Impact of Immigration Policy on Labor Market

The aggressive approach to illegal immigration is expected to tighten the labor market significantly, particularly in low-wage sectors where illegal immigrants predominantly work. As these workers leave the labor market, employers will be compelled to offer higher wages and improve working conditions to attract new talent. This shift could result in better economic conditions for domestic workers who are finally able to demand more from employers. Over the longer term, this may catalyze necessary investments in productivity and training, leading to improved job conditions across the economy.
