The construction industry and agriculture have already been affected by the loss of a labor force as people are deported and immigration shows down. And:

"Immigration expands the base of taxpayers, which means more people to share the burden of paying taxes to pay for defense."

"This includes undocumented immigrants, because their employers collect payroll taxes out of their wages, with the added fiscal payoff that they will never collect benefits. And because immigrants are relatively young and healthy, they increase the amount going into government coffers while having a delayed impact on outlays."

"Trump: 'In Minnesota, it's very Somalia-oriented. These people come from a crooked country, disgusting country, one of the worst countries in the world. They come to our country -- low IQs -- and they rob us blind. Stupid people, and they rob us blind.'"

~ Aaron Rupar

Trump's confidence that he has "good genes" and a stellar IQ will never cease to amaze me. No mirrors in his house?

"Donald Trump’s disgusting racism is the cover for his gross incompetence. The racism is what he uses to convince his supporters to ignore his pathetic job performance.

And it works. Trump is objectively bad at running the government, but he’s objectively good at running a Klan rally, and his supporters value the latter so much that they forgive the former."

"the construction of concentration camps on U.S. soil, and the increasingly aggressive and violent tactics of ICE. ...

One of the most disturbing findings of the survey was that 41% of Americans favor allowing the government to detain undocumented immigrants in internment camps until they can be deported."
