In Topics: Immigration Stupidity Trump
There's been so much good news on the immigration invasion counterattack lately, but no, why would I be tired of it? That "tired of winning" line from Trump never made a lick of sense. What I do get tired of is seeing hopeful moves on this existential problem go nowhere. Trump is not very good at following up on what comes out of his mouth. (Sometimes that's a good thing, though!)
We'll see about the actual deportations based on the latest great news about the ending of the "Temporary" Protected Status of many hundreds of thousands of first Haitians, now Somalians. Next, Trump's told us of the banning of importation of people from so far 19 countries. It's not George Carlin's exact list of words you
Afghanistan, Burma, The Congo, Equatorial (NOT Polar) Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela*That's 5 continents with shitholes in them. I think I kinda got that out of 6th and 8th grade Geography.
We all want to see action, but this talk is heartening at least. What is more heartening is real and personal reporting from a friend of changes due to the Trump Administration's work against the PRP. Operation Charlotte's Web was a big story a couple of weeks ago, you can probably recall. We've got some related news.
There's a big house this friend is involved with, not a McMansion but an actual mansion by my estimation, in the Charlotte area, that needed a new roof due to hail damage. It's a BIG roof, as the place is more rambling than the kind of mansion we usually picture. The cost is upwards of $90,000! Yes, that's the price of a small house 20-30 years ago, and yes, it's too much. However, as my friend discussed, the insurance company is willing to pay that. That this amount is about the same as the total of all his premiums he's paid over the years really makes us both wonder. He says the price is nuts, but if the house sells, that's just a selling point - "It's got a new $90-something thousand dollar roof!"
The big news he told me is simply this: This roofing project has been delayed due to the effect of Operation Charlotte's Web. In other words, the illegal aliens that would be doing it don't feel so comfortable coming out of the shadows and into the sun right now. Will that remain the case? Will the roofing company worry about who its Spanish-speaking workers actually are, or they just laying low until the ICE storm has passed? Would the company even think about hiring Americans, with that increased labor cost... that doesn't mean a hill of beans as compared to the money they will make on this roof?
The deal is, if every roofing company really had to hire Americans, they would still be competitive and make lots of money. As it is today, if you're the one patriotically hiring actual Americans at a higher rate, you'll lose the bids. Any difference you might charge for based on better quality (if there IS any) will not be known about until that 30 year roof starts leaking 5 or 10 years later. By then, nobody is held accountable.
Now, as usual, I need to limit the length of these posts. Just pondering some of the economics of the roofing business had me thinking of 3 more posts. One of them will be based on the "Con" below, another will be about the breakdown of the costs of, and profit taken, from this big roof project, with simple calculations done in various ways to check "Does It Make Sense?", and another will be about a different type of illegal alien labor.
A bigger question than those about this one big roof, would be, is it wise to have the ICE agents detain illegal aliens very publicly as in the Charlotte's Web operation? It surely helped in this case, as it's not likely the couple of hundred illegal aliens detained, of many 10's of thousands (maybe 100's) in the region, just happened to be part of this particular roofing crew! That's one of the pro's of doing these public displays, whether intended to be public or not. Peak Stupidity has discussed before the ratio of self-deportees vs forced-ones back 71 years ago during President Eisenhower's Operation Wetback. Over the 4 southern border States, it varied from 6.25:1 to 9.75:1. I can imagine it going even higher in the current media environment. By all means, Regime Media, bring us some big sob stories!
The big con (as in pros & cons) of the public method is that opposing forces, the ctrl-left judges and others still in control of the Institutions, will have big targets. Instead, imagine continuing a quiet, steady program of a few dozen, maybe a hundred, illegals taken in to custody in each of a hundred large or medium sized cities daily. The numbers will add up, yet how many judges in how many jurisdictions has the ctrl-left got? How big a story can you make to promote your newsroom when the same thing is happening in a hundred other places? There are a lot of Home Depot parking lots, and there are a lot of Chinese Buffet restaurants**!
The one personal anecdote shows evidence of Deportation Nation having at least SOME effect on the labor market.
* Only 40 years ago, this was the crown jewel of Latin America. It really is a shame.
** Yes, them too. I did some quick math in my head on whether these big buffet places could still exist and how it would work out were these ladies out of Fujian (mostly) arrested. Another thing about the Chinese - Indians too - is that THAT news would travel fast. Imagine having to go home across all that distance! Send a few of them home, and they will surely stop coming.

PS
There are more than a few Federal Judges of dubious citizenship provenance… maybe round up a few of them for good measure. At least a third of the DC Circuit, IIRC.
It can’t be too bad for Cabal though, because unlike inconvenient journalists, there don’t seem to be many Federal judges having mysterious accidents. Clearly they are following the plan.

Yes, that would be a very good move, arresting some suspected illegal aliens working in the "justice" system. It's not quite related, but Washington State has illegal aliens as prison guards. A uproar about it occurred, but I guess it's just OK. (I guess ICE would have to get them when the come in to work or go home.)
