Racism is getting to be super expensive. Racists are costing us money and wasting tax payer dollars.
So let's add this up shall we?
-ice are getting 40 billion per year and probably more, it's now more funded than some small countries.
-chain refoulement to put those immigrants in fear of persecution of their countries of origin to another country where that country can decide to take them back on untraceable flights costs 28,000 per hour. And while I don't have a yearly number for that, if they do more than one flight over a few hours each this adds up. This also violated international law but I digress, that's a different issue.
-undocumented immigrants contribute to 90 billion yearly but since we've deported them or many can't work due to fear of persecution from our govt, that 90 billion would be less now.
-tourism is also down as the US has targeted tourists quite frequently. Most countries say not to go and not to spend money here so all the money we got from tourism is no longer here.
Hmmm I can't be bothered to add this all up but it's adding up to be a lot. And it's not even been a year. Plus the tariffs now and a lot of American consumers not just foreign are declining to pay them or just simply returning things.
The stupidity is awe inspiring. I love how we can't afford affordable health care, free education, free public transport. They say no money. But we have like literally trillions to give one agency which is ice. That's so weird how that doesn't add up.
Racism is expensive and racists are going to break us. That's their sole purpose. I've never known racists to be happy people, they want us to sink because that's how they feel about themselves.
Misery loves company and racism is expensive.

Speaking of expensive racism. In the trade war Trump strong armed both South Korea and more recently Japan into essentially undermining their own countries by forcing them to basically babysit and setup factories in the US for US workers.
Well Trump just had the legally employed South Korean engineers arrested and in arm, waist, and leg chains on international TV.
You really think Toyota is going to be so eager to send over their engineers now? Right.
Kiss both of those high tech factory plans goodbye.
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow And all those workers are highly skilled workers too who said they wouldn't go back because they felt unsafe. They even said that they weren't explained what they had violated and still don't know. So yeah two high tech factories gone, hundreds of skilled labor gone.
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow the US don't deserve those workers though, they are skilled enough to take their business elsewhere. Until we decide to not be so hateful as a country more people shouldn't do business with us.
@SatanBurger And who is going to want to come to a country where they may be randomly arrested and locked up and possibly deported aka dumped into a random country.
American companies and universities are also seeing a brain drain from people from countries like China packing up and leaving which is a big issue in the tech sector.
@SatanBurger it no problem for them, they we just included the tax in the cost of buying their products. Cheaper in and long term investments. Because sooner or later you’ll need whatever they have to offer
