Trump's plan is working. Deporting millions of illegals (criminals or not) means US citizens will get higher wages. That is already in progress, as overall wages are up about $1,200/year/person.
Another way to learn that? Read the Wailing and Ululations from restaurant trade-pubs.
...In an opinion piece for Restaurant Business posted on Friday, Jonathan Maze pointed to restaurants in the Minneapolis area being shut down off and on amid ICE operations, and how it affects business:
Fewer workers mean restaurants will once again have to compete for employees the only way they can, by paying higher wages. Wages over the next two years are expected to accelerate, according to Oxford Economics, from 3.7% this year to 5.6% by 2027. That won’t just affect restaurants, either. Because these food-producing industries will lose workers, too. And if they have to start competing more aggressively for workers, then that will lead to higher prices for meat or vegetables....
Not stated in that quote: the number of restaurants is going to shrink as the price of materials and labor increases into a price-sensitive market. We are seeing restaurant closings in MKE already, probably due to the fact that 'boutique' places--by design--do not have large customer bases. The next wave of closings will be related to self-deportations and price increases.
The money? It will be going to American citizens!
