    Bullshit. They want those workers scared that they’ll be deported because being afraid of that will keep their wages low and keep them compliant. This is good for the larger construction companies who employ those workers.

    I’m going to make a prediction. If I’m wrong then I’ll admit it. I think they’re going to do one wave of very loud deportations, quietly abandon it, and relax the borders briefly to fill the spots that were left by that wave. Just enough to scare the absolute shit out of migrant workers into working, coming home, not putting their kids in school, and not peeking their heads out until it’s time to make agriculture and construction companies money.

    This is drunk speculation.
