The recession can't be avoided. Nether candidate can stop this recession from taking place. The federal reserve has worked hard for years to postpone it, and nobody knows exactly how long that'll last. Since 08 they have conducted the largest, most unprecedented monetary experiment the world has ever seen in history, with massive amounts of quantitative easing, artificially low interest rates, all in order to reinflate the bubble economy. It will pop, and there's nothing Trump or Hillary can do to undo the damage that's been done. You can deport all the illegal immigrants you want, and it won't undo any of it.
