NEW YORK CITY - Throughout his electoral campaign, former president and presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump has promised to crack down on immigration, including introducing programs to carry out mass deportations and detention camps. However, economists worry that such projects could bring a massive blow to the U.S. job market.
As a response to Trump's plan on immigration, many economists and business leaders warn that this scenario could trigger higher unemployment and slower growth— while also devastating the country's immigrant workforce, according to The Washington Post. These proposals could also exacerbate inflation.
