In Miami-Dade County, an immigration enforcement crackdown has heightened anxiety among local businesses as they grapple with the implications for their non-citizen workforce. With 60% of the local workforce being immigrants and over 40% lacking U.S. citizenship, the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce, led by Alfred Sanchez, is conducting a survey to measure business sentiment regarding the shifting immigration policies. Recent proposals from the Trump administration threaten to strip protected status from various immigrant communities, amplifying fears that individuals may lose their legal working status.
Immigrants constitute over 20% of Miami-Dade's adult population, prompting concern among local businesses about how changing immigration policies may impact their operations.
Sanchez expressed a desire to understand the local business impact by gathering data to gauge community sentiment on immigration enforcement.
Many non-citizens in Miami-Dade are on alert due to the immigration crackdown, as they could risk losing their work permits and legal status.
Alfred Sanchez highlighted that potential policy changes could render legal workers in jeopardy, adding uncertainty to the business landscape.
