The Economic Implications of Immigration Policy

On this episode of Trumponomics, we focus on US President Donald Trump’s crackdown on immigration, what’s at stake for businesses and the economy, what harm has been done already and whether the administration could change course.

Jonathan Levin, a Bloomberg Opinion columnist focused on US markets and economics, and Kate Davidson, Bloomberg’s managing editor for US economic policy, join host Stephanie Flanders to discuss the many consequences of Trump’s signature campaign promise, whether his administration is likely to modulate its policies—and whether there could be long-term benefits to the broader economy of forcing employers to offer higher wages and better conditions to attract the workers they need.
