Are you going to blame Trump for a recession that happens under him or do you think Trump is still doing the right thing by mass deportation of several millions of people?

Yeah, this is a poorly conceived plan.
Racist white people will be glad to feel their country is being “re-whitened”, but fail to see the big picture. These people do menial labor that industries like agriculture depend on, because paying fair wages would either ruin them or make produce exponentially more expensive.
Additionally, we hear about about the income tax revenue we don’t get from them, but every time they spend money —even if it’s the “free” money conservatives love to scream that they’re getting— where do you think that money goes? It goes to American businesses, and the sales taxes go in the same coffers that the rest ours do.
These folks are business stimulants, and removing them all en masse will have very bad economic consequences, all because some idiot doesn’t want to hear Spanish spoken around him. They’ll tell you it has to do with “legal immigration processes” being sidestepped, but just watch…. they’re gonna go after everyone brown who they can make an excuse for. They want to end birthright citizenship…is that going forward? Or is it retroactive, and we’ll be deporting people who only know life in America?
I hope this is just another one of those idiotic Trump things where he says a bunch of shit he can’t/won't deliver on, like Mexico paying for a border wall last time, or this time, telling us just days after the election that all those grocery prices he SWORE he would bring down IMMEDIATELY, well, now, the story is “you know, it’s tough to bring prices down once they’re up.”
What? What happened to that unbridled confidence from just a while back? Nothing changed between then and now🤔 You know, it’s ALMOST as if Trump HAD NO PLAN, and just said whatever he thought sounded good to get elected, and now he’s simultaneously off the hook for his crimes, and also can hook up himself and his billionaire buddies with tax breaks and getting rid of necessary regulations that keep them honest.
Oh, but don’t worry…. they’re gonna make YOU rich too. They SWEAR. So, go ahead and hold your breath, it’s definitely coming….
Holy SMOKES, are we stupid in this country….🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
No, man. You can't be in a foreign country without proper documentation and cry racism.
I like you but it doesn't work like that.
I’m more saying that it’s not mutually exclusive, caring about documentation and racism. Like you can be right about people not being documented and still be coming at it with racist energy.
I’m with exclusively white groups all the time, in a liberal area, and I still hear racist shit ROUTINELY. SO MUCH FUCKING RACISM, among other -isms and -phobias as well. Like, reporting live from inside White People Headquarters …we’re still predominantly racist people.
I even feel like lately some American-born Latinos feel like they’re getting ingratiated with White people…. I'm sorry to say that the White people do not feel that way, at all. They see a “Z” on the end of your name…. you're out. Between online and real life, I’m not even looking for racism, but all I need to do is be white around other white people and they just let it rip, again, ROUTINELY. It’s not always egregious, like hard racial slurs, but a lot of ignorant comments and assumptions.
And of course white people aren’t the only ones capable of prejudice, but we’re the ones with a special power to make much more of a societal impact with ours. Someone else only has the power to hurt my feelings; I have the power to impact somebody’s life.
So the whole border issue is fair play to talk about, but the energy behind it, at least from white people….. I can tell when my fellow White people are dog whistling and trying to be lowkey racist, and this is just that. They know what they can and can’t say. If these were White Canadians, the energy would be COMPLETELY different, not that it’d be a non-issue, but they wouldn’t be telling us they’re coming to rape our wives and kidnap our kids. Most MAGA supporters are low-IQ muppets, they can’t intellectually grasp any of this, and don’t want to, they just want a cue to start going into racist fits and be told that it’s ok and they’re right to do it.
Like, basically…. there’s totally a non-ignorant way to go about border security, and Republicans just simply don’t want to take that route, because the racism is a feature, not a bug.
I’m not sure about the logic of how deporting illegal immigrants would be “bad the economy” when many them are unemployed and taking advantage of tax payer funded services.
And let me make it very clear I am 100% okay with immigrants who come here legally, obey our laws, respect our culture, pay taxes and work legitimate occupations.
But in reality the lifetime fiscal drain (taxes paid minus costs) for each illegal immigrant is about $68,000 (see reference below)
But what is the f*cking point of having a sovereign nation when we had wide open borders? The real reason democrats did this they want to expand their future voting base (which is disgusting bullsh*t). And if you did the right thing and immigrated here legally then you should be pissed.

