Quote:I'm just using the numbers you provided. That's a pretty broad range. Have to question the validity of this estimate as there is a vast difference between 50 and 100,000.


Again, those 11 million illegals are making money doing jobs the vast majority of unemployed natural born citizens will not do. You think deportation riot squads are a sustainable workforce solution?


Admit it, a year ago you never thought deporting 11 million people was even an attainable goal. It still isn't, but the tangerine snake oil salesman has guaranteed it (believe me) and you're taking it hook, line and sinker.

 

Here's the hyperbole.  Deportation riot squads.

 

The whole "Our economy would be in ruins without latinos doing menial jobs" thing is always the default argument.  The only part of the country somewhat dependent on undocumented workers is in the rural southwest where work visas are very easily issued to those who want to work the fields.  It really isn't a big deal.  Its kind of degrading to always lump together 11 million people into being landscapers and field workers.

 

I don't think deporting 11 million people is an attainable goal now.  I'm perfectly happy just deporting the illegals as they are encountered.  There is no need to go rounding people up.  If Trump wants to try, more power to him.
