Summary

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warned that Trump’s mass deportation policy could lead to labor shortages and higher grocery prices.

Experts say agriculture, construction, and healthcare will be hardest hit, with farm output losses estimated between $30 and $60 billion.

Deportations could cost the U.S. economy up to $88 billion annually.

AOC argued that immigrant labor is vital to economic stability, urging Congress to pursue immigration reform.

    It’s clear you only have a surface level understanding of the issue so you should either read up or be quiet on the topic. Your ignorance isn’t of any value.

      Well there’s a lot of information and different positions, most of which doesn’t fit into a single post. Can you explain what specifically you think I’ve missed?

        No. It’s not my job to teach you. Don’t speak unless you know what you’re talking about. It’s clear you’re not confident you did either.

          Not asking for instruction on the issue, only clarification on your assertion that I don’t understand.

          For example, if you argued that video games cause violence, I could say ‘you obviously don’t understand the issue, specifically, the sort of attitude players take toward the game. Nobody plays like ‘yeah I wish I could do this IRL’, rather, it’s just a game and there’s friendly banter between both teams.’ I don’t have to write a page on video game culture or statistics to do that.

          Saying ‘you don’t get it’ on a huge broad subject while offering zero detail on what specifically I don’t get or even a counterpoint is lazy debating. If you think I’m wrong, explain why I’m wrong. Otherwise you are just a low effort shitpost that contributes nothing to the discourse. Do better.

            I’m not debating you. There’s no value in it. You’re ignorant and there is no value is trying to talk with you or change your mind.

            “Do better”
