3. Much of the industry reliant on immigrants, documented and not, are in red states.

Carpet, as mentioned. Building trades throughout the country, but particularly in the Sunbelt. Meat packing in the South and Midwest. Most of the farm work in is red states. In his first term, ICE was very active in red Amurka. I don't see that changing.

in harmony with undocumented? That they will go after blue state economies. And that will be red meat for the red states. And some sort of “example” to the nation that they are “fulfilling their campaign promise”.

Maybe I’m being a bit negative. But I just don’t see them shipping off the undocumented workers in Florida Texas and elsewhere.

And with a compromised media? We won’t know what’s really going on.

Hope I’m wrong.

9. Yes, you are being a bit negative. That's understandable. I get that way from time to time.

TX has far more undocumented folks than NM. It's a much bigger economy, far more jobs for them, and Greg Abbott is all about screwing his own state. Has been for years. During Trump's first term, ICE had little incentive to spend much time in Blue America outside of CA. The bulk of the millions he want's to deport live and work in FL, TX, KS, NC, etc.. Don't ever think they're not above screwing the same people who voted for them. You afford them far more scruples than they have. And really, that's one thing we've got going for us. Rest assured, the morons will fuck things up and hurt themselves in the process. Covid certainly taught us that. Had shit head handled Covid properly, listened to experts and followed their advice, there may not have been a Biden admin.

Remember:::: whatever bad things Donald says about violent "illegals"/undoc immigrants, he would rather import and hire them than pay Americans.

He only quit hiring them when it became politically inconvenient.
