Navarro has repeatedly (and falsely) claimed that "illegals" were taking the jobs of Americans, including in this very interview.
If that's the case, then why is he now warning that job growth will slow amidst mass deportations? Shouldn't this be boom times for native-born workers?

Peter Navarro: "The jobs report comes out tomorrow. We have to revise our expectations down significantly for what a monthly job number should look like ... Wall Street has to adjust for the fact that we're deporting millions of illegals out of the job market."

We want them to stop using excessive force and violating people’s rights. Masks embolden the worst agents it gives them anonymity. Masks make it difficult to document who commits crimes and civil rights violations. They lead to more abuses. ICE wants no accountability. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Ron Johnson: "Why would they to remove their masks? Because they want these officers exposed, they want them afraid, they don't want to carry out their enforcement actions. They want judicial warrants, which would completely neuter ICE's ability to apprehend"

Again, lies. Illegals do not and never have been able to 'file for unemployment', though they pay the tax as part of their paycheck most of the time. So they are not a factor in these numbers. In fact, deportations should decrease unemployment numbers. But they won't. Because #tRumpenomics suck.🤡
