No d’uh. It’s interesting because it’s a more scholarly take, coming from a (notoriously right-wing) “libertarian” think tank.
When you combine the likely cost of mass deportation with the lost fiscal benefits from recent illegal immigrants, reversing the “Biden Border Crisis” will end up imposing almost $6 trillion in costs on U.S. taxpayers.
Did you see the post about private prison stock prices on the rise? When it’s about money, it will definitely happen. The wall wasn’t a money-maker. Using this as a way to replace cheap Chinese labor dependency will make billions.
Guess I shouldn’t be surprised about private prisons having stock, but I am. Private prisons were bad enough, but stock? How in the hell could you even try to make more money while having a straight face? They literally have no incentive to keep people out of those prisons or to have good conditions.
Yeah I didn’t realize it either. Seems like a business that should be a non-profit.

Perhaps once they get out they will be labeled as disabled and will be paid less.

Yeah a lot of people are like, “it won’t happen.” And I sure hope they’re right. Fortunately for me, I live in a state where this won’t be so quick to happen… so I’ll have enough warning to get out.
