We'll see how it goes. Last I heard, most economists agree that if we were able to kick out every illegal alien today, our economy would collapse. Maybe the thinking on that has changed, though.Martin Hash wrote: ↑Fri Nov 16, 2018 7:49 am
Trump's wrong on taxes, but he understands economics well enough to know that deficits don't matter, and he's as supportive of the aristocracy as any rich man; but his Nationalism will help primarily the Americans that need it most. At the very bottom, he's discouraging Illegal Immigration so that wages rise, promoting a work ethic vs. a Welfare ethic, and bullies companies to think about Americans first before profits. The Collapse will happen on his watch, and rather than run to socialism, he'll let the impossible retirement funds collapse.
I agree with him on immigration, except the "great big beautiful wall," part.... It may be big, but it won't be beautiful. I think it's going to be nothing more than an expensive monstrosity. Most illegals are here on overstayed visas. That's where the primary focus should be. Add drone surveillance and a bunch more border guards. Use the wall money that way, instead.
We don't need a wall to put the construction people to work. He talked a good game about infrastructure during the campaign, let's put them to work on that.
