The article discusses the potential economic consequences of proposed mass deportations by the Trump administration. Experts warn that removing millions of undocumented immigrants could lead to substantial GDP losses—over $1 trillion, with estimates ranging up to $1.6 trillion—while shriveling the labor force. Contrary to common misconceptions, research shows that immigrants contribute positively to job creation and wage growth. Historical precedents of immigration restrictions suggest that similar policies have had detrimental long-term effects on the economy.
"Research has long found that immigrants don't steal citizens' jobs and wages; they help grow the economy for all."
"If Trump achieves even part of his mass deportation goal, it will almost certainly wreck the economy."
