Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that the Trump administration’s proposed deportations would be “an absolute gut punch” to the U.S. economy.
Partial transcript as follows:
MARGARET BRENNAN: Let me ask you about immigration. You’re a former governor. Incoming border czar, Tom Homan, has said that there will be massive deportation raids beginning as soon as Mr. Trump takes office. There are just about 300,000 undocumented individuals believed to be living in your state, according to Pew Research. And I know your current governor, Youngkin, has pledged to fully support efforts through state law enforcement or the National Guard. How do you think this is going to work?
KAINE: Well, I don’t exactly know how the administration is going to do it. But let me tell you, I’m hearing significant concerns from many sectors in the Virginia economy, agriculture, hospitality, health care, construction, that massive deportation rates would be an absolute gut punch to the Virginia and American economy. And if you add to that the Trump threat of massive tariffs, I think you’re- you’re going to see a lot of pain for consumers and a lot of pain for employers if they carry through on mass deportation. Now look, you’ve got a president who says a lot of things and then chooses not to do them, so I don’t know exactly what this is going to look like.

Send in the clowns…
It’s worth much more than money Timmy. It’s called survival you globalist, compromised bastard.
The other little Timmy comes up with a stroke of brilliance. ROTFL! Hi! Horsey!!!
Yeah lifelong politicians are economic geniuses.
This cup of coffee is going to be a gut punch to the economy.
So all the people who were hiring illegals illegally and paying them under the table.
Cracking down on THAT practice would help a lot.
Yes, getting rid of worthless, blood-sucking aztec indians who use the emergency room as their primary care, get housing and education for free all the while raping and murdering/stealing— get rid of them and it’s a gut punch to the economy. You stupid whore. I’m not anticipating millions of people being deported but we can dream
Tim Kaine, the legendary economics expert? That Tim Kaine?
More like a Heimlich Maneuver.
Gut punch? Yah,sure Skippy. Hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars are being spent to support these parasites!
I agree. By removing all of the freebies from the freeloaders, that gut punch might just start righting the boat of our sinking economy.
Every picture of the guy he looks nuttier than Dr. Emmet Brown!
I will forever be grateful for 2016 that this 💩 whistle is not getting inaugurated tomorrow!
Kaine crying because his kickbacks will suffer after deportations.
D-VA sums him up, nicely.
Legally employed “migrants” have green cards - all the others have to go.
Recently Florida passed a law that only citizens could work here. See link. A friend’s boy was working construction. The day prior to the law all he heard on his big construction project was Spanish. Then, the site was deserted. Within a week it was fully up and operating and only English could be heard. Apparently, there are Americans willing to do the job. Having been an employer, I can attest that the state makes it as difficult and expensive as any government can to employee anyone. But obviously, when forced to do so, employers will do all the onerous paperwork and pay the “taxes.”
