Donald Trump’s proposed immigration policies, including mass deportations and stricter border controls, may have significant economic consequences.
Economists predict higher prices, increased labor shortages, and slower job growth in industries such as construction, hospitality, and healthcare.
While his administration plans to start with undocumented immigrants with criminal records, fulfilling the larger goal of expelling millions faces legal, logistical, and financial challenges. Experts warn that such actions could raise inflation, reduce economic growth, and disrupt industries heavily reliant on immigrant labor, leading to long-term consequences for the U.S. economy.
