Trump's deportation vow alarms Texas construction industry

Rebuttal? That assumes there's anything to rebut. You grossly overestimate yourself and the quality of your shit. It stinks. Sorry, sweetie...it just isn't worth anything.
All countries use tariffs.

that fact is where you melted down.
 
explain why its smart long term to send all the jobs away.

Why don't YOU TELL US? Because, remember, it was YOU that demanded the low priced goods from the companies. And YOU GAVE YOUR BUSINESS to those companies that could get you shit for cheap.

So YOU drove those jobs overseas. Why did you do it?

It's not smart.

it's dumb.

we sent too much away now we're bringing some back.

all nations use tariffs, captain retard.

you must square up to facts and reality.

it will be better for you.

So why did you demand the CEO's move the jobs overseas in the FIRST PLACE????

Why do you HATE American labor so much?????

Like most right-wingers, Trump is selfish and does not care about others. He was very cruel to immigrants, especially to children. He threw them in cages and blocked the abuse from the public. This is not a Christian act. https://baptistnews.com/article/imm...SiJBT0FFhGlKyMC7Ea9LuGYzS5dN0itxoCKPkQAvD_BwE Do not cite the bible s justification for Trump. it is wrong and dishonors the bible as well as America. The evangelicals have already smeared the bible into a justification of Nazilike and cruel policies.

You are life threateningly gullible and stupid to boot. Not a great combination of traits.
 
Do you have a problem with ALL the Trump tariffs Biden has kept and expanded? Just curious.
No but they weren't 30, 40 or more , like the 200 % Trump is talking about , and why the fuck are you bringing in Biden on this , the tariffs Trump were already in place and maybe there were all that inflation you blame Biden for.
 
I"ve tried making this argument to that particular poster earlier. I've worked for companies that were in the process of winding down overseas divisions. It ain't outpatient surgery. It takes a LONG time and it COSTS A FUCKTON of money.

It needs to happen, we NEED manufacturing back on our shores. I just don't believe that the MAGA folks have a CLUE how horrible Trump's idea is for this purpose. It may work in the long term but in the short term prices will be off-the-charts, our exports will crater as retaliatory tariffs hit and overall the consumer will foot the bill.

Why these folks think the days of wine and roses are just over the horizon is beyond me.



Yeah, the whole NAFTA rebrand to make Trump feel like he did something was stupid. Trump will have to negotiate his own brilliant trade agreement, lol.

This is just going to be a huge mess. Trump will be as surprised as his followers at how this will NOT work as advertised.



This won't register with them until the tariffs have been in place for a bit. Then they'll whine about SOMEONE ELSE and try to fix it by blaming THAT group over there.




I agree. I'm ready for it. I wonder if the MAGA voters are. Guess we'll see. Either way we are all going down with THIS ship.
OH I am 100% positive that when it hits them in the pocketbook they will blame everything on someone else It COULDN'T be Trumps fault, He can't do no wrong.
And I can hear them not " Those dame Chinese, Mexicans , Canadians. it will be all their fault the raised their prices and why?
 
they definitely are.

explain why its smart long term to send all the jobs away.

it's only short term profiteering for billionaires.

you've been brainwashed, dum dum.
Again LONG TERM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What are we going to do in the fucking mean time??
Are you ready for price increases of 30 . 40 50% OR MORE???
It is a fact these exporting countries are just going to pass the cost of those tariffs on to the consumer , They aren't going to be the ones paying them the AMERICAN CONSUMER is the one that is going to end up paying them .
And that will end up putting us in at min. a DEEP Recession if not a depression.
IT will TAKE YEARS to build the infrastructure we need to produce everything here.

focus on investing in domestic production.

tariffs are only paid on imports.

it's called structuring incentives and good governance.
 
Clear signals President-elect Donald Trump plans to make good on his campaign pledge to deport millions of undocumented immigrants in his second term has sparked concerns among some in Texas' business and economic sectors who say mass deportations could upend some of the state's major industries that rely on undocumented labor, chief among them the booming construction industry.

"It would devastate our industry, we wouldn't finish our highways, we wouldn't finish our schools," said Stan Marek, CEO of Marek, a Houston-based commercial and residential construction giant. "Housing would disappear. I think they'd lose half their labor."

Let us file this under "Be careful what you wish for/vote for because you might get it."

The deportations won't happen. His corporate masters won't allow it. They'll figure out some way to blame the Democrats, just wait.

HELLO anybody in there???
Do you have ANY idea on just what amount of AMERICAN goods are made with parts that are imported?

The US auto industry alone uses a LOT of imported parts from Chins ( a lot of the electronics ) Mexico and Canada .
And you will need to build factories and that will take YEARS

Ahem...no, it is YOU the consumer as well. YOU demand cheap goods. YOU demand cheap vegetables. YOU demand cheap lawncare.

Those aren't MEXICANS driving the trucks that pull up every morning at 6:00AM at the Home Depot parking lot to pick up day laborers...those are AMERICANS. YOU AND I are the biggest reason illegal immigration exists.

You REALLY want to solve illegal immigration? Start jailing ALL the people who pay for an illegal to work here in the US. Jail them ALL at ALL levels. Not just the greedy developer. No, everyone all the way down to the individual who got a cheap day laborer to clear out some stuff from the yard.

And YOU CAN BE A REAL PATRIOT by being willing to pay MUCH MORE FOR GOODS AND SERVICES. You will GLADLY pay more for the vegetables you eat because they are paying a LIVING WAGE for LEGAL EMPLOYEES. Possibly even native-born Americans!

But you will pay. Because it is you that is driving the issue.

So the fuck what. The free lunch is over.
I hear you crying, poor schlub.
Let Americans earn a decent living. They will be able to support themselves.

You are so very transparent. You jump on ANY argument to support your leftist slave masters Pitiful.
