Impact of Immigration Policy on the Economy
Mass deportations proposed by the Trump administration could have devastating implications for the U.S. economy, particularly regarding food supply chains. A significant portion of agricultural workers and meatpackers are immigrants, with many undocumented, highlighting the reliance of the food industry on these workers. Paul Krugman argues that a sudden removal of these individuals could cause major disruptions, leading to skyrocketing grocery prices. This reality may prompt a backlash from Trump voters who could find themselves facing the economic consequences of policies aimed at reducing immigration.
