How Mass Deportations Would ‘Devastate’ Texas

The Lone Star State is home to millions of undocumented residents and members of mixed-status families critical to the state’s economic success, yet Texas leaders are cheering on Trump anyway.

www.texasobserver.org

Texas is home to some 1.6 million undocumented immigrants—second in the United States only to California—and another roughly 1.4 million U.S. citizens in the state live with at least one undocumented family member, per studies in recent years. Unauthorized workers form the backbone of crucial sectors; in the construction industry, up to 50 percent of laborers building the state are undocumented, according to a 2013 survey by the advocacy organization Workers Defense Project. All this means Texas would be uniquely disrupted by Trump’s plans, with the tearing apart of mixed-status families placing a possibly massive burden on the state’s meager social services systems, and the exiling of a chunk of its workforce imperiling the economic development and affordability known as the so-called Texas Miracle.

Yet Texas’ statewide Republican leaders are full-throated backers of a Trump return to the White House, leaving dissenters within the immigrant and business community and Democratic Party to advocate for millions of Texas families, workers, and consumers.

Well, It's going to happen, so they need to prepare for it.

You probably need to exercise to mow.

How often do you need a new roof?

Are you racist? insinuating that brown people only mow and shingle?

No, that’s just what they do for me. I’m racist and don’t think white people take enough pride in such work.

So, you're only against inflationary policies when a Democrat is president. Good to know.

 

[seminole97]

So, you're only against inflationary policies when a Democrat is president. Good to know.

If you spend more money on an item, you don't have more money to spend on other items, so a price increase cannot inflate the money supply.

Increasing the money supply does cause a general price increase, because prices are relative, and increasing the supply of dollars moves the demand curve.

What does the GOP run on next time? Always has to be an 'other' to scare everyone about.

Who you got?

[prlyles]

For the third time in a row, I left the top slot blank. I will say that this was the first time I did remotely consider voting for Trump, but not very seriously.

There are too many people here that say they didn't vote for either one. That's bullshit

No matter how much it costs?

Don't forget that TRUMP and MAGA will be continually eating their own. There will be loyalty tests galore and MAGAs will be constantly stabbing one another with accusations of being insufficiently loyal to Orange Jesus

Next enemy? No need! Trump already has his "enemies from within" list - Pelosi, Schiff, Mark Milley, John Kelly, and Liz Cheney. These are the people that Trump said are a greater threat than foreign enemies. So much so that he would deploy the military to contain them if necessary.

 

[pjhawk]

Which is ironic because Trump is a coastal elite with a higher education.

Trump's one of the "good ones".

 

[Flie]

Yes treating people ‘fairly’ by making girls race boys.
Please run on this next election too. In Jesus name, amen.

Has someone run on that previously?

The MAGA Movement just brought on Millions and Millions of new members this election. The MAGA Movement defeated the Democratic Party in a LANDSLIDE OF EPIC PROPORTIONS.

MAGA became the party of America on November 5th.

IMO, that whole issue was a classic misnomer.

Having taken a few marketing classes in school, the idea of introducing a new "product" has to be handled with care and not just quickly pushed out the door without giving the promotion some careful studying and thought. This Defund the Police was given the wrong branding, and as I will note below, some slanted promotional support.

I think the whole idea centered around the idea that a hammer is not best the solution to all the problems that police departments typically have to deal with. Police departments should have more diversification in their forces where even, dare I say it, "social workers" would be more appropriate to deal with certain kinds of problems. Negotiating with someone who is going through a mental crisis can be a problem for sure, especially when someone is armed. But if they can be talked off the ledge without anyone being harmed, that would be the best solution for all.

Of course, I can appreciate a patrolman's position as well when he has been called to this kind of situation and is the first responder. With all of the guns we have on the streets these days, it's just human behavior to think, if it's him or me, I know who I am choosing, and not all first responders may have this kind of training.

As far as national Democrats supporting the Defund the Police idea (as in all defunding), I doubt very few, or any for that matter, would actually fall into that category. It was the RW media who ran with that kind of thinking and it stuck.

Another part of this problem that doesn't get mentioned enough are just plain bad cops who get recycled through multiple police departments without proper vetting, as we saw in Springfield, Illinois this summer.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/22/us/sonya-massey-police-shooting/index.html

Yep, I understand that. And I am for constantly evaluating best practices toward law enforcement.

My point is not that most Democrat officials wanted to defund the police (although many said they did or at least nodded support) and I KNOW that most Democrat voters didn't want to. But it took like a year for national Democrats to actually repudiate it, because they were afraid to offend or step on the toes of of one of their more radical constituencies. Just like it took like two-three years to stop saying Latin X.

They have had a very, very hard time standing up to the progressive activist groups in their party, no matter how unhinged or irresponsible, whether that be BLM (the organization, NOT the sentiment) or the progressive Latino advocacy groups. Honestly, why on earth would Democrats spend one more second listening to the progressive radical Latino groups at this point? They've absolutely hemorrhaged the latino vote. They should be blocking every one of those Latino activists that have had their ear.

 

[Rifler]

No matter how much it costs?

You'll pay for it one way or the other,.. Personally, I'd rather do it via a working wage rather than a welfare handout.

I don't know, this board isn't remotely representative of the world, I don't know why that's so unbelievable. Harris would have won in a landslide if it was.

Yep. Burn it down. Oh and for the Muslims who sat it out as protest over Gaza, good luck with that too. Gaza Strip is not going back ever.

My guess on next new enemy, and this is not to be funny, Department of Education. They definitely want to keep dumbing down the masses and do everything they can to change the school system to make it much more open for Christian religion and less protective of everyone’s rights.

They going to go after it big time and will mess with Title I and Title IX and do everything they can to break our education system into small charter schools with Jesus more than welcome in the daily teachings.

Also will try to do the same to FDA and EPA. Normally, I would say such things are ludicrous and no way they could get this done but after last week, not so sure they can’t dismantle those agencies. To which I say, let it burn.

Department of Education makes makes an appearance on the Republican chopping block wish list every couple of cycles. Not a bad candidate. At all.

The timing has never been better probably, with the backlash against teachers unions over Covid, the progressive moves to remove tracking and advanced classes, homeschooling fights, the fight over gender ideology in schools.

People forget that the Department of Education didn't exist until 1980, it's not like it's some fundamental requirement of a country's education system. I think this is a pretty good guess.

I think they will squash any practice of Islam. They will pull a false flag of some kind to get everyone all riled up over that again.

The MAGA moron Islamists in Michigan and other swing states are about to get a heavy dose of “Eff around and find out”. These suckers got so played. Now they’re going to watch their brothers overseas get wiped out. Nice work, dumbfuqs. Per the release on Elise Stefanik becoming UN ambassador:

While Stefanik has stated that "Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine because Russia feared no reprisal from Joe Biden," she voted against $61 billion in aid for Ukraine in April. The following month, in a speech to a caucus of Israel's parliament, she called for providing "the state of Israel with what it needs, when it needs it, without conditions to achieve total victory in the face of evil." She has also called for defunding the UN's aid agency for Palestinian refugees, whose staff members may have been involved in the Oct. 7 attacks, according to a UN probe.