Recessions doesn't happen because there aren't enough people to pick veggies for a slave wage. Mass deportation of illegals in US would have some negative economical impact but this would be temporary and limited to specific branches in US. Recession happens if there are too many people who earn slave wages and can't afford expensive goods their economy produces nor other economies are willing to import those goods.
I think the disruption to the American work force caused by mass deportations will play a minor role. More likely economic disruption that will push the USA and the rest of the world into recession is Trumps Tariff policies. Trade wars are good for no one. I will blame Trump for this economic suicide.

A recession in 2025 is not foreseen by most economic experts.
Liberals claim a recession will happen because undocumented immigrants who work in agriculture and constructions will all be deported. But that's not gonna happen. Undocumented immigrants, illegals, who commit crimes wil be deported. Others probably won't be, at least not at first. Plus, many of the workers in agriculture and construction have legitimate visas and green cards. If they didn't, their employers would face serious fines and jail time.
So, you disagree with Trump?
"Trump said in an interview with NBC News on Sunday that he aims to deport all immigrants in the U. S. illegally during his four-year term..."
www.reuters.com/.../
It's not a "liberal claim" that "that would affect millions of families and damage businesses reliant on those workers, including agriculture.", it's just a fact.
Taking businesses to court for employing illegal immigrants would be a reasonable approach to reducing illegal immigration. That's not an approach I've seen Republicans suggest. If you have, where?
In case you have not noticed there has been a recession going on for the last three years, prices for commodities have rocketed across the board, food fuels etc, Inflation has climbed rapidly, GDP has plummeted, the only ones making money hand over fist are the likes of Blackrock and the other Big Money people. Mass deportation will have little influence on the recession we are now in, with the exception that employers will have to keep wages at level with inflation, if they don't they'll loose employees to employers who will.
Recession is simply when the GDP goes down rather than up. That is going to happen sooner or latter usualy as part of a correction.
If we manage deport a large number of people I would expect that to be the case after all there are fewer workers doing work.
But that doesn't necessarily mean its a bad thing for the people as more of the money that does exist will have to be spent on the existing workers.
For decades business interest have been pushing for high immigration and disatvantagous trade policies precisely so that they could pay less for labor and make themself richer. The other countries after all didn't have the money to actually buy the goods & services.
How do you increase GDP if the population is declining (by deportation), spending is reduced? Does tariffs raise GDP because the prices increase... e. g. inflation?
It's some kind of a balancing act I can't sort out in my head.
Some figured we were already in recession, but govt can distort figures for quite some time.
See if in 4 years the annual budget and debt is better ir worse. Thats the project.
If don carries through mass deportation and domestic food is 3x or 4x the price and we average folk can only eat rice and beans. It would probably dodge a recession.
The rich will have the money for good food 10x the cost. We could stop the government farm subsidizing and force the rich to spend money domesticly like this but no one else could afford good food. Rice and beans I'd suck but let us eat while we still have homes.
Even if you believe that all illegals will be deported (given that we don’t know who and how many if them they are that‘s unrealistic), only 60% of US adults are working, do there’s plenty of labor market slack, and the huge costs associated with the illegals, who send a lot of money outside of the US, will also be gone.
We had a recession a couple of years ago. The democrats changed the definition of recession so all of a sudden it wasn't a recession.
If the millions that will be removed from the workforce are government workers it will help restore confidence that the Trump administration is doing something about the national debt/
Hopefully President Trump's trade policies will bring back jobs to America and lessen unemployment.
cutting taxes should help too.
COVID-19 recession: February 2020 – April 2020
The economic effects of the pandemic were severe after the first quarter of 2020. More than 24 million people lost jobs in the United States in just three weeks in April. The economic impact of the virus is still being determined, but the recession was the shortest on record.
(Who was president in 2020?)
Anyone telling you that "democrats changed the definition of recession" is lying, or like you, misinformed by liars.
Here's the definition archived in November 2020, before Trump lost. It didn't change since:
"The NBER's definition emphasizes that a recession involves a significant decline in economic activity that is spread across the economy and lasts more than a few months."
web.archive.org/.../business-cycle-dating
"The two quarters of declining GDP definition is a rule of thumb that does not officially define a recession."
www.dallasfed.org/research/economics/2022/0802
No, that would be Bush's. Trump's COVID-19 recession was the shortest on record, while Bush's Great Recession of 2007-2009 was the deepest since the downturn in 1937-1938.
See, the left doesn't have to make things up, the truth is usually bad enough for Republican presidents.
