No d’uh. It’s interesting because it’s a more scholarly take, coming from a (notoriously right-wing) “libertarian” think tank.
When you combine the likely cost of mass deportation with the lost fiscal benefits from recent illegal immigrants, reversing the “Biden Border Crisis” will end up imposing almost $6 trillion in costs on U.S. taxpayers.
Saying that just makes the right wing excited.

Did you see the post about private prison stock prices on the rise? When it’s about money, it will definitely happen. The wall wasn’t a money-maker. Using this as a way to replace cheap Chinese labor dependency will make billions.
Guess I shouldn’t be surprised about private prisons having stock, but I am. Private prisons were bad enough, but stock? How in the hell could you even try to make more money while having a straight face? They literally have no incentive to keep people out of those prisons or to have good conditions.
Yeah I didn’t realize it either. Seems like a business that should be a non-profit.

Perhaps once they get out they will be labeled as disabled and will be paid less.

Yeah a lot of people are like, “it won’t happen.” And I sure hope they’re right. Fortunately for me, I live in a state where this won’t be so quick to happen… so I’ll have enough warning to get out.
