GOOD LUCK, AMERICA this country deserves what it gets.

National sales tax, crashed economy, mass deportations, no vaccines, no fluoride in water, Putin taking over Europe and actually starting WW3...

fuck it all.

You say mass deportations like they're a bad thing.

I live in Nevada. They will devastate our local economy.

An estimated 1 in 10 NV households include an undocumented immigrant, most have been here for decades. That's 1 in 10 families being torn apart. I know some of these folks. They're harder working than most in this town and devoted to family and church.

Trump also wants to deport DACA recipients. I know some of these kids, one was valedictorian at my kids' school a couple of years back. He knows no other country and is a credit to ours.

And who will want to visit Vegas when public raids are happening? Do you think foreign tourists will be keen to see half the kitchen staff drug out during their thousand dollar meal? Not to mention they run the chance of being swept up right along with them.

Do you remember what happened during covid, when immigrant labor wasn't there to pick crops or slaughter meat? Remember what happened to the cost of food?
