Study: ICE deportations harm US-born workers, no economic benefit found

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A recent study from the University of Colorado Boulder, published by the National Bureau of Economic Research, indicates that the Trump administration's immigration crackdown has negatively impacted the U.S. labor market. Researchers found that for every six immigrant workers removed from the workforce, one U.S.-born worker also lost their job. The study suggests that immigrants and native-born workers often have a complementary relationship, where the presence of one group enhances the productivity and job security of the other. Heightened Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity has not only led to a significant decrease in foreign-born workers but has also created a chilling effect, causing U.S.-born workers in sectors reliant on immigrant labor to also leave their jobs.
