It raises prices.

Hey, there, right there is your inflation.

And so when you start cutting out all the people who do the jobs, prices go up and economic output is slowed.

And if you compare this to the dominant political narrative on the right, the MAGA talking points, immigrants are.

They're blamed for the budget deficits, the strained public services, fiscal irresponsibility, fraud in daycares.

But the numbers are real, and the numbers show trillions of dollars in fiscal benefit.

Lower long-term debt, higher tax revenues, reduced costs per capita.

And that gap is glaring.

But the right and reality not meshing, it's not accidental.

It tells us exactly what we already know here.

It's just like anything else in Trump's policy.

Trump's not a conservative.

The Cato Institute being a conservative organization, calling out Donald Trump is like the NRA calling out Donald Trump for not being a Second Amendment guy.

Trump isn't a conservative.

His approach to immigration is not conservative.

It's not grounded in free market economics.

The tariffs, they restrict trade.

And American taxpayers pay the tariffs.

Mass deportations shrink our labor force.

Enforcement surges are increasing the government spending, and again, this DHS bill, the funding bill, is skyrocketing spending.
