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.
Oh the problem certainly isn’t immigrants, I’m not at all suggesting that. I’m saying that the US has so many issues that mass immigration will never help when you can’t even take care of the people who are already there.

I agree. I’m not for deportation, I’m for immigration. I’m simply saying that in the current state, the US does not need more people.

Wow, you’re very strongly opinionated.
At the end of the day, I don’t really care, I was just expressing a thought. If you think it’s a great idea to continuously bring people into a country that struggles to care for its population currently, go hard. Make a petition, I’ll sign it for you.

Listen, you’re obviously a yank and very concerned about what’s going on in your country. I sympathise and disagree with what is happening. However, for you to insinuate that I need to spend my waking hours worrying about immigration and economic problems of a foreign nation - is downright fucking stupid. I made a comment which reflected my thoughts at the time, we discussed it, you made some good points and I explained my thought in a clearer sense. I don’t care to discuss it further, you can have whatever opinion you want.
Again, good luck to you and good bye.
