Immigration slowdown creates long-term drag on U.S. economy

A significant slowdown in U.S. population growth, driven by restrictive immigration policies, is beginning to impact the economy. Economists warn that this trend, which has few modern parallels, could lead to a long-term drag on productivity and economic output. Research indicates that states with slower population growth are experiencing more sluggish employment, and the effects of reduced immigration could persist for decades, potentially lowering overall productivity.
