The construction and agriculture industries have been telling us that Trump's immigration and deportation policies would be crippling, but nobody listened -- not even in the states which'd be hardest hit. I'm not waiting for the petro industry to raise the alarm too.

That Texas relies on undocumented labor is one of the state's open secrets, despite Republicans' tough-on-immigration stances.

In 2022, more than a half million immigrants worked in the construction industry, according to a report by the American Immigration Council and Texans for Economic Growth. Nearly 60% of that workforce was undocumented.

U.S. farm industry groups want President-elect Donald Trump to spare their sector from his promise of mass deportations, which could upend a food supply chain heavily dependent on immigrants in the United States illegally.

Nearly half of the nation's approximately 2 million farm workers lack legal status, according to the departments of Labor and Agriculture, as well as many dairy and meatpacking workers.

Do NEWSPAPERS! Say that on day one we're going after the farm folk?

OR the rapists and criminals that we're not supposed to worry about when they "rape white women" according to Sheeple?

PS: Maybe George W Bush was right about guest worker program :) Who knows, now you Bushies - in 20 years might become Trumpers.

Did you ever think?

"NEWSPAPERS!"
