Deportations could cost the U.S. economy up to $88 billion annually.

    I disagree. They’re not responsible for the lack of media coverage. If all you watch is legacy media, you’re not going to see democratic messaging.

      If there are voters that are only watching legacy media then any approach that doesn’t include legacy media is nothing short of negligent.

        How do you propose democratic politicians make legacy media cover their messaging? Can you explain how politicians having no control over legacy media companies is negligence? I’m not following the logic on that one…
