Trump spokesperson..America doesnt need big job growth anymore because of deportations [View all]

Peter Navarro, senior counselor for trade and manufacturing to Donald Trump, was speaking on Fox News last night.

We have to revise our expectations down significantly for what a monthly job number should look like. When we were letting in 2 million illegal aliens a day we had to produce 200,000 [jobs] a month for steady stay.

Now 50,000 a month is going to be more like what we need. Wall Street, when this stuff comes out, they can’t rain on our parade, they just have to adjust for the fact that we’re deporting millions of illegals.
