Occupations with the highest share of noncitizen US workers:

1. 49.2% plasters and stucco masons
2. 41.8% agricultural product sorters
3. 38.3% drywall and ceiling tile installers
4. 36.8% roofers
5. 35.6% other agricultural workers
6. 32.5% painters and paperhangers
7. 31.9% flooring installers
8. 30.9% cleaners
9. 28.6% construction laborers
10. 26.8% masonry workers

But all these deportations will bring down grocery prices, assuming you do not want your food sorted, or picked, or anything else.

I've always believed the food all goes to the same place where its mixed up before digestion so why sort it before? 

Also if these folks are working the above then they are getting paid and paying taxes.  They probably aren't criminals and thus aren't the folks targeted for deportation.

How sweetly naive.

Yeah, and that is why NYC and Chicago and Denver along with others budget money for the aliens upkeep so they can go out to the farms and haul food and then come back to the big city and enjoy their comfy digs.   Who's naive in this picture?

By the way, the stucco I can vouch for.   When I worked plastering in Phoenix back in the day, the finishers were all Mexican and they were truly artisans.  When immigration came, the place was vacated very quickly.   No more work for that day.  

We worked in Phoenix near Bell Road and then we got another job doing the same thing but in Gilbert.   We lived in Chandler so thought that was a better deal.   Paid more too.

I know they (Chicago) are going back and forth trying to raise my property taxes again for the second time in 3 years…. To pay for illegals.

You never tire of being wrong. Obama deported 5 million, which was far less than either Bush or Clinton. Maybe that isn't on Tiktok.

[headshuck]

Hillary, Bill, Obama all on record supporting mass deportation.

ABC news wouldn’t lie would they?

You also didn’t answer what negative consequences came out of his mass deportations.   Were they labeled far left at the time?   Were they labeled racist?    Were they anti American? is it just orange man bad fear?

Americans occupy the majority in all fields.  There are no jobs Americans won’t do.

There is a difference between deporting people who have just entered or are attempting to enter and those who have been here for years, or decades and are working in the construction trades or supplying our food. Obama deporting 5 million new arrivals over 8 years is VERY different than Trump wanting to deport 20 million now. The inflation that so bothered you will only be worse.

No it won’t.  Inflation wasn’t caused by union onion pickers.

Aaaah.  You can only deport the new ones?  Weird.  I’m sure that was documented somehow when Obama deported more than any president ever.  
 

You still didn’t tell me why there are no negative consequences to Obama deporting more than anyone ever.  But yet Trump is gonna ruin everything.  
 

if we can deport all the new ones.   Can Trump just deport every single one Biden let in?   They’re new no?

Why do you keep repeating the lie? Just because it works so well for Trump?

And yes time makes a difference. Those who have been here are the guys who mow your lawn, bus your tables, clean your dishes, gather your food, perform your labor, and man 30-50% of construction jobs, an industry already short of labor.

If you can’t admit the guy who deported the most humans in human history from the United States….. was wrong.  
 

you can’t say the guy who wants to deport equal or more is wrong.    
 

Just deport all the new people Biden let in.  Case closed?

Longer answer related to 2, 4 & 5.

I think its hard to tell for sure what the numbers mean.  Was back for harvest in Oct, still had a week of corn before switching to bean.  I'm usually on the combine for beans but was hauling corn to the feedlot.  Basically its dump the semi on a big outdoor pad or into portable augers they have a crew that pile it up 3 locations prob 3 to 5 million bushelstotal, some big piles.  In past the crew was Mexican this year different, I'm not sure.  Usually you expect the head guy can speak English.  This year pretty much all hand signals but one time he needed to communicate so spoke into phone and showed me the English, the words didn't make sense but I knew what he wanted.  Now the question is were these guys year round with the feedlot or just a part season harvest ag crew which is a special visa.  I'm sure they were noncitizens so how does it count?  Guessing this might be #2 but it was all corn not really sorting.

Second example when I was visiting farms related to startup one of the big issues was labor especially truck drivers.  Really difficult to find folks who don't have a dui or accident history.  A couple infractions and you lose your CDL.  One of the operations was hiring South African farm workers for fall operations,  these guys could speak English.  Wouldve been non citizens but temporary work visa. Prob cat #5.

Third example couple years before we moved had hail damage our area of town, bunch of folks need new roofs.  Lot of outside roofing companies were knocking on doors.  We went with one of the best local and a wrestling friend of mine.  When they started the actual  job I had a question, guy on site had to call the guy who spoke English to come over.  Again good chance the crew local contracted were at least part or all non citizens but were they living in US year round or part time workers?  #4
