You think the price of food and construction is expensive now?
Also, does anyone really like the idea of National Guard coming into your town and rounding up the undocumented. Let's be honest, they're just going to check papers of those who look like they could be undocumented. So if you "look" like an immigrant, what documentation should you carry to make sure that you are not held until court hearing?
Steven Miller hasn't discussed what going to happen with the children of the undocumented but pretty sure it will be disgusting.
Really, the ripple effect is pretty staggering as well. Example, we had a long-time resident stopped in a road block last year on his way back from the airport. He was driving without a license, arrested, and then deported as he was undocumented. He was a well-paid manager at a commercial nursery. His wife who has her green card and five children who are American citizens remained and receive public assistance.
This immigration plan is going to create a whole bunch of single parents and kids in single parent households. The Republican plan is also to do away with SNAP and reserve housing assistance for married couples.
What do you think of the plan to deport those pesky immigrant college students who are protesting the war in Gaza? This from the party of "free speech".
I believe many Republican governors are already working the Trump agenda into state agencies and legislatures.
Yes, I heard. And DeSantis is leading the charge with laws that would prevent Syrians from buying real estate in Florida. SMH.
