Ruben Navarrette : President-elect Trump 's promise to deport as many undocumented immigrants as possible threatens devastating consequences for U.S. economy.

He says we have a hypocritical relationship with undocumented workers who keep America 's agricultural, construction and hospitality industries humming.

Some economists estimate that half of California 's 900,000 farmworkers are undocumented, he says.

He asks: Without question, this country’s immigration system is broken.

The restaurant, Pages , was sort of an upscale diner, with a long counter, a pie case and booths along a picture window at the front.

Every so often, the Spanish -speaking men who worked in the kitchen warned each other that “la migra” — the immigration authorities — were on their way.

Those who were apprehended and deported would soon return to work after sneaking back across the border.
