Trump's immigration policies may be backfiring on US workers

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

President Trump's immigration policies, aimed at prioritizing American workers, appear to be having unintended consequences. While intended to reduce competition and boost wages for U.S.-born citizens, data suggests native-born unemployment has risen while foreign-born unemployment has fallen. Economists note that immigrants often take on physically demanding or remote jobs that native-born workers are less willing to do, even with increased competition, due to wage expectations and lifestyle factors.

    Trump’s grand plan to put American workers first may be backfiring as U.S.-born unemployment rises and wage growth stalls

    "These jobs are typically ones that are very difficult, very arduous jobs that require a lot of physical hardship, and the native-born workers just haven't done these jobs for quite some time and are in no mood to take them now—certainly not at these wages."
