    Well, no shit. If bigots got their wish, and could wave a magic wand to deport all “undocumented immigrants” instantly (or immigrants with documents Trump doesn’t approve of), large swaths of the economy would collapse overnight. Employers who had gotten rich exploiting the vulnerable would suddenly be forced to pay competitive wages. America as we know it would abruptly become very different.
