Mass Deportations, the Economy, and You
“Apr 16, 2025 — Mass deportations would shrink the U.S. economy by up to 6.8%, according to the American Immigration Council. If all of this sounds particularly grim, which it …”
Shrink the economy up to 6.8%! Bahahaha! The American Immigration Council will need to try a lot harder than that to scare me! How silly this is! As if I actually care about the size of the economy! I don’t care if the economy shrinks 50%! It means nothing to me. If that’s the worst thing that can happen, I don’t see a problem at all. Carry on, ICE agents!
As for ‘Me and the Economy’, we are not friends. We are not on good terms. We do not trust each other. Sometimes, the economy throws me under the bus. Recessions, economic downturns, bank bailouts, at-will employment, outsourcing, automation. Oh, and illegal immigration. Seriously, fuck off.
What’s the good in mass deportations?
“6 days ago — Deport murders, rapists. Get that, too. But a million? Many have been here a long time. Work, pay taxes cause no trouble. They might be your neighbor …”
What is it exactly about illegal foreigners engaged in work that is supposed to make me feel okay about them competing with me for jobs and resources?
They work hard, the mainstream media says. Who gives a crap!? Everyone who has a job ‘works hard.‘ This isn’t another appeal to work ethic and self-sufficiency, is it? Apparently, all that hard work has caused the unfortunate consequence of lowering my wages and reducing my opportunities. Was that the desired effect? If it is, then you need to get your head checked.
Oh, and they pay taxes too? I don’t care! How much taxes? What type of taxes? Do they pay the same amount of taxes as legal citizens? No, absolutely not. And even so, what does that actually do for me? Not a whole lot.
Illegal aliens’ tax contributions go to the government. They might help pay for a miniscule percentage of public services, but they will not put food on my table. Their taxes will not pay my rent. Their taxes will not create job opportunities for my children. Their taxes will not pay for my racial and cultural self-preservation.
Illegal aliens might be my neighbors? So what? They ’cause no trouble’ you say? That is a lie. I think you were mistakenly referring to legal immigrants. Illegal aliens are always engaged in illegal activities until they can secure a job in my country. Some of them continue to commit crimes even after they find work. Please stop churning out these low IQ articles.
What Trump’s Plan to Deport Millions of Immigrants Will Mean for Central America
“Oct 31, 2024 —Experts in Central America say mass deportations would be catastrophic for the region—and increase the number of refugees fleeing their native countries.”
Last time I checked I was in the United States of America. The problems of Latin America are not my problems. I have my own problems to deal with, but you don’t care about that do you? Do you care about me at all, Progressive Magazine? It sure doesn’t seem like it. And guess what? That is rude and condescending. That hurts my feelings. In fact, before I continue breaking your idiotic arguments apart, I’d like to say, “Fuck you, Progressive Magazine! You are trash!”
Latin American dysfunction was not my problem until the Biden administration decided to let in millions of unvetted illegal aliens, eager to get their hands on whatever money and resources they could. And that was what the good ones did. The bad ones were much, much worse. How would liberals even know the crimes committed by illegal aliens when their news comes from publications like Progressive Magazine? You see the problem here!?
These people from Latin America began fleeing their own corrupt and chaotic countries to come to my country. Isn’t that sort of cowardly? Doesn’t that also imply that when things get rough in my country, these folks will just pack up and leave for someplace better?
Let’s be honest, these Latin American newcomers to the United States generally do not have a legitimate asylum claim. I know this might make you upset, but they are not actually seeking ‘asylum.’ They are economic opportunists. They feel no loyalty to the United States.
Why are so many of them still proudly waving the flag of the country that was supposedly oppressing them?
Mass deportations would harm the US economy
“Sep 26, 2024 — New research by scholars at the Peterson Institute for International Economics (PIIE) finds that mass deportations would lower US GDP and reduce employment . If Trump’s deportation plans were enacted, US GDP would be between 1.2 and 7.4 percent below baseline by the end of 2028″
Guess what? I don’t care about “the economy.” What has the economy done for me lately? You think people give a shit about your GDP fantasy? The economy can wait. Economic growth can wait. Employers’ addiction to cheap labor can wait. Seriously, fuck off. We voted for this.
