I always assumed that undocumented workers were paid ‘under the table’. But it makes sense to have them/some be on payroll for the employer. Can’t be having zero people on payroll when there’s obviously employees.
Another notch on the board against all the idiots that think immigrants are a threat to a country built by immigrants.
If I had infinite cosmic powers, I’d remove immigrants from countries which hate immigrants for a month. They’d go to some kind of pleasant dimension where all their needs were met, like a really nice holiday. And, back in our world, everything which immigrants work hard to achieve while getting little respect for it wouldn’t be happening, and it would be a shitshow.
And then I would make all the people that didn’t learn to stop being fuckknuckles from that experience live in their own bellybutton for a month.
I remember watching A Day Without a Mexican when it came out. Low budget, but it’s a similar idea to yours, except a magical fog surrounded California 🤷🏼♂️
Make it three months. It would take at least that long for the loss of their labor to start being felt across the board. Undocumented immigrants are vital in some of the damnest places and their absence would not e particularly noticeable at first.
I think their loss would be felt immediately. Meat in stores would become rare and incredibly expensive (guess who works the meat-packing plants) as would produce. Many/most restaurants would close down. People would instantly take note of disruptions to their food supply - just like during COVID.
The elderly and people with elderly family members who rely on (relatively) cheap home care from undocumented workers would notice the problems right away, too.
Stuff like overgrown lawns, no new roofs going up and a massive slowdown in new house construction would take a bit longer to be apparent.
