Mass deportation would, according to economists, labor groups, and immigration advocates, threaten the economy and disrupt the U.S. food supply chain.

    But not for him and his circle of elite friends.

      Having a nation of starving people who are armed to the teeth usually doesn’t end well for the ruling class.

        Don’t count on it when Trump has already said that he’ll use the military on those who are “the enemy within” which includes everyone who voted against him.

          The neat thing about fascism is that eventually everyone becomes the enemy.

          And let’s be honest, they’ll scapegoat so many groups that neighbors will shoot at neighbors first.

    Ironic, considering how right leaning most farmers are…

      Machines can’t pick everything, so that means they need to get their families that they drove away, or set up some fancy kind of child labor force that eventually gets a conspiracy when one of the workers gets electrocuted by a fallen transformer, but nothing changes because they can’t do anything but keep working. If citizens were solely responsible for this kind of work we might see that kind of conspiracy disappear or at the least get more attention when people die in freak accidents due to cheap people hiring cheap labor. https://www.wqad.com/article/news/local/drone/8-in-the-air/2-sterling-teens-die-after-being-electrocuted-while-detasseling-11/526-27e206cf-9432-411b-a384-a8f41a0ed91b

    I’m going to guess it would reduce our food production by more than 10%.

      This damn bot needs to be retired. I’ve never seen it in the positive number of upvotes. I’m aware I can block it, but I’ve decided not to because I need something in my life to siphon anger into

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
