Media Fail to Inform About Disastrous Economic Effects of Mass Deportations (fair.org)

“GDP Could Take Massive Hit as a Result of Mass Deportations.” “Mass Deportations Could Leave Many Americans Without Jobs.” “Mass Deportations Could Spur Spike in Inflation.” “Mass Deportations Could Cost Nearly $1 Trillion.”

These are hypothetical headlines of the sort you run if you want to drive home the point that mass deportations would not only be a humanitarian outrage, but an economic disaster. Which, according to economists, they very much would be.

Who else would pick fruits and vegetables for less than minimum wage? Inflation is the first outcome of this racist policy.
