Mr. Vance emphasized, "We cannot have an entire American business community that is giving up on American workers and then importing millions of illegal laborers. It's one of the biggest reasons why we have millions of people who've dropped out of the labor force." His perspective highlights a belief that undisciplined immigration practices hinder opportunities for American workers and reshape employer-employee dynamics.
The article points out that despite efforts to engage with economic arguments, much of the political push for mass deportations comes from concerns over crime and law enforcement. This reflects a broader fear within the conservative movement that immigration undermines the safety and integrity of communities.
In evaluating the impact of cutting off undocumented workers, Mr. Vance noted that as the supply of labor decreases, employers will have to compete harder for a limited pool, potentially leading to wage increases. This dynamic was highlighted during the pandemic, where jobs requiring in-person attendance saw swift wage growth due to labor shortages.
