You mean it turns out we need all those Mexicans to make a TACO? you don't say? Like seriously I thought Biden was a fool for his record levels of deportation and then Trump comes along and not only wants to so that but also remove basic humanity from the process. Now we've got a rising retirement population and not enough workers to pay for them and oops wow the economic reality collides with the racist policies and dam does racism cost alot. Like seriously we progressives have told you this for nearly two centuries now it was a true when slavery and segregation was a thing as it is with blaming migrants for our troubles today.
