It's not like this hasn't been a somewhat frequent kind of post on DU.

Mock Trump because his deportation numbers are tiny. Be outraged that he's deporting so many that he's going to wreck entire industries, because the waves of deportees is "yuge."

The only way to make the circle even slightly eccentric is to say that the threat of deportation has had a chilling effect on labor, so that those who came for economic security are hunkering down. Since they're billed as all poor, indigent, and truly needy, I don't know how'd they'd survive, but at least it's a suggestion.
