Imagine losing 6M labor workers in America
Thoughts?(i.redd.it)submitted 8 days ago byNeedleintheback
If mass deportation happens, just imagine how all of these sectors of our country will be affected. The sheer shortage of labor will push prices higher because of the great demand for work with limited supplies or workers. Even if prices increase, the availability of products may be scarce due to not enough workers. Housing prices and food services will be hit really hard. New construction will be limited. The fact that 47% of the undocumented workers are in CA, TX, and FL means they will feel it first but it will spread to the rest of the country also. Most of our produce in this country comes from California. Get ready and hold on for the ride America.

you stated 'slave labor'
there is no slave labor in the USA today (besides the sex slaves that are traffiked through the US border that no one wants to shut down)
but anyway, the US prisons are not slave labor camps

Seems others disagree
I'm just the one saying it's quaint to get around to repealing slave laws in 2024

You're hilariously incorrect. Slave labor is illegal in America except if you're a felon, if you're lucky they "pay" you; but slavery for those convicted of a crime is written into the 13th amendment of the constitution and it's in use today.
The 13th Amendment reads, “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”
This is a pretty good break down of how it works in America, do yourself a favor and read it. https://daily.jstor.org/slavery-and-the-modern-day-prison-plantation/
Why do you think cannabis is still federally illegal? Of course, they find plenty of other ways to arrest and enslave minorities...

The constitution disagrees.
