A report from the Fiscal Policy Institute highlights that New York State has 670,000 undocumented migrants, with 42,300 in restaurants and 48,500 in construction. These workers are essential to the state's underground economy amidst threats of mass deportations and stricter immigration policies under the Trump administration. The report warns of broader repercussions on non-citizens, including those with temporary visas and various protected statuses, emphasizing the potential economic devastation should these individuals be targeted.
The immigrants most vulnerable are those who are undocumented. But the impact does not end there. People who have temporary visas may see them terminated.
The report warned that even non-citizens here legally are also in the crosshairs as Trump eyes restrictions on legal immigration.
