Deep dives

The Economic Role of Undocumented Workers

Undocumented workers are essential to the U.S. economy, as they contribute significantly to various industries, particularly agriculture and construction. Approximately 70% of agricultural laborers are foreign-born, with nearly half lacking legal documentation. Without their labor, agricultural output could drop by 60%, resulting in drastic price increases for food products like milk and orange juice. This economic reliance highlights the vital role these workers play in sustaining the American way of life, making the case for compassion rather than exclusion.
