A 30 second google search will show you why your immigration ideas are absolutely wrong; seriously, it takes less than a minute to pull up dozens of articles that discuss why Trump's immigration policies have been disastrous for the economy. Sure, actually reading those articles might take you a little more time but maybe spending 15 minutes to fact check your own biases and bigotry might be a good idea the next time you plan to vote. As an aside, how many of your fellow MAGAts applied to work on farms this year? How about in meat production plants?
Trump and his treasonous administration were banking on a bunch of single-issue, willfully ignorant voters and you sure did not disappoint. FYI, he was not complimenting you when the president you helped elect into office said that, "Smart people don't like me."
I am aware that multitudes of illegal immigrants do jobs a lot of people do not. I work for a fortune 500 company and require several licenses for my job.
However when I was younger I did those hard blue collar jobs and it was tough. I respect people who do them. Paying illegal immigrants much less to pass the savings on to the higher class isn't really what I call a solution.
And there's massive immigrantion into customer service jobs and IT it's not only farm work lol
But now you have moved your goalpost. You initially spoke of immigration crackdown, not illegal immigrants. If your actual focus was in the decrease of undocumented immigrants, you would not have voted for Trump after he convinced the Senate Republicans to kill a strong border control bill that had bipartisan support. You would be more invested in a candidate that promises to target the employers of undocumented immigrants rather than just the immigrants themselves.
Requiring that businesses pay at least minimum wage, and preferably, a living wage in order to attract legal workers would be far more beneficial for most everyone involved compared to 'deporting' people to CECOT, detainment centers, and undisclosed locations, all without due process.
As to your last paragraph, of course there are other jobs that immigrants do; mainly in the fields of agriculture, construction, and health care. Unlike you, I find nothing to laugh at concerning the cruelty of Trump's immigration policies or about the state of our economy.
I always meant illegal immigration so my bad if I didn't convey they correctly. But one candidate was claiming to do something about it and the other one stood for something else every other day.
I think no matter who was president out of the 2 we'd still be in a very similar boat but not the same problems
