I love these interviews with people who have boots on the ground. Abby McCloskey's point that Trump's crusade to deport immigrants would be felt first in Texas (and other places with similar demographics,) would be extremely disruptive and frightening. A lot of industries would slow to a crawl without immigrant laborers, affecting everyone in the country. The price of meat and crops would go through the roof with few people left to process and harvest. I fear the disruption and panic stirred by a Trump presidency would leave us vulnerable to a stock market crash and easy pickings for another terrorist attack. That said, how do we promote stability in the countries where people leave by the hundreds of thousands to escape violence and poverty?
