To elaborate, Trump's enforcement of immigration law is having interesting effects in a lot of areas. And I am not complaining. A subprime auto lender (Tricolor) shut its doors and filed for chapter 7 abruptly after illegal immigrant auto lending went south, as significant numbers of immigrants went home and stopped paying. Not sure if they take the collateral with them and fence it in Mexico or leave it here.

Before Trump returned to office, we would have lots of debates on the effects of the addition of millions of illegals to the economy. Since they were somewhat underground, there was not a great deal of data collection, and the impact was not well understood. In reverse, as they now exit stage left, the subtractive impact will be easier to measure, as they stop paying for their vehicles, once they are back in (fill in the blank).
