The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

A sane conservative (and I agree with Al that they do exist) might think that they are better off with fewer people who speak with an accent, who have different customs, who have different religions.

Congressman Randy Fine is making an economic argument, rather than an argument based in racial and religious bigotry.

GOP Rep Randy Fine declares that deporting all illegal immigrants is the top way to make the US affordable

Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., asserted in a post on X that deporting all illegal immigrants would be the best way to make the U.S. affordable.

"Deportations lower housing and rent prices because there are millions fewer who need them. Health care costs fall because uninsured illegals aren’t filling emergency rooms. Education costs fall because uninsured minors aren’t costing $10k-$20k per year. Car insurance costs fall because uninsured illegals aren’t driving up 'uninsured and underinsured' insurance," Fine asserted.

In a basic, supply/demand balance sense, what he says seems to make sense. But, deport all the illegals, and a big part of the labor pool also vanishes, so the price of anything with a labor components to it, will be pushed up as "JCs" compete for labor by offering higher wages, or close the business and do something else with their money.
