    If slaughter houses, chicken/egg farming, fruit picking, packaging, etc. comes screeching to a halt due to these raids then those employers stand to lose a ton of money as the food goes bad while they scramble to try to convince Joe MAGA to come work for them for a fraction of minimum wage.

      fraction of minimum wage

      I do wonder if they might turn to using prison labor - and finding lots of reasons to throw more “undesirables” into the prison system to get that labor. Might be a lot of “war on drugs” stuff comes roaring back, esp. on something like cannabis…because it’s ripe for highly selective enforcement.

        Lol. They are going to have millions of “immigrants” concentrated in camps… why would they have an issue finding labor?

        Wouldn’t surprise me at all, but even that would be a limited & unreliable resource. It would also require getting inmates to the farms, warehouses, etc. and keeping tabs on them while they work. That would be a logistical nightmare…

          Maybe, but plenty of other tyrannies delighted in holding this kind of thing over their subjugated populations. Being efficient was not necessarily a goal when extracting labor from people in gulags and concentration camps.

      Hope you don’t need carpet installed or cleaned. The flooring industry is 99% foreign ran.
