Carrying out “the largest deportation operation in American history,” as Trump has pledged to do, will wreck the US economy. It will deliver no material gains to the vast majority of his supporters, who benefit from the underpaid labor of the undocumented and the resulting cheapness of commodities. From a purely economic perspective, exploiting the labor of the undocumented provides more material advantages to Trump’s supporters than deporting them ever could. Deporting a million people in one year will cost eighteen times more than the entire world spends annually on cancer research.

In other words, mass deportations are a costly luxury indulgence that Trump’s supporters see as worth the expense because they experience the need for violence so intensely.

The solution to low wages is worldwide solidarity against the billionaires who exploit and oppress. Deporting people is performative violence intended to channel anger away from those who cause our suffering.
