I can see that becoming very costly very quickly but the results remain murky.Missouri lawmaker proposes bounty system to report migrants
Other proposals would create new state offenses for immigration and fine cities for sanctuary policies.www.newsnationnow.com
That's some outside-the-box thinking, but I have to say part of me is very uncomfortable with the concept of reporting people to the government. It's a bit Orwellian for my taste.

This is exactly what I was thinking of. I'm guessing no one bothered to call and report the congress critters who were getting their hair done and going to parties during all this.It kind of reminds me of this:

Someone's Palm Beach neighbors are going to wonder why the cost of upkeep of their mansions is rising. Others who don't live at that level will definitely notice the prices of other commodities rising. I know everyone has pointed this out before but it is true that legal US citizens will simply not work for what people doing a lot more jobs than we might realize are paid. I will resent the higher prices and truly feel for others who will truly suffer due to it. I'll just find the Palm Beach types funny. They "winter" here and "summer" in Newport or at "the cottage" at Lake Whatever and vacay in another country. They host charity functions for obscene amounts of money per ticket and have "work done" until their faces no longer look human---- but will still be disgruntled and think it a bother that some of their servants and all of their maintenance services cost more. I already think they're ridiculous, bigoted people so their upset over this will just be funny.Critics of Trump’s mass deportation plans argue that he’s promising to remove millions of immigrants from the U.S. and that’s logistically not possible. But Kobach and other Trump allies think only a portion of those migrants would have to be deported for the effort to succeed.
KOBACH: “Once there’s a massive enforcement effort going on, then a lot of people start leaving on their own.â€Â
“You can put a multiplier on that number, and it’ll be a much greater number. They will start leaving on their own because they don’t want to get arrested. They want to leave on their own terms, and so I don’t know  we don’t know  what that multiplier number is going to be, but there will be one.â€Â

A key Trump ally on immigration explains how mass deportations could work
A Kansas official who’s an informal adviser to President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team on immigration issues doesn’t expect mass deportations to prompt arrests of migrants at sensitive locations such as schools and churches.
I didn't read the article, but his premise is undoubtedly correct. The last scare about crackdown, which was pre-Trump, Alabama practically emptied out of unpapered people. The chicken processors over on Sand Mountain couldn't find workers and some shut down. If you needed a new roof, you were out of luck. At the time, I remember thinking that the "mixed family" phenom was a large part of it. Even the "legals" didn't want to be separated from family...Critics of Trump’s mass deportation plans argue that he’s promising to remove millions of immigrants from the U.S. and that’s logistically not possible.

Talk to a roofing contractor, landscape operators or farmers and they will tell you that trying to hire the class of people who are US citizens and they will tell you that they can be hired but will not show up on time or not at all and are never dressed properly for the weather. These Hispanic workers literally prop up our economy. It is difficult to calculate the impact we will experience.
Relief at the gas pump has already come. The best he can do with grocery prices is keep them near where they are now except for a few (ie eggs), they wont be going back down..
We will see how far fuel prices can decrease. I’m not convinced they are as low as they can be. If they go down further then there is room for pretty much all goods to come down some. Everything comes on a plane, train, truck, or ship. If the cost of producing and transporting those goods decrease so will the price. We won’t see them where they were, but some decline is possible.
If he starts the tariff war he's threatening, then you will see increases instead...
There is already room for other goods to come down, but the companies don't want to give up their increased profit margins.
If one breaks in a certain market or part of the economy the rest will have to follow.
