    Implosion of oligarchs?

    You are sadly mistaken that the fallout will harm the wealthy. They aren’t going to throw up their hands in despair, they’ll just further attack worker and consumer protections, salaries, benefits, retirement funds and all the rest. I don’t know what planet you live on where the oligarchy just go ahead and hand out money to the masses because their exploited labor force got deported. They just find new bodies and exploit even harder when they’ve already made it a mission to crush the middle class.

      Yeah, its not credible to claim that large, profitable enterprises will “implode” if the supply and demand curve shifts slightly.

      At the most cynical level, businesses that depend on cheap labor from undocumented immigrants will get squeezed as their labor costs increase.

      America’s Military Industrial Complex isn’t going to fail if market forces require they offer more money to secure a sufficient supply of labor.
