Deporting Prosperity
LETs NOT KID OURSELVES.. We've done enough of that alerady. As Goethe said: "We resist the truth only because we fear that we would perish if we accepted it." Hence, our tendencies toward denial, confirmation bias, and the lot. To the matter at hand.. Trump will either deport eleven million undocumented, illegally living in America "aliens", or he will not. If so, it will be with the complete support of and compliance of the Republican majority congress, and, of course, his multi million member insurrectionist MAGA mob. If not, it will be with the resistance of the Demoratic minority in congress, and the progressive community. Either way, Trump is toast, and here's why: The sheer logistics of identifying, locating, apprehending, and escorting to the border roughly eleven million people are, in and of themselves, staggering, overwhelming, the expenditure of resources, in terms of humanpower and money, impossible. By the time the process would be completed, eleven million more would have entered the country to repalce them. The undocumented immigrant population will outlive Trump, his supporters, and all the rest of us, mark it down. Trump's failure to deliver on his oft repeated promise, on the very keystone of his political career, to remove the murderers and rapists they are "sending" us, is inevitable. So is the strong disappointment and anger of his cult fan base, when they dimly, belatedly perceive the failure, and are unable to any longer credibly deny it nor avoid blaming Trump for it. Trump's approval rating drops, to the level of his intelligence, if that's possible. If the deportation is actually caried out, even to a partial degree, even if only a small percentage, say, two or three million people, are deported, the econcomy suffers serverely, for lack of workers to fill those jobs no white Christian conservative American wants to fill. If all eleven million of them go, so goes the economy. Crops are left in the ground, to rot. Food prices skyrocket. Houses go without roof replacement. Toilets go unscrubbed. The damage done to the economy, the severity of the resulting recession, will be directly proportional to the number of workers Trump kicks out. MAGA mobsters will suffer the economic consequences as much as decent people, and their ability to blame it on the Democrats,the Chinese, or the left wing communist mainstream media will evaporate. Lies and denial only go so far. The obvious solution, to provide a pathway to citizenship for all undocumented immigrants, and thus to keep the benefits of their labor, namely, national prosperity,in country, is unmentioned by Trump, who seems incapable of grasping it. Position the Big Red One along the order, secure it, and organize it. Those already here we allow, have allowed to be here, by leaving the bank vault unlocked. Why chop off our noses to spite our faces? And let's get one damned thing straight: this is not about illegality, justice, freedom, law, order, crime, the American way, nor anything remotely virtuous. This is about xenophobia and racism, pure and simple. This is about brown skinned people, poisoning American lilly white blood, as Trump put it. This is about dark skinned people arriving from, as Trump put it: "shit hole coutries". The darky Hispanic illegals are better citizens, more law abiding, more moral, than your average white conservative evangelical Christian, by a landslide. Statistics, which don't lie, prove that. Flood the country with good looking pale white Norwegians, just as Trump said he wanted, and you've got a happy camper white right wing Jesus loving community, a community of morally bankrupt, criminal terrorist MAGA Trump supporters, without whom the United States of America would be far better off. Deport them.
