Experts criticize Trump's immigration policy for being detrimental both to individuals and the economy, estimating it will cost $26 billion and affect immigrant-reliant industries. Nayna Gupta highlights that the administration's orders are not just targeting criminals, but all immigrants, pushing for Congressional opposition to these costly measures. Emphasizing a need for humane solutions, Gupta insists that American values demand effective and fair policies, framing the need for advocacy and proactive solutions to combat these measures.
The fallout is not limited to the human toll but extends to a massive economic burden: an estimated $26 billion to fund the policy, along with billions more in lost productivity across industries.
Gupta argued that the Trump administration had taken the election as a mandate for cruelty on immigration, outlining immediate action to hurt all immigrants.
It will be up to other elected officials and organizations like us to be prepared to put forward a vision and solutions that get us to a better place.
Americans want something that is effective, efficient, fair and also humane. And that is, in fact, quite doable.
