Impact of immigration policy

@Nina said in Impact of immigration policy:
I expect many Trump voters are rapidly entering the FAFO phase
I suspect many voted for Trump to sock it to the immigrants (and pwn the libs); some may qualify that to "illegal/undocumented" immigrants, but many are probably just as happy to get rid of all immigrants. Immigration handling is probably still the aspect of Trump's administration that gets the highest approval ratings.

When the UK Brexited Europe there was concern about who would pick our fruit crops, as its far too hard work for us Brits to want to do. Government got around it somehow.
This year, the driest sunniest hottest half-year for over 100 years, means our crops are being harvested early but yields are down by 30-40%.
And yet as hosepipe bans are considered for some areas, this is Aysgarth in Yorkshire over the weekend:

Jermaine Thomas, whose very citizenship was once the subject of a U.S. Supreme Court case a decade ago, was forcibly removed from the United States last week and deported to Jamaica-a nation he had never seen-leaving him unequivocally stateless. Thomas, born on a U.S. Army base in Germany to a U.S. citizen father who served nearly two decades in the military, now faces a desolate future without a recognized nationality.
"I'm looking out the window on the plane, and I'm hoping the plane crashes and I die," Thomas confided to The Chronicle from a hotel in Kingston, Jamaica, to his despair. He was reportedly shackled at his wrists and ankles during the journey to this unfamiliar land.
According to court documents, Thomas is not a citizen of Germany, where he was born in 1986, nor of the United States, despite his father's extensive service. He also holds no citizenship in Jamaica, his father's birth country.
Thomas's perplexing status stems from his birth abroad to a military parent, a legal grey area that led to his case reaching the nation's highest court. The complexities of his origins ultimately led to his expulsion from the country he had known mainly, despite his father's sacrifice.
