They won't be deporting "workers" they will be deporting illegals. Why are you people so opposed to preventing people from entering the country illegally?

Your average illegal with their 6th to 8th grade education, aversion to school, complete lack of trades skills, isn't doing much of any sort of job that's a career.
Agriculture is the same way. You can automate most of that leaving only a need for a relatively few skilled workers.
Automatic lettuce picker, cutter, cleaner, and bagger.

Wow. You are completely ignorant about how farms work and how the CPI is calculated.
Increasing the wages for field workers doesn't affect the weather or cause demand to be constant. Many fruits and vegetables will still vary in price based on season, weather and other factors like disease.
Food and energy is not excluded from inflation. It is excluded from core inflation which is not the standard for calculating inflation since CPI-U is used to calculate inflation.
Here is the October release by BLS.
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.2 percent on a seasonally adjusted
basis in October, the same increase as in each of the previous 3 months, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
reported today. Over the last 12 months, the all items index increased 2.6 percent before seasonal adjustment.

The "illegals" that are doing work will need to be replaced with others to do the work or the jobs will go unfilled and prices will rise as supply drops due to worker shortages.
Are you ready to pay $10 a gallon for milk? $15 a pound for hamburger?

I dont drink milk and it's already more costly than a gallon of gas and you don't utter one word about it. As to hamburger it's half that now if not more. Besides all that nothing you have said means the workers MUST be illegal.

He's plotting to circumvent the Republican Senate for his cabinet picks. He has the House figuring out a way he can run for a third term.
Supposed mainstream Republicans in the Senate have proven their cowardice twice during the impeachment trials. It will be fascinating to see how they react to trump altering the balance of power by removing them from the equation when he appoints incompetent or dangerous billionaires and Russian operatives.
Will they tell trump that if he dares to do that, he will never get any bills past the Senate during his tenure?
Or will they just lick his ass the way they had the last time he tried to destroy the nation?

trump will not be deporting anyone. He used that as a campaign propaganda ploy, just as the did with lies about a terrible economy, 'illegals' murdering women and children, and whatever other nonsense that the masses devoured.
Trump's plan "to become Hitler 2.0" if he has one will get about as far as would his plan, if he had one, to write an immortal epic poem. Both are well beyond him.

There are only 7 million unemployed people in the US.
The plan is to deport 20 million people.
How many of those 20 million have jobs? Who will take them since there aren't enough US Citizens looking for work to fill all the jobs?
Are you going to force the retired 70 and 80 year olds to go back to work in the food industry?

Irrelevant. Not a single one of you dipshits has yet been able to show that any of the jobs that you claim will go undone MUST be filled by illegals.
Hardly irrelevant. But the problem is that if you deport all those here illegally and don't increase the numbers of legal immigrants then the jobs won't be filled at all. Trump has promised to reduce the number of legal immigrants allowed into the country so no one will fill the jobs. That means the jobs will not be done. That means supply will go down. That means prices will go up.

People are allowed to enter legally. To tell me we must allow illegals into the country to fill jobs is intellectually lazy and pure bullshit.

If the Fed min went to say 20.00 an hour than the price of everything will increase. It will cause inflation since inflation is an increase in prices
There are limits on the number that can immigrate into the US legally. Trump wants to reduce that number even more. If we have 7 million jobs that aren't filled and are only allowing in 150,000 immigrants that means most of those jobs will not be filled which mean prices go up.
What is lazy and pure bullshit is your inability to understand simple math and simple economics.
Was that part of Trump's plan? A $20 an hour minimum wage?

Again irrelevant. Limits can be changed and things can be altered. Allowing millions over the border illegally for work is a bullshit argument.
You're intellectually lazy and just plain stupid.

What's the legal limit now?
Are you telling us Trump lied about how he will reduce the number of immigrants?
