    the deportations of immigrants and the sudden labor shortage caused by it

    I think you meant, "the round up of suspected immigrants (but we’re not real careful about that), followed by the simultaneous difficulties of returning them to their homelands and national labor shortages; then the increasing “tax burden” of feeding and housing the immigrants with the continuing labor shortage leading to the “obvious and natural solution” of having the people awaiting deportation work in those understaffed jobs.

    Which, if you know any history, is how Germany ended up with concentration camps.

      yeah I just figured I’d prattled on long enough. I’ve watched enough documentaries on WWII and the holocaust to know how it started, and I’m fucking terrified.
