Those living in states targeting illegal immigrants..?
Let me say.. I own a small business in L.A. and ever since Trump rolled out his 1st attempt at mass deportation, I’ve seen an overall complete economic malaise on Main Street(s) in Los Angles..
Main Streets in Los Angeles absolutely depend on migrant/immigration workers in many specific ways.
They provide the owners the businesses labor which in most cases keep the businesses up and running
These workers take their pay and shop smaller stores in order to take care of their family needs..Food, Rent, and other basic necessities.
These smaller store owners then take their profits and purchase items from bigger businesses, Retail Outlets, Automobile Dealerships, Sporting Events, Higher end retailers, etc.
And at the end of this Chain are the Mortgage Companies, Banking Conglomerates, Car Lots, Higher End Retailers etc.
This is exactly how Trickle up Economics Work.. When it works, it works well, but IMO ever since The Republicans stymied Obama"s economic infrastructure plan? Our economy at the Main Street Level has really struggled.
To sum up, At this moment main street America is in really poor shape.. I have many friends who own shops on the streets of L.A. and most of them can not afford to wait out this Malaise much longer.
This being said? Deporting the backbone of main street labor... will be almost impossible to recover from.
