Clown.  I'm a first generation American and at no time have I ever said "I am Indian first, American second." But it goes to show you what we're dealing with these days, not only with illegals but even many legal immigrants, and not just Mexicans.

Nearly 1 million illegal immigrants have ‘self deported’ under Trump, which has led to higher wages.

 

One of those tracks relies on arrests and deportations of aliens unlawfully here, which at the outset has focused mainly on criminals (the “worst first” strategy).

 

The other track is more subtle but also cheaper for taxpayers and arguably much more effective —encouraging illegal migrants here to self-deport.

It began with an Inauguration Day Trump directive requiring DHS to ensure all aliens present in the United States — legal and otherwise — have registered with the federal government, and to prosecute those who don’t comply.
…
One way to track the program is by checking employment numbers. One financial wiz cited by the Wall Street Journal calculated a decline in the immigrant population of 773,000 in the first four months of Trump II.

 

The Washington Post claims “a million foreign-born workers have exited the workforce since March.” The Post frames this as “a sign of the weakening labor supply.” Yet the paper also notes, “Average hourly wages accelerated, rising by 0.4 percent over the month, to $36.24 in May, as earnings continue to beat inflation in a boost to workers’ spending power.”

 

In other words, with fewer illegal immigrants, businesses had to raise wages to attract workers.

Unexpectedly.

Are you sure it isn't the Trumpist position? No enforcement actions on restaurants (dishwashers), hotels (maids), farms (pickers)

Absolutely not.

So Americans "just won't do" those hotel/restaurant/agricultural jobs?

Or those types of jobs shouldn't pay the minimum wage?

What is it that made Trump back off on enforcement actions at those worksites?
