You think they were coming to deport Ohtani? 

I thought about replying something clever like, "I wouldn't bet against it," but instead...

You missed the point.  Whoever Sandy Loam is listed "Murcan" things like baseball, hot dogs, and apple pie.  I added the Dodger's bloated payroll to the list of such things -- buying championships is the American way! 

HTH.

Construction costs about to go way up with all these Home Depot arrests

Sure, okay.  You're still not going to be able to keep your slaves.  We're going to take them away from you no matter how hard you fight to keep them.  Just like last time.

No change for me.  I don't break the law and hire illegals, so they were already sky high.

Tim is going to be PISSED, though.  He'll actually have to provide an American a decent wage and health insurance.  Maybe even a 401K.

Of course, with guys like Tim, you don't get rich paying people a decent wage which is why this is going to be a problem for him.  He'll vote to make sure YOU pay Americans a decent wage, though.

Think he’ll have to cut his own lawn? Who will clean his house?

Most normal people (including me) don’t hire illegals.  But many hire companies that likely hire illegals.   

I think I’ve said this before but I wouldn’t be so sure that mass deportation will be a good thing for legal workers in the home improvement industry.  Less consumers will be able to afford the costs, resulting in reduced demand, and companies might go out of business rather than eat the higher costs.

No chance.  People are really really stupid.  They'll spend their life savings to remodel a bathroom if the neighbor down the street does.

Keeping up with the Joneses is a thing.