Trump's being handed an economy that's doing well and rapidly improving, once again.
Oh, my! Guess who just wrote an executive order (I swear to God I didn't know about this yesterday)!
www.whitehouse.gov/.../
Bear in mind that these things are nothing more than a number on a computer, they're absolutely worthless. Trump wants to create a "reserve" of them, costing the taxpayer huge amounts of money.
I'd say deportation would help the economy more.. Maybe the immigrants actually working and contributing to the economy would get a loophole pardon or something.. But not all the criminals and people living off the government. Plus, I don't think that causes recessions..
Inflation is blurring the reality of the economy because the GDP usually rises even if the economy has slowed down. Technically, a recession is two consecutive quarters of negative GDP. Also, since government spending is part of the GDP equation, there is a very low chance that number will decline given the amount of defense spending in both Ukraine and Israel, among other countries. If there are mass deportations and housing prices come down from their highs by a modest amount (10-15%), that could trigger a decline in the GDP for 1-2 quarters, which could cause a recession even without an increase in the unemployment rate.
I truly believe that extra expenses going towards this plan is kind of unnecessary when there’s other issues but eggs are like five dollars now which is wild even the discount store went up We invest in unity understanding how others maintain Countries And cultivating relationships
The "experts" are wrong, as they usually are.
Trump will energize the economy and delay the cultural and economic collapse of the West. It may come before 2100 and will be followed by Dark Ages and later Feudalism.
Without massive changes, we are becoming Rome-2. We will probably split in half, not by totally region, but by ideology also Elite coasts and flyover country. May we live in interesting times.
Yes, I agree that having such a labor force leave the country will lead to its recession. The people who don’t think this will happen, know nothing of economics.
If they are in the work force they are most likely working under the table so there will be no real impact with them gone as they were not paying taxes.
The impact will be felt they won't be shopping, spending money eating out etc that keeps the economy strong.
That is like a stupidest idea ever. How he gonna deport 13 million people? That is gonna cost over 100 billion dollars. Then how you gonna fill those jobs that immigrants did? Ordinary americans are not gonna do it - in order them to do it they need to raise those jobs wages, which gonna raise prices for customers - > YOU.
The new oligarchy cabinet will bring a lot of things, but I doubt they will be to the advantage of the average American citizens...
You've been living through a failing economy for many years. If someone honestly reports what has been happening, the only thing Trump will be responsible for is in telling the truth.
He's not going after illegal immigrants who are peacefully working jobs in the U. S., he expressly said and wrote in his executive orders that he's only deporting illegal immigrants who have committed violent criminal felonies in their home countries or in the U. S. Why would you want those people in your country? In your state? In your city? In your neighborhood? In your home?
Misquoting the president's statements or intent only makes your argument weak.
No. Cheap labor is bad for the economy as it drives down wages meaning less tax for the government and people having less to spend.
I do think Trump will send venezuelan people out. I am one of Jehovah witness I got punch by a venezuelan people telling me the Catholic Church is truth and mock my beliefs and they destroy my books.
Lol where have e these experts been. We've been in a recession for about 1.5 years now.
Bang!
A magic man comes along and hexes away all undesired details.
Good luck :D
He can't pay for a mass deportation. lol
He'll get as far as his single panel wall the first time around. He's an actor people.
what price do you think is too high to put on national security?
Not sure what you mean? If anything a recession will actually bring down prices from the last 3 years of inflation.
Nope. Millions will not be deported in the next 4 years.
Several hundreds of thousands will be deported within months.
The economy will take a hit.
The us economy is huge and across all 50 states. While some counties will have an economic impact the country as a whole will be impacted more by energy legislation and likely will after a year be better than it is today.
Maybe to the plus side because $Billions won't be spent feeding, housing, and giving them other handouts will not be necessary?
@Danilea: I agree but you can't compare the two.
She’s right
Buy clothes? They get their clothes by retail theft. Not all of course, but a great number do. You see them at the swap meets selling brand new tools and stuff for peanuts. The dumb ass police do nothing.
It will be trumps fault. it started when he was in office and he refused to close the borders when covid first started. Trickle down effect.
There will be no recession. We already had it and the media covered it up.
Mass deportation would lead to a recession by 2026.
He removes workers, then a recession happens, that's on him.
I've been waiting for a recession 📉📉📉📉
The recession started in 2008 and never recovered
