It’s amazing how mass deportations would solve most of the problems the Millennials and younger are facing.

Housing is too expensive? Deport the migrants and it lowers the demand for housing. Let the private equity firms die as they loose all their money from speculating on houses they don’t live in.

Jobs aren’t paying enough? Deport the migrants who are competing for those jobs and boxing out Americans. Our citizens shouldn’t have to compete with the whole world for a job in their hometown. Don’t let the corporations fire Americans and hire migrants for pennies on the dollar.

Taxes are too high? Deport the migrants who are a net drain on the system. Save billions of dollars annually by deporting fraudsters.

Healthcare costs are high? Deport the migrants who get subsidized healthcare and burden the medical system.

Traffic is too heavy? Every migrant deported is a space on the road that opened up. It also reduces the number of uninsured drivers, and illegal and dangerous CDL drivers who can’t read road signs.

Crime rate is high? Deport the migrant criminals, and walk safely in your city.

Want better education outcomes for your children? Deport the migrants and class sizes get smaller, and costs go down.

Want a high trust society? Deport the migrants who are not interested in our country or its history, or values.

“One of the poets, whose name I cannot recall, has a passage, which I am unable at the moment to remember, in one of his works, which for the time being has slipped my mind, which hits off admirably this age-old situation.”

Crazy to think how 18 months ago I had been job hunting for over a year and didn't think I'd ever get a lawyer job, and now my biggest problem is making sure the three jobs recruiting me run the interview process in parallel so I can pick the best one.
