    Never forget that George Bush closed the southern border for 48 hours. That’s as long as it lasted. Then big business farms and other companies who desperately rely on immigrant labor got in some people’s ear.

    If Trump does this it would destroy the economy.

      Wouldn’t be his first time absolutely destroying a valuable money making system with his stupid tiny hands. Everything he touches turns to garbage.

      He’s literally already done it once. The Ag sector, especially family farms, still haven’t recovered from his blatant mismanagement & immigration screwups.

      DeSantis apparently didn’t understand that wealthy republicans prefer to have illegal immigrants working for them and the anti-immigrant thing is just pandering and marginalization. When he tried to enforce labor laws in Florida by the book it was similarly unpopular.

      The thing I am most concerned about is a nationwide abortion ban. We have already seen how badly the legislation is crafted on the state level and no country has attempted to do it on national level the same way.

      Miscarriages are common, ectopic pregnancies are common, medication used for abortion has other medical uses. We could legit face a situation where getting pregnant gives you fairly high chance of dying or being incarcerated. What happens next? I know if I was a woman I would definitely get myself sterilized.
