    How many people do you think would be affected by his deportation policies? I’ve heard a number of around 10 million, and that’s 3% of the population, which, while absolutely terrible, means that the other 97% isn’t going to really care.

      Those 3% (going by your math):

      Pick crops

      Contribute $90 billion or more in tax for the county via sales tax.

      Without those people, we have no food, and immediate inflation begins. You know, the thing everyone was bitching about that was literally caused by Trumps inaction on COVID.

      This affects EVERYONE in the US.

      I know the last time he was in office his immigration policies made it impossible for some people families to come over. I worked with a couple people struggling with that.
