Summary

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warned that Trump’s mass deportation policy could lead to labor shortages and higher grocery prices.

Experts say agriculture, construction, and healthcare will be hardest hit, with farm output losses estimated between $30 and $60 billion.

Deportations could cost the U.S. economy up to $88 billion annually.

AOC argued that immigrant labor is vital to economic stability, urging Congress to pursue immigration reform.

    I like AOC, but I don’t understand why she just says stuff and doesn’t do anything.

    She could introduce new legislation everyday, be an obstructionist to the neonazi republican agenda.

    Get them on the record voting no to the simple things. Will this stuff pass? No, but that’s not the point.

    Do something, don’t just say sound bites
