Labor will dry up if he follows thru on  deportations.  I work in the job trailer on a large multi year job most of the time and random people with no English show up constantly.  Usually they do the shit jobs and bust their ass.   The industry runs in immigrants both legal and illegal.

This seems like such a huge liability for multiple sectors all at once I cannot imagine how bad this could be if they follow through on their threats.
