Recent studies suggest ICE raids and stricter immigration policies are worsening workforce shortages across the United States. Many immigrant workers fear deportation, especially in labor-intensive industries such as agriculture, construction, and hospitality. As a result, fewer workers are available to take these physically demanding, low-paying jobs. President Donald Trump claimed stricter policies would protect “Black jobs” and benefit U.S.-born workers. However, many of these jobs still remain unfilled across the country. Some experts argue these labor shortages also hurt U.S.-born workers and contribute to the failure of businesses dependent on this workforce. In this episode, I discuss the impact of current immigration reform on America’s labor market.
