Since this is about to move from the rhetorical to the real, it is interesting to consider the impacts. My guess...
-
Lot of ruckus as bleeding heart types tie themselves to taco trucks or whatever meaningless drama displays. Sad talk and tsk tsk from the reanimated Maddow show. Gringos with nothing better to do stage feel-good protests and fight with cops, etc.
-
ICE runs short on budget... this is going to cost, and the money has to come from somewhere.
-
Detention centers fill up. Again a budget issue, but enterprising corporate prisons will probably find a way.
-
Repatriation costs climb. Sending these people home costs money too, there is also the question of whether their home countries want them.
-
Will there or won't there be a commensurate rise in the price of agricultural and meat packing goods, restaurant meals, construction, laundry services, etc. ? These are the traditional destinations for illegals, and the facile economic analysis suggests that this will cost the consumer. But who knows, we've never really tried it.
-
Will crime rates drop or stay the same? Different studies suggest different criminal profiles for illegal immigrants. I've certainly read some that suggest that they are less likely to offend, and I'm sure some of you have read something to the contrary. It's hard to imagine a minority of 3% o the population having a big impact.
-
Will there be some kind of new day in America? Will this change things materially for working class or any citizens?
-
What will stop them coming back? If we spend a bunch of coin to arrest, detain, house, and transport someone back home and they turn around and sneak back... that could get expensive.
TBH I could GAF about illegal immigrants getting kicked out of the USA. Lining up with foreign shivering masses is an arbitrary liberal sacred cow. I'm a lot more interested in the welfare of our own citizens, I'd like to see the least of us better paid, housed, fed, etc. before we start working on the considerable problems of the rest of the world.
Maybe Trump (Orange Turd) is on to something. My gut says is that he is not. It's easy to look at someone different and say "that's the problem". Actually improving the quality of life in America is going to be complicated, and a simple fix like "kick out all the illegals" isn't going to move the needle. Or if it does, it will move several needles: some good and some bad.


All the fat ass obese white middle age guys will start to do their own yard work and lose some of their fat asses, because they’ll finally need to get off it!
