So Trump wants to deport 11 million immigrants? Hmmmm…

After enacting House Bill 87, a law designed to drive illegal immigrants out of Georgia, state officials appear shocked to discover that HB 87 is, well, driving a lot of illegal immigrants out of Georgia…

Thanks to the resulting labor shortage, Georgia farmers have been forced to leave millions of dollars’ worth of blueberries, onions, melons and other crops unharvested and rotting in the fields. It has also put state officials into something of a panic at the damage they’ve done to Georgia’s largest industry….

The results of that investigation have now been released. According to survey of 230 Georgia farmers conducted by Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black, farmers expect to need more than 11,000 workers at some point over the rest of the season, a number that probably underestimates the real need, since not every farmer in the state responded to the survey.The Atlantic

Alabama Official Suggests Using Prisoners As Farm Workers After Immigration Law Scares Away Laborers - Think Progress

(Note: many prisoners refused to do the work after trying it for a short while and the ones who did work were MUCH less efficient than the immigrant workers)

So he’ll spend massive amounts of money to deport workers, drive up food prices and potentially bankrupt a huge number of farmers.

This will really help the economy. Sounds like a plan.
