On February 3, an immigrant strike occurred in the U.S., driven by backlash against the Trump administration's policies targeting immigrants. The protest aimed to illustrate the vital role of immigrants, who make up nearly 20% of the workforce. The organizers have called for similar future protests, emphasizing that without immigrants, the economy would face severe challenges. Nearly 29.7 million immigrant workers contribute significantly across various industries, underscoring the economic impact if such workers were to disappear as envisioned by the government.
The protest called for all immigrants, over 47.8 million, to demonstrate their impact by staying home from work and school.
If the president's aims were realized, it would remove all immigrants, leading to devastating economic consequences for the U.S.
Immigrants comprise nearly a fifth of the workforce, crucially supporting sectors like manufacturing and professional services.
The economic contributions of immigrants are immense, with an estimated 8.3 million undocumented workers significantly impacting the U.S. economy.
