Question regarding wireless companies and mass deportations

(personal note: I retired from Alcatel-Lucent, now Nokia, with 43 years service with GTE/AT&T/LUCENT/ALCATEL-LUCENT/NOKIA, so have a mass of shares to worry about)

It hit me that almost everyone has/needs/is dependent on their cell phone regardless of economic status. I reviewed cell providers, and there are many that maintain their own networks, not just the big 6 of VZ, T, TMUS, USM, and Boost.

Should mass deportation become a reality, has anyone considered how that might affect wireless stocks? I understand, much more important parts of our lives will be destroyed as well, but this is an investing forum. TIA
