Can we stop blaming Trump for companies hiring undocumented workers so they can pay them less? I hate the guy but he didn’t cause this. We can’t allow companies to bypass laws by not paying benefits and taxes to employees.

The problem didn’t appear overnight and trying to “fix” it overnight is going to cause chaos.
Just one example: there was a bipartisan bill a few months ago that had most of the things republicans asked for. Trump pressured the republicans to not vote for the bill because he wanted to campaign on illegal immigration and do this kind of cruel and stupid shit when he got elected.
Trump doesn’t try to fix things, he just likes showy displays of power and cruelty because he’s a fucking asshole.
Something tells me egg prices aren't going to go down.
Chicken products in general will likely increase in price. I used to live in an area that was predominantly chicken farms and had several Tyson processesing plants. I'd wager at least 60% of the workers both on the farms and in the plants were undocumented.
I can see a situation in which those workers are retained... in a special camp processing chicken.
It goes beyond chicken.
Two other industries that are gonna take a big hit: trucking and oil. Seriously. Both industries have a large (estimated) number of undocumented individuals working within them. It's gonna be hard to "drill baby drill" when you just deported half the drill crews.....
Don't give them more ideas.
Eating affordable food is woke, we can't allow it. Living in affordable housing is woke, we can't allow it. Choices are woke, we can't allow them. Life is woke, we can't allow it.
His real estate deals have always been a shitshow, how can anyone sane expect him to handle a national situation
That's the thing, his being a "businessman" has never really meant anything. When a person starts out with a large pile of money, they can make bad decisions their entire lives and still stay rich, as long as their accountants don't let them spend down the seed money. His mom front-loaded his idiot life and he's been claiming to be successful since.
"a small loan of a million dollars." Nobody that can say that is "self made".
Some people used to put "Biden did this" sticker on everything. In a few… months? weeks? I can see a trend of "you all did this" stickers popping up.
