffs which will raise our grocery prices. Holy cow!

We can provide a method for these people living here, making life here, adding to our economy without the cruelty. I vote to return this woman to Mexico.

Secure the border? Yes. Prioritize deporting those who have committed crimes? Yes. But remember that the American economy relies heavily on foreign labour so the process of dealing with illegal immigrants needs to include dramatically increasing the number of immigration officials to get the productive, employed illegals some kind of legal status. The import tariffs are going to cause inflation. Taking away productive workers will further inflate prices.\n\nThen, of course, there’s the illegal immigrants who are entrepreneurs like Elon Musk. Washington Post reports, and Elon’s brother confirmed, that they entered the US illegally although they do now have legal status in the US. Elon had a student visa to do graduate studies at Stanford but he never signed up for a single course. Instead he created a startup. So he didn’t comply with his student visa and he was working illegally. Quite the hypocrite. Should Elon Musk be deported for his illegal entry back in the 1990s? There’s no evidence he committed any other crimes so perhaps not. But if not, then just treat all the illegals with the same consideration.

Trump will not make your life better. You voted for chaos and job losses. Any of Trumps policies will kill the economy. I know am screwed.

Won't it cost to build camps to house them, who will feed all these people, will have to pay the gaurds who gaurd them, theyll need t-paper etc. Our workers will be gone, what will that do food will be scarce price will go up. They add millions to our budget, they can't file a tax return, they shop. A massive deportation is going to be a massive hit to the economy. Just sayin

I voted Trump as a Latino, but the deportation will be the criminals in our eyes. Many of us with the farms and pick fruit and other hard labor that others don’t wan to do. Our economy wins when us Latinos do the work.

The United States needs to have everybody educated in this country after this horrible president is kicked out for destroying the economy, so we can fix the stupid in this country and not elect stupid leaders like Donald Trump

This is gonna cause recession or worse. I wish the American people would be smart enough to realize what mass deportation would mean to the economy.

The American people were swindled by Trump. And he will hurt this economy. And we will deserve it for our stupidity.

These republicans are clowns. They have no plans to deport these people because these people are needed in agriculture. Not going to happen and Rubio knows this. This is why he wants to categorize removal. These republicans are scared that Trump will tank our economy.

So Trump is going to deport the cheapest work force in America ?? and he thinks will help the economy ??

Why don't you focus on building America to be better and grearter than wasting your time, efforts and resources on the deportation of immigrants who are contributing immensely to the American economy.

Mass deportation means there will not be anyone to harvest our produce, so we will have massive food shortages and dramatic increases in inflation. The Republican Party used the border security lie to scare people into voting for their racist ideology. They despise non-white people, even the ones our economy depends on. Everyone should prepare for a major recession and dramatic increases in inflation. These Republican policies are going to crash the US economy. This is what you get when you vote for a convicted felon who is a prolific liar and racist named Donald Trump.

Watch how quick homelessness goes down when they do there will be more jobs more money to help Americans and the economy will recover quicker

Idiot. Goldman Sachs and the bulk of economists including noble prize winners say deporting all the illegals will crash the economy in 2025. The Fascists lied about the economic effects of deporting 15 million illegals and\nCNN is lying by not revealing the above. Food prices will skyrocket with no cheap illegals to pick crops. Call your Senators and US reps about the above. Watch the Meidas Touche and Tom Hartmann and dump lying CNN.

You're not going to pick and choose on immigrants Donald because you promised all of the illegals will go back. This will tank our economy again. But your weakness will fold and you will try to go back on your promise, again. The extreme hateful hypocrisy of existing Latinos and the taxes that will be lost

I think the US economy is gonna boom particularly manufacturing. Canada will benefit bigly

People still don't realize the tanked economy that was handed over to Biden. Now Trump's going to do it again and several different Fashions to where he leaves this office 4 years later with such a f***** up economy and a f***** up deficit. That's too tanked economies handed over by Republicans to Democrats to where the Democrat had to eat it all and eat all the unjustified opinions from the American public and the Republican Party. The cruel strategy of the Republican party has hurt every American in this country for the past 15 years because they want power back so much that they'll hurt the previous administration and American citizens on purpose. It's on record

It won't stop with the illegals. A mass round up and deportation is just phase 1 of Trumps plan. He will go after legal immigrants in phase 2. What maga morons dont understand is that illegals make up a pretty big part of the labor force in America. Mass deportation and the 60% tariff of anything from China (which is 90% of all goods sold in America) and 20% on everything ( food, oil, etc) will crash the economy and send us into a recession. You can't put high tariffs, which the end consumer (us) will end up paying and make things cheaper. It's like all common sense went out the window.

