Will “mass deportation” actually happen (2 Viewers)

It’s so repulsive to see people cheering for what is basically 80% the same thing as the Holocaust - different end result but otherwise very similar.

Economists have said it would tank the economy and cause inflation - notwithstanding the cost.

Is it going to actually happen or is this Build The Wall 2.0?

Yes. Lots of baseless, worthless opinions work that way. I can't comprehend the level of narcissism necessary to so confidently foist those opinions on others with he belief that they carry any weight at all, much less the same weight as thoughtful, well-reasoned opinions.

Now, that said, do you have any data to support your opinions regarding the border?

He doesn't, which is why he refused to answer Chuck's post. He's little more than a shill.

Who is foisting anything on you? It’s an anonymous discussion board. Who is foisting? Is that what we are doing? I thought we were discussing. Exchanging ideas and opinions. Believe what you chose. Make up your own mind. I will do the same. If you feel you are being “foisted upon” you should deal with that.

You. You think it's an exchange of ideas and opinions as though they are all created equally. You've been given ample opportunity to support your opinions or to respond to others who have supported theirs, but so far you have avoided all such opportunities. Why is that? Do you believe that an opinion with zero evidence to support it carries the same weight as a position that is well-supported with facts and data?

How much weight you give someone’s opinion and how you arrive at that number is entirely up to you.

The internet is full of facts and data. Just because you post something doesn’t mean is complete and accurate in all respects. Further multiple people can view the same facts and reach different conclusions. We all have differing perspectives.

I have no doubt you can produce articles, numbers and data that support your point of view. I haven’t asked you to furnish data. Similarly, I’m not testifying under oath nor am I writing a research paper for peer review. I’m simply giving you an opinion. Accept it if you like. Reject it if you like. It’s up to you. Whatever you choose is perfectly fine with me.

Still nothing. If you choose to go through life believing utter bullshirt and lies, that's on you. I just think it's pathetic that someone would be so lazy that they would rather believe demonstrable lies than show a modicum of interest in the truth.

I appreciate your concern but you should ask yourself the same question.

I appreciate your concern but you should ask yourself the same question.

It’s not mentally healthy to think there are no facts - to deny reality. It’s just not.

This idea that nobody knows anything and you can believe whatever you want to believe and it has the same value as the actual truth will be the downfall of this country.

I am just gobsmacked that we got to this place during a few decades.

 

[cuddlemonkey]

I appreciate your concern but you should ask yourself the same question.

I have a rule in my life where I believe things that are true and disbelieve things that are false. Anything I believe and any opinion I hold can be supported with facts. In the course of a discussion like this, I am more than happy to provide evidence that supports my position. When given multiple chances, you failed to do so. That's what is so sad about you, that you decided at some point that intellectual laziness and dishonesty would be the path you chose.

Leaders in the construction business, including Republicans, are worried that Donald Trump’s plans to carry out a mass deportation of undocumented immigrants will crater their industry, given its reliance on migrant workers.

“We will absolutely have a labor shortage,” developer George Fuller, mayor of McKinney Texas, a Dallas suburb that’s undergone a construction boom in recent years, toldThe Wall Street Journal. “Whether you want to acknowledge it or not, these industries depend on immigrant labor.”

Builders are praying they don’t get hit with the kind of dramatic workplace raids the Trump administration has talked about reinstating, Stan Marek, CEO of a Houston interior contracting company, added in an interview with the paper. These businesses are “putting their heads down and hoping like hell it doesn’t happen,” he said.

Studies suggest roughly one-third of U.S. construction workers are foreign-born, and that undocumented workers make up some 13 percent of the overall construction business.

That share of workers is likely even higher in states like Texas, a border state that both has an in-demand construction industry and a worker shortage in building trades. The state has the highest level of unauthorized workers in construction in the country, according to the Migration Policy Institute.……
