Alabama tried this in the early 2010’s and the results were great for the state. Fields were left with crops rotting because they weren’t harvested, home building slowed, meat processing slowed, people stopped cooperating with police, they arrested a Mercedes Benz exec and a Japanese Toyota employee for not having a driver’s license which I’m sure encouraged those manufacturers to expand factories in the state. Business leaders, churches, and so many others hated it.
Did they learn? Apparently fucking not. Buckle up because they’re taking it nationwide and the ride is gonna be awful. I’ve already bought 200lbs of rice and beans and a bunch of shelf stable items because I fully expect food costs to skyrocket. I advise everyone do the same because undocumented people do so much that can’t easily be seen.
Alabama immigration: crops rot as workers vanish to avoid crackdown
Even though I live in the US, it is kinda nice to see this country finally get its comeuppance for a century of ruining the homes of my brethren. 'Oh, your democratically elected government or leader is to the left of Ronald [the Fucker] Reagan? You get a coup. You get an assassination. All of you get a fascist murderous right wing military dictatorship that will kill, torture, SA, and steal the children of tens of thousands of people, set back the economy and lower the standard of living for generations. We will feel just a fraction of the pain caused by our government and the people who supported, and still support, its policies.
