    They aren't harboring anyone....wait a minute.......so we should arrest TRUMP? Since he is a convicted felon?????

    Is Washington DC harboring a fugitive? Why would that matter to you guys now? YOU ELECTED A CRIMINAL - you have no credibility on the matter.

    Greatly reducing the undocumented workers being hired and employed, will raise prices, raise wages and create an increase in inflation. If that is less important than the immigration issue, people need to prepared and accept that will be true. Businesses will need to find a way to adjust if they want to survive.

    With the stakes being that high, it is likely that the government would work to find a way to streamline and expedite the immigration and citizenship process. That would help, but still wouldn't eliminate the inflation altogether.

    Great! Charge, arrest, try, convict, and imprison him. That isn't really a very good counterargument to what I said. You are just agreeing with me and pointing at another criminal.
    That already happened, you may have missed it. The mug shot was released and everything.
    No, he is pending sentencing. So far as I know, the City of Washington, DC is not refusing to cooperate with efforts to detain Trump and present him to the court.
    Who did I elect?

    I have fantastic credibility, on this and every matter.

    Your psychopathic takes on migrants and the amount of money you are willing to allow the federal government to spend on such a massive endeavor says otherwise.

    Libertarians used to not be ultra psychopaths about immigration

    And yet, I have provided you with video evidence that proves that you are wrong (and of course, that I am right).

    I am not sure you understand what a fugitive is. Trump is not wanted by any agency. You give KPJ the benefit of doubt, why don't you wait until Trump exhausts his appeals before condemning him? I am guessing his criminal record has a chance to go away.

    Economic fear mongering.

    Plenty of OECD countries don't have 10s of millions of illegal immigrants and have economies functioning perfectly fine.

    The United States economy functioned perfectly fine before 10s of millions of illegal immigrants started to come into the country via the southern border.

    Undocumented workers have been a part of our economy pretty much since we've had an economy.

    Extremely vague and not very responsive.

    How does Japan do it?

    How does South Korea do it?

    How does New Zealand do it?

    How does Iceland do it?

    Plenty of examples of first world economies where people enjoy very high standards of living where there are very few illegal immigrants.

    I'll let you ponder why a larger economy requires additional workers. Think about the variety of industries and jobs. Think about how low the US unemployment is and if there are people willing to do all the jobs needed.

    You're just being vague because you don't have a proper response.

    There are plenty of examples of OECD countries with little to no illegal immigration and they still need the services those persons perform in the U.S. economy done in their economies.

    They still eat produce, they still need construction workers, they still need maintenance and landscaping, they still need food service workers etc etc

    Those countries also have free healthcare too, or at least affordable. If only we considered that a high standard of living in this country. What a relief that would be to hard working Americans to not have to spend an arm and leg to simply get treatment when they need it. Nobody should have to spend half their retirement checks on healthcare plans when they get cancer or some other serious illness.

    Actually it is because I'm not sure how you don't understand the size of the economy wouldn't make a difference in needing more and cheaper labor. So I was just trying to think of a starting place for you look at off the top of my head. Figure it out however you'd like it.

    Clearly I don't understand. Explain it to me.

    Japan is the 3rd largest economy in the world. Japan is the 12th most populace country in the world. Japan has 124 million people. Japanese enjoy a very high standard of living.

    Japan has virtually no illegal immigration.

    Why does the U.S. economy require illegal immigration to function but Japans does not?

    Japanese Population = 124,517,000
    U.S. population = 334,915,000

    So U.S. has nearly 3 times the population. They need more workers. Our unemployment is near historic lows. This means that people seeking employment will have more leeway in demanding a higher salary. That is different from undocumented workers who have little leeway, because they face the threat of deportation. Thus they will do less desirable jobs for less money. Employers have to spend less on wages, benefits, etc. If the employers will have to spend more, they will have to charge more.

    Japan has 3,684,049 businesses.

    United States has 33,185,550 small businesses alone. That doesn't include corporations and larger businesses. Us. has far greater demand for employees.

    We can keep going. But let's start with that.

    Also, I didn't say that it required it. But it does depend on it to keep prices down and do work others won't do. It will require our economy to shift and change.

    Because that's how we've had things, it's the way our economy is set up.
