With Trump's mass deportations, who will rebuild our disaster-stricken cities?

Recovery would be painfully slow without skilled and unskilled foreign-born workers.

    I see the “The real problem with deportation is the removal of an abusable, slave-wage class” articles are back.

      Lemme just look at my modern history book here… Looks like all the hard work ever was done by the Bible, rich white politicians, plantation owners, and boot connoisseurs. Everyone else lazily benefited from social welfare. Huh, the more you know, right?

      Obviously /s, in case attempts to revise history made this sound convincing

    Rebuilding in disaster zones without designing for the climate, and expecting different results is insanity.

    Homes should be built to account for natural disasters. For example built on stilts in flood zones, built to withstand high winds in tornado zones, built partially underground to account for fire prone areas.

    Not all these designed would “look uniform” across a country as large as the USA and might not fit the propaganda of the american suburban single family home unfortunately.
