Trump's Mass Deportation Plan Faces Economic and Social Backlash
Experts warn that Trump's proposed deportation strategy could severely impact the U.S. economy and disrupt millions of families.
- Trump's proposal aims to carry out the largest deportation operation in U.S. history, targeting millions of undocumented immigrants.
- Economists predict significant labor shortages and inflationary pressures if the plan is implemented, as undocumented workers play crucial roles in several industries.
- The economic fallout could include a GDP decline of up to 6.8% and a loss of $97 billion in tax contributions from undocumented immigrants.
- Critics argue that mass deportations would result in widespread family separations, affecting millions of U.S. citizen children living in mixed-status households.
- Proponents of the plan claim it would lower housing costs and increase job opportunities for legal residents, but experts dispute these economic benefits.
