Rep. Marlin Stutzman warned that President Trump's mass deportation plans could lead to an economic crash. Trump has intensified deportation efforts, targeting undocumented immigrants without regard for criminal records. Recent raids continue despite reports indicating a potential easing of such actions. Stutzman highlighted concerns from local farmers regarding workforce availability, stating that uncertainty is impacting labor stability. Rep. Glenn Thompson also noted that the previous rationale for inaction on immigrant worker policies is no longer valid, suggesting that changes to immigration law may be necessary to address workforce needs.
I have people they call me. They're like, I'm not sure if my crew is going to show up for work Monday morning, because if there's a raid, or something like that, right? If you try to deport all of them, you're gonna crash the economy.
The excuse that we've had from not taking steps to pass measures ensuring certainty and availability of workforce has been that the border hasn't been under control. That excuse is gone.
