Oh, you mean it's NOT obvious to you that a business owner would seek to replace a worker that's gone, whether that's due to the employee quitting, retiring, dying, or being deported?Blackvegetable » Yesterday, 1:50 pm » wrote: ↑ Because it isn't "obvious", in fact it isn't - at all.
The study estimated that between 51,000 and 297,000 of the lost jobs would have been held by American-born workers, as businesses that rely partly on immigrant workers scaled back operations for everyone, including US-born employees.
In the 86 cities that saw the sharpest rise in ICE arrests, they found roughly 13 lost jobs associated with each excess arrest. Industries that traditionally employ a large share of undocumented migrants, like construction, saw the biggest impact. But employment in sectors like arts and entertainment, where few immigrants work, also fell sharply. The authors said that’s because businesses cut staff as people stop going out when ICE raids dominate the news.
“Enforcement at this scale and speed — visible, shocking, designed to produce fear beyond the directly targeted population — destroys jobs, disrupts businesses that Americans own and run, and depresses the local economies in which Americans live and work,” Marcela Escobari, Ian Seyal and Paul Beach wrote in the report.
With such stupidity as you've detailed, any business that an ignorant dope like you tried to start would undoubtedly fail within days!
Here's what you liberal idiots fail to understand.
If a worker gets deported, there is no guarantee that an employer would be able to find a replacement at the same rate of pay, nor should there be. If it takes an additional $2 an hour to higher a replacement, then THAT is the adjusted cost of him doing business, and he's free to adjust HIS price to the market accordingly. That increase shows up as INCREASED WAGES, which is a positive for the country as a whole. Regardless of that rate of pay, a business owner WOULD NOT simply refuse to hire a replacement unless it was at the same salary of the illegal and choose instead to let his crops rot in the field or give up construction of a job he has contracted to build simply because it would cost him a few bucks more.
And that's why your article is pure ****. It's released like that by the far-left Global Economy and Development institute specifically because they KNOW how dumb and gullible you stupid liberals are and how easily they can manipulate you into whatever left-wing cause they want you to swallow.
Congratulations on being such a thoroughly malleable puppet and a gullible sap!
