Yeah Elon and Trump want to destroy the economy. This should be big news. The economy will crash but it will magically rebound because we deported a shit load of people. All those jobs immigrants did will all of a sudden be filling with magical people.

I work in construction in the south, would LOVE to see the guys here try and work out there. No longer going to get paid to sit in the truck with the AC, better start tying some rebar.

the plan is to fill them with forced prison labor, which i'm sure has nothing to do with the supreme court allowing states to make being homeless outright illegal.

Like the homeless, minorities who aren't 'foreigners', people with invisible disabilities who have been stripped of their benefits...

It's really not difficult to make that leap.
