Immigration has been the engine of growth: in the past 4 years, net employment for US-born civilians has dropped 73k per BLS. Healthcare, Construction, Service sectors will belly up if mass deportations are enforced. This anti-immigration rhetoric is anti-American.

Cutting through the cherry-picked data points from obscure sources and red-herring anecdotes the message is a good one: economics (like politics) is local. Social mobility is the promise of capitalism, but rent-seeking conservatives are a buzzkill.

The irony is that the defense/space industry is leaning towards private start-ups that have made incredible innovations based on federal demand. Muskrat won’t only damage the defense industrial base, but stunt any momentum we made in securing our nation. Of course he’s exempt from the culling.
