Mass deportation is going to tank the economy. You're already hearing push back from farmers and other businesses on that issue. There are numerous scientific articles that definitively show that the US economy is propped up by illegal workers. And it is going to cost BILLIONS if not TRILLIONS to deport folks, putting a further strain on the economy.
As far as trade policy goes, that's all pretty much doomed to failure. Trump isn't talking trade policy, he's talking tariff wars which crashed the global economy last time it happened. Not only that, automation of manufacturing is at the point where factories don't need the workers they needed before. Hell, the labs that build your eyeglasses are highly automated now and employ a fraction of the workers they did before. Manufacturing won't be a major driver for the US economy.
We need to start on the process getting rid of the friggin illegals. It won't be done overnight and there will be no modern day equivalent of "The Trail of Tears".
We secure the border, ship all the criminals out and then work on the others. Probably won't get all of them but in eight years we can get rid of a a shitload of them and that will be good.
We don't need them in our economy being a burden on our government services and welfare system. We sure as hell don't need the gangs, criminals, welfare queens, disability assholes and the children costing our school system.
We will see what Trump does. Hopefully he will do what he says. That will be refreshing for a politician for change, won't it?
