Consumers will have a hard time paying $16 for a $10 t shirt when avocados cost $10 because all the fruit and veg pickers have been deported. But this doesn't matter because rich Americans won't be affected. The poor ones can stop buying t shirts and just eat pop tarts.
I heard that the total average cost of deporting each illegal immigrant is $10,000.
The private contractors will make out like bandits. Ironically a less corrupt and right wing government could probably structure those contacts to provide an economic stimulus.
