I am just stating something obvious.

 

A mass deportation as promised by Trump will result in a lot of vacant jobs. As the unemployment rate is already low, it will cause wage inflation and price inflation (businesses will increase prices because they have to pay higher wages).

 

That's Trump main problem: his promises are in contradiction with each other. He promised to decrease inflation (which is now already low), but mass deportation, tariffs and tax cuts will increase inflation.

 

 

 

 

What do you do with all these human being who have been let into the country to do menial jobs when those jobs are passed on to robots over the next five years?

Absolutely - one simply cannot put a price tag on racial purity ( or genes)!

 

Nothing to do with race it's about legality

Throw them out to the other side of the border they entered. Mexico is culpable and they should pay the price in order to curtail future shenanigans.

There is no significant unemployment increase forecast for the next 5 years.

Edit: you can also factor in the fact that baby boomers are retiring while U.S. born low-birth generations are joining the job market, so only foreign-born can fill the gap.

That's insane.

They're sent bills to pay for the deportation actions. They refuse to pay for them, they then have tariffs imposed to bring in the money, they simply stop trading.

 

You simply can't expect other countries to fund your policies.

 

If you intend to fund the expulsions by confiscating the (legally held) assets and wealth of those you expell - that is a very slippery slope!
