Trump deportations - smart?

the Trump deportations fly in the face of a serious structural labor shortage at all levels of the economy. The labor shortage is likely permanent due to the aging of the population. That alone should stop deportations of employed immigrants (residing legally or illegally) who have kept a clean criminal record since entering the country. However, Trump also wants to engage in massive voodoo economics which will require unprecedented growth rates to avoid a debt spiral catastrophe. That's insane. Increased deportations or voodoo economics. You can't justify trying to do both.

ICE is mainly targeting blue states (and especially cities in blue states). This is Trump getting revenge for them not voting for him. Immigration doesn't really matter, except as a weapon and in order to fool rubes like slowwhand

Yes. I think the tRumps should be deported while there is still time.

Cardinal Robert McElroy, the archbishop of Washington D.C., slammed President Trump’s immigration policies by describing the administration’s measures as “inhumane” and “morally repugnant.”

“It’s right to be able to control our borders. However, what’s going on now is something far beyond that,” McElroy told CNN on Tuesday.
“It is a mass, indiscriminate deportation of men and women and children and families, which literally rips families apart and is intended to do so,” he added.

Oh those activist bishopses!

[Uncle Sparky]

Some of them don't even recognize tRump as God.

These might be commie bishops

Funny how a socialist Muslim mayoral candidate campaigning on reduced transit fees, free school lunches, and rent freezes is being vilified in the mainstream US media as a communist terrorist trying to destroy New York and America.
Funny.

A friend was recently in DC. Apparently, many federal building have new patriotic banners...

Another one of those guys who had it coming. His crime: overstaying a few days for medical reasons. Three months jail time for ya!

I wouln't recommend people to visit US now. Many of the engineers who report to me have H1B or Greencard. I need them to be able to travel and be productive. Currently I assume there will be no problems (they are highly paid and the company I work for is large). But I am concerned.
