Study: Trump's ICE crackdown harms US-born workers, not helps

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A recent study from the National Bureau of Economic Research indicates that increased Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity, particularly under the Trump administration's policies, has not benefited U.S.-born workers. Instead, the research suggests a negative employment impact on some U.S.-born men, especially those with lower educational attainment in sectors like construction. The study posits that this is due to a reduction in overall labor demand, as immigrant labor often complements rather than directly competes with U.S.-born workers for specific roles. AI