Very very soon the canada govt will roll it back. Its economy is due to Indians, indian students and other workers. Canadians are lazy people who dont study hard, dont make many docs or engg or other professionals and are enjoying social security. They are less in number, that's why the country needs people from the outside

The funny thing is that when the Rs destroy everything, they won't have dems to blame...they have all 3 branches....there are 3 things that are going to happen: 1- there going to try to take credit for JoBi economy (short term), 2- since they have no significant policies, nothing good will get done, economy is going to crash (mi-term) 3- there going to try to blame dems for there incompetencies (ever lasting). In all my years of following politics, i still don't get why people vote for Rs because there always in opposition and never propose solutions...there will always be a Dem to clean it up...

It's time to get LEGAL AND PAY TAXES ALSO OR LEAVE. They are GIVING billions of taxpayers dollars to illegals who come here and strain our systems while AMERICANS ARE LOSING OUT. We need our manufacturing back in our own countries. And our own farmers can handle our food. Our farmers are under fire. They need our support. And we have always had WORK VISAS for seasonal workers for AG. That doesn't mean they can come here illegally and DRAIN OUR RESOURCES . This isn't even remotely logical. You cannot have a successful economy or a secure safe country WITHOUT LAWS to govern immigration.

I am sooo looking forward to watching the trump regime trying to deport ALL illegal immigrants. And then all the MAGA criminals will be filling the jobs that the immigrants now have vacated….NOT ???. The US economy will collapse because there will be no one filling those necessary and useful jobs. Watch a MAGA idiot desperately looking for strawberries at the grocery store …..or any other US grown veggies or fruits. The non US grown produce will be exorbitantly expensive due to trump tariffs, and American grown stuff will be rotting in the fields ????

Get ready for an economy crash peeps

mass deportation is a bad idea you idiot. this will hurt the economy the GOP&trump with lots of voters.

People really dont study history. A notable example of mass deportation impacting the economy is the mass repatriation of Mexican immigrants during the Great Depression in the 1930s. The U.S. government deported or encouraged the departure of hundreds of thousands of Mexican immigrants (many of whom were legally present and even U.S. citizens). This policy was partly driven by the belief that these individuals were taking jobs that could go to American citizens during a time of economic hardship.\n\nEconomic Impact in the 1930s:\n\n1. Labor Shortages: The sudden reduction in the Mexican labor force left many industries, especially agriculture and infrastructure, with labor shortages. Mexican workers had been essential to industries like farming, railroads, and manufacturing, where they took on physically demanding jobs that other workers were less willing to perform. As a result, productivity in these sectors declined.

THIS GUY HAS NO IDEA WHAT A CATASTROPHE THIS WOULD BE FOR OUR ECONOMY. THIS IS VERY CRUEL!!!

With millions of jobs not being done the economy will immediately crash.\nAlso millions of taxpayers (sales and income taxes) not paying taxes paid public services will slow or halt.\nLike it or not this huge workforce has become an integral part of our economy.\nThen consider the cost of rounding up, housing and transporting these millions at a projected cost of over $10,000 each.

Lol, they're going to crash the economy again and then the right-wing billionaire mafia are going to buy up everything.

Give these MAGA clowns a year or two and they will destroy the economy, as they always do. Then the American people will have a dramatic change of heart.

I hope you're all ready for even more expensive groceries at the supermarket since you’ll be deporting all those immigrants employed at farms everywhere. I expect the economy to take a nosedive as a huge chunk of workers are deported, illegal or otherwise. I’m sure you a$$holes will somehow find a way to blame the Dems/Libs. Unfortunately, you’ll have no one but yourselves to blame for this shitshow. I expect healthcare, and all “entitlements” to be gutted/destroyed. We warned you, and now we all have to suffer for your stupidity. I hope you’re happy patting yourselves on the back for destroying our country. Congratulations, you did it! You’ve destroyed our country.

