This is a really dehumanizing way to talk about migrants.

How’s that dehumanizing? I think it’s reality, but I don’t think it’s going to happen.

How is it dehumanizing to reduce people to the value of the work they provide for you as low income servants?

I think that says more about how you view them. The facts are we, because I am Latina, do make up the bulk of the domestic household work. Construction crew, cleaning and childcare is made up of Latinos. I can’t speak about everybody’s immigration status, but we are the ones doing a lot of this type of work. “We” are not servants but like I said, I think it says a lot more about how you view us as we are not dehumanized by honest hard work.

To the extent there is a large population, I'd have to guess we'd be seeing up close and personal what Trump's deportation plan is going to look like.

So - what's it going to look like? What are the pros, cons, first order, second order effects.

I feel like this could be one of the most significant policy implementations in modern history.

You mean this guy you elected who hired "Mexican" workers to build his ugly gold buildings? And apparently didnt pay them or paid less?

They keep raising taxes in MoCo due to overcrowding. The huge amounts of illegal immigration to the area place tremendous strain on public services, the costs of which are shouldered by citizen taxpayers. Ebony h is enough. Deport them all. Charity and generosity are not unlimited. We are going to break the backs of our citizens who obey the law to pay a whole bunch of benefits going to foreign nationals. Ridiculous.

This. I am surprised people are still dreaming of using illegals for cheap labor after losing the elections. We can have legal immigrants for the labor shortage, the right and legal way.

It's not going to happen.

Do you think MD will cooperate with ICE?

They won’t. Erlich said so in a press release. Mink also tweeted that they won’t cooperate.

Obama did a pretty good job.

I knew the family of the girl who was on the news when Mrs. Obama visited her school and she told her “your husband deported my dad.”

Agreed. There will some show force at the beginning and then it will fall apart just like everything else he’s ever tried. This was a sales pitch to get her votes of a certain sector of rubes and morons, just like everything he’s ever planned to do.

Now he’ll also have to contend with Putin’s liaison, Musk, trying to micromanage him. It’s going to be damaging to the country, but hilariously dysfunctional to watch.

This is it, exactly.

I doubt moco will return to prosperity but the cost savings to school will be immense. We spend a lot of money on both esol and also catching kids up who are behind.

Honestly- good. We’ve always cleaned our own home and mowed our grass. I think too many people don’t and don’t show their kids how to either. It’s raising lazy kids who don’t know how to work.

I disagree that Americans don’t want those jobs. Dh comes from a rural town that had a big manufacturing plant that was shipped to Mexico. They were good jobs and most people working there liked it. I think unions were a bit crazy and drove the plant out of town, not just the wage difference between Mexicans and Americans.

In his town bachelors degrees aren’t common. Those who have them are nurses, teachers or accountants. So there aren’t too many jobs open to people without degrees, but are still willing to be trained.

So you hire illegals? Do you also post "they should go after the employers?"
