Deep dives
Immigration Policy and Economic Impact
The appointment of Tom Homan as border czar raises significant concerns regarding immigration policy and its effects on the economy. Homan is known for advocating a robust deportation strategy, which could lead to a decrease in the working population in various sectors, notably in construction and services. This reduction in workforce may create upward pressure on wages, subsequently impacting inflation rates, as businesses may need to compensate for the lack of laborers. Observations suggest that this shift could also modify the landscape of legal immigration, potentially complicating the labor market dynamics.
