The Myth of Mass Deportations

Concerns about mass deportations under the Trump administration are exaggerated, as there is no existing infrastructure to deport millions of people. The speaker reassures that the campaign rhetoric of deporting 20 million illegal immigrants is unrealistic and unlikely to materialize. Additionally, mass deportations would have dire consequences for the agricultural industry since many labor-intensive jobs currently depend on immigrant workers, who often accept lower wages. Consequently, food prices would rise significantly if these immigrants were removed, making the prospect of high-volume deportations unfeasible.
