ICE raids are closing businesses and creating ghost towns throughout areas of California. A recent study estimates around 200,000 job losses due to these raids so far, which has local progressives sounding the alarm. Journalistic report. Includes news footage for purposes of commentary, criticism and analysis.
0:06 Huntington Park, California, now feels it has a bullseye on its back because of ramped up ice rates. So almost half the people living in some California towns do so while living in America ill legally. And while the lawless residents of these cities gripe to the news of how ICE raids are shutting down their entire economy, critics say they've got no one to blame but themselves for encouraging people to break the law. And as you're about to see, there's more than one town in America where this is happening. The once vibrant city center has now become eerily quiet. It's nearly 96% Latino and as many as 45% of its residents are undocumented.

A good start.
His parents like it as well.
You may have noticed in the time you have been here that facts are totally ignored by democrats unless they can be manipulated to support their delusions.
Not going, to has, because their birthrate is 2 or 3 times ours. Doesn't mean we can't recover but sadly I don't think we will.
“If they are counting a deported illegal as a job loss”
No worry. They are still counted as population in the Census and that is what counts.

So what if the economy slows for a while. This path of mass immigration (and I mean legal too) was going to destroy us as a traditional nation.
100% correct. Didn't we have essentially a 40-year pause in immigration from the 1920's to the 1960's? We need to assimilate those who are already here legally, even though "assimilation" is now a "problematic" term.
Do we really "need" an ever-increasing population? What will the US look like in the future with 400 million people, and many having nothing to do because AI is able do so much of what we needed people to do in previous generations, even at the "white collar" level? Sounds like a recipe for mass civil unrest.
For all of the grief Japan gets for their declining population and their highly restrictive immigration policies, they may be ahead of the curve here. I applaud their efforts to keep their nation culturally homogeneous. Perhaps they realize more than many do, that automation is likely inevitable in ways that we don't even realize. Just a thought.
The dems just want the census numbers to reflect higher populations so they can pad their congressional apportionment.
As some people put it...
the democrats never changed from being slave owners...
they just changed what it looks like.
“ 40-year pause in immigration from the 1920’s to the 1960’s? ”
Matter of fact it was combined with a least one massive expulsion I know of , “operation wetback”. Something like 1 million illegals returned to Mexico, under Eisenhower I think.
Some this migration was part of the cause of the great triumph of American, our “Golden Age” of the 1950-early 1960s.
Or rather re-migration back to S of the Border I mean.
