Many dreams have been brought to the border

“Mass deportation will be a labor-market disruption celebrated by American workers,” Stephen Miller said in late 2023.

But as I wrote here before Trump's re-election, researchers estimated that large-scale deportations would result in fewer jobs for Americans, not more.

Yes, that does say it all.
