Yeah, there was never even any dent in their workforce in our rural parts of Ohio. All of the ICE work has been performative and only in blue areas. so, some some mexican restaurants and stores have been raided, but no farms that I have heard of.
Might have been performative in part but net migration was negative for the first time in 50 years which will have a long term negative impact on our economy in many ways given the demographic bubble we are in as well as general brain drain tend we are seeing.
well, yeah, because all of those fine folks pay taxes and don't receive any of the benefits. literally free money.
