Who will cook the meals, mow the grounds and clean the rooms? And it's c k'm not just the undocumented who will be affected by this. He doesn't know what he is in for.

millions of American citizens will line up to take these minimum or sub-minimum wage jobs.

Or ignore the fact that undocumented workers are used intentionally by big businesses to suppress wages.

Jobs locals used to get good wages here but are now taken mostly by undocumented workers:

Lawn mowing
Landscaping
Building Houses
Painting Houses
House Cleaning
Chamber Maid
Store Cashier
Shelf Stocker

Those jobs were decent paying jobs the locals used to have.

The cashier and shelf stocker jobs being union jobs which were also good as entry level jobs and summer jobs.

I started out working as a cashier at a grocery store before going to University and during Summer breaks. I was a landscaper working for myself. My brother was a lawn mower. My friends have all done those jobs.

And the lowest jobs of picking veggies and dishwashing? Also done by friends as extra money with dishwashing where you start before you work your way up to being on the line.

Meatpacker
Drywall hanger
carpenter
plasterer
and numerous other formerly union jobs.

Yes, it is amazing how relatively recent history is so soon forgotten.

Only the brown ones--the "other."

He wants undocumented Eastern European immigrants so he can pick his next mistress/victim.

And they were speculating (Jim Ward, Stephanie and one other person whose name escapes me) that VP Mike Pence is the source of all the White House leaks - because he's trying to speed up the process of becoming President!

is about unintended consequences. Any laughter at this plan of Trumps should be sardonic laughter.

If so, then someone should have brought this up during the election. I thought the closest we came were some Polish workers employed by a construction company that Chump had hired back in 1980?

If this is just some type of big joke, it seems to be in bad taste.
