I don't think Markwayne Mullin understands just how dangerous a heresy he committed by suggesting that immigrants can help the US economy. He undermined the entire core mythology of MAGA. Final thoughts on all this here: newrepublic.com/article/2138...
All this exposes MAGA’s real position: Mass deportations must be carried out *even if* they hurt the economy. They should be prioritized *over* economic concerns. The goal is not primarily economic: It’s about ethnically purging the country. newrepublic.com/article/2138...
It's funny that the Trump admin keeps accidentally admitting that immigrants benefit the economy, and MAGA keeps raging at them to shut up about it. Remember, Trump vowed to help prevent farms from losing good immigrant workers. Stephen Miller quicky shut it down. newrepublic.com/article/2138...
What triggered MAGA was Markwayne Mullin saying we should fix agricultural visas. The real transgression was Mullin admitting immigrants can help the economy, and that reform can *actually achieve this.* MAGA wants migration to be seen as fundamentally unmanagable. newrepublic.com/article/2138...
