I don’t doubt that part of the long-term plan is to keep stifling pay in order to make it so they can extract as much labor from citizens with supposed rights as the can and do from non-citizens without them, but I expect that they’ll primarily just do the same thing they’ve done in the past - make a big show of deporting people, then turn their backs when they just turn around and come back.

That serves two purposes - it ensures that the employers get their cheap labor back, and it provides for another round of “illegal” immigrant panic the next time the Republicans need to distract the base from their awful governing.
