No d’uh. It’s interesting because it’s a more scholarly take, coming from a (notoriously right-wing) “libertarian” think tank.
When you combine the likely cost of mass deportation with the lost fiscal benefits from recent illegal immigrants, reversing the “Biden Border Crisis” will end up imposing almost $6 trillion in costs on U.S. taxpayers.
I looked through your post history after I wrote that, because I wasn’t sure where you were coming from with the initial comment.
But yeah, this is another we’re going to build a wall and Mexico will pay for it situation. Only this time it will be concentration camps which means it might actually happen.
Did you see the post about private prison stock prices on the rise? When it’s about money, it will definitely happen. The wall wasn’t a money-maker. Using this as a way to replace cheap Chinese labor dependency will make billions.
Sorry for the double reply in your inbox, but another one that’s got me is the mental health work camps.
I think both of those contributed to the prison stocks.
Perhaps once they get out they will be labeled as disabled and will be paid less.
Guess I shouldn’t be surprised about private prisons having stock, but I am. Private prisons were bad enough, but stock? How in the hell could you even try to make more money while having a straight face? They literally have no incentive to keep people out of those prisons or to have good conditions.
Yeah I didn’t realize it either. Seems like a business that should be a non-profit.
Yeah I saw that right after the election. And have been trying to enlighten some friends about it who are minimizing what’s about to happen.
Yeah a lot of people are like, “it won’t happen.” And I sure hope they’re right. Fortunately for me, I live in a state where this won’t be so quick to happen… so I’ll have enough warning to get out.
Stay safe!