Remember wanting 60% of the Hispanics do construction work work and meat factories cutting up meat and chicken to send it to the market and grocery stores and some of them work out in the field for 10 12 hours a day without complaining rain or hot weather and get paid minimum wage just to be out there to have all those vegetables send to the markets and to the groceries now that's where all the prices are going to go up because there ain't going to be not too many people doing that kind of work I'm not being racist but black people and white people will not be out there out in the field for 10 to 12 hours a day they will start complaining it's not easy work it's hard work and the rest of the 40% are wise or blacks are meat cutters Park Construction like I say 60% are Hispanics that do that kind of work everything is going to go up the prices are going to go up and the economy is going to crash everything is going to go up prices on Foods clothing all the Imports Blake Automobiles and parts animatronics and parts and clothing that mostly comes from China all that's going to go up and we're all going to have to pay more money out of our pockets like a extra dollars more and this is the truth??? Trump is considered the worst president in history and it's going to get worse with him with the second term in 2025

Should they be here illegally....no, but:\nA. Deportations on the scale he's talking about, is not logistically feasible.\nB. If implemented, it'll most likely cripple the economy.\nC. These people are paying millions in taxes, and we'll lose that revenue.\nThe Trump cult rodent, is a dastardly, ignorant beast!

Immigrants, both documented and undocumented, commit crimes at a lower rate than natural-born US citizens. That is a statistically proven fact, and it makes sense considering that if we speed, we could get a ticket. If they speed, they might get deported. That's a fine to pay versus a potential death sentence... most people who immigrate here are trying to escape the very things they get accused of doing. Look, I'm not saying that people coming in illegally is a good thing, that every one of them has good intentions, or that border security is acceptable as it is. I just wish we put this much attention on those at the top of the income chain committing white-collar crime instead of something like this and fix the immigration situation without policies that will flip our already jacked up economy upside down for the sake of votes.

THIS IS BIG BUSINESS FOR THE PRIVATE PRISON INDUSTRY AND AMERICANS ARE GOING TO BE PAYING BILLIONS TO HOUSE THESE PEOPLE WHILE THEY GO THROUGH DUE PROCESS..THIS WILL DESTROY THE AMERICAN ECONOMY.

WE DO NOT NEED ANYMORE IMMIGRANTS IN CANADA. OUR ECONOMY IS AWFUL ALREADY. TOO MUCH DEMAND, NOT ENOUGH SUPPLY

Give MAGA what they voted for! Mass deportations will collapse the US economy, inflation will skyrocket, GDP will collapse. Hospitals, Schools, Universities will shutter, educated professionals will leave, infrastructure will become dilapidated. Let's see how MAGA reacts.

The government are the corrupted ones greedy to fill their pockets putting Canadian and American livelihoods and economy on a downfall. They needed to be deported back to where their ancestors came from. The native could do a better job running the country, haven’t seen them had a single chance to run it.

Dont go to Canada. Simple. Economy over there is already in shambles.

Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. Deporting all “illegals” means eliminating about 7.5 million jobs the economy absolutely requires, which nobody else will do. And going after employers does that job even faster. Losing 7.5 million jobs is economic suicide, couple that with outrageous import taxes (ie tariffs) that will skyrocket costs, and we have another Great Depression. And that’s what these clowns are promising to do on day one. When someone tells you they hate government like Republicans do, maybe we shouldn’t be shocked when they suck at running it. Buckle up, America.

WE LIVE IN COUNTRY OF IDIOTS TRUMP KILLED PEOPLE LAST TIME AND RUINNED ECONOMY AND WILL JUST STEAL AGAIN AND STUPID AMERICANS WILL PAY FOR IT

The day he is sworn in. Every citizen should sit at home, dont watch it on tv, or media! Don't go work, stack up, and dont spend any money. We can crash our own economy!

The real question is: How badly will Trump F up the economy this time?!?!

Please do,,,Texas the biggest whiner about illegals economy would fall apart without them. Their own AG in 2021 put a report that a minimum of 12% of their work force(1.2M people )are 100% known to be illegal. Tx has individual state laws for it being a crime to hire illegals, they never enforce it b/c the business owners that donate to them would have a fit. They also have a law about it being a crime to rent to illegals, again not enforced b/c their supporters would be upset losing rental income. Tx loves illegals, their economy was built on it for decades, they just want a certain amount they can exploit. Tx has a 7.25 min wage for a reason and illegals may get paid even less than that b/c they have no recourse. Other states that love to complain about them, while loving to exploit them. 19 red states have 7.25 min wage, they don't want to pay US workers a real wage so they use illegals.

The economy is not going to handle deportations + tariffs very well. Prepare yourselves, everyone.

A massive shortage of agriculture workers, meat processing plant workers, domestic care, and many other critical parts of the US economy. Go for it, see what happens. Then there's the millions of children who are US citizens, you can't legally deport them, what do you intend to with them? Oh, and are you going to round up the millions of Canadians, Brits and other white English speaking illegals? Unintended consequences are a real bitch.
