The article critiques Donald Trump's aggressive immigration policies, particularly his approach targeting illegal immigrants in Southern California. The National Guard's deployment and Trump's social media claims underscore his commitment to deportations, yet he inadvertently admits these actions can harm the economy. Trump’s remarks about industries struggling to replace immigrant workers reflect ongoing studies indicating that immigrants do not take jobs from native-born citizens but, rather, support the economy. The situation raises concerns about the consequences of Trump's anti-immigration stance for the labor market and local economies.
His first big campaign - launched against Los Angeles and its surrounding communities, of course - has proceeded with predictably disastrous results.
On social media Sunday, Trump cawed that he has 'directed my entire Administration' to concentrate on identifying and removing as many illegal immigrants as possible as quickly as possible.
For decades, study after study across the political spectrum have shown that illegal immigrants not only don't take jobs away from native-born U.S. citizens or depress their wages, but that removing them usually makes the economy worse.
Trump wrote that farmers, hoteliers and people in the leisure industry 'have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them'.
