Trump immigration clampdown may threaten Americans' jobs, wages, economists say

January 26, 2020 3:54 PM

Farmers say they are planting less, turning to automation, eliminating some crops, leaving them to rot in the field or contemplating selling out of the business altogether – all because they cannot find enough immigrant labour. About 7.6 million unauthorised migrants work in the United States, amounting to 4.6 % of the labour force, according to the Pew Research Center, and the share is shrinking even as demand for workers is strong.

Employment for US citizens fell by 0.7% in communities where authorities deported a half million mainly Hispanic immigrants between 2008 and 2015, according to research published in December by economists at the Universities of Colorado and California. In Mexico, an aging population and falling birthrates, among other factors, mean that US neighbour to the South country is no longer the largest source of migrants, Randy Capps, research director at the Migration Policy Institute, told AFP.
