The good news is that if Trump wins all those lawn mowing, house cleaning and crop picking jobs that the uneducated white Trump supporters are just chomping at the bit to get will become available.The most unattenuated assessment here to date, and that is hard to do.
The employment rate will skyrocket. In fact I'm headed over to the Home Depot lawn section right now to check out some mowers and fertilizer prices just in case. The future's looking bright.
On the other hand if Hillary wins I won't have to work at all. As long as I am willing to stay poor and under big brothers thumb I can suck on the American's tax payers tit.

Not mine. My grandfather and father were homebuilders and they built whole subdivisions without any illegal labour. You know what they did do? They hired a lot of African American and other minorities that otherwise might not have had employment. This country now has the lowest rate of workforce participation in generations. The reason is wages have been driven down to unlivable levels because of all the peons and surfs from peasant countries here now willing to work for almost nothing. Poor Americans don't see the point in working for nothing so they drop out and live with relatives or go into a black market job advertising on Craigslist or somewhere. Maybe some of the providers around here might know about that situation. And don't tell me that the price of a house will go up when the subcontractors have to pay a living wage for their labour. It will all come out of the sub's profits because what they've been doing is reporting that they're paying higher wages than they've really been paying and pocketing the difference. When the illegals are gone wages will go up but prices won't. The only change will be that the employers who have been gouging will lose their windfall profits.

Not the politicians in Washington, not the illegals, not the contractors hiring them, but YOU!! And by the way you mean Serfs not "Surfs" smart one.
