Erosion of the American Dream: Restrictive immigration policies and consequences

Hindustan Times  

The Trump administration’s recent immigration policies mark a significant shift toward stricter enforcement and border controls, aligning with its broader objective of reducing both legal and illegal immigration. This policy shift could discourage skilled workers from seeking employment in the US, pushing talent toward countries with more favorable immigration policies, such as Canada and Australia. In conclusion, the Trump administration’s recent immigration policies represent a decisive move toward restriction, with profound implications for the economy, legal system, and international relations. As global trends shift toward stricter immigration controls, the US must carefully consider the broader consequences of these policies to maintain its economic competitiveness and uphold its historical legacy as a nation shaped by immigration.
