Summary

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warned that Trump’s mass deportation policy could lead to labor shortages and higher grocery prices.

Experts say agriculture, construction, and healthcare will be hardest hit, with farm output losses estimated between $30 and $60 billion.

Deportations could cost the U.S. economy up to $88 billion annually.

AOC argued that immigrant labor is vital to economic stability, urging Congress to pursue immigration reform.

    Saying they’re good at messaging and then saying people don’t paying attention enough to see it is an oxymoron. If they were good at messaging you wouldn’t have to pay attention to see it.

      I disagree. They’re not responsible for the lack of media coverage. If all you watch is legacy media, you’re not going to see democratic messaging.

        If there are voters that are only watching legacy media then any approach that doesn’t include legacy media is nothing short of negligent.
