Can America’s economy cope with mass deportations?

Live Mint  

When Donald Trump takes office on January 20th, deportations will be a priority. “Unauthorised immigrants do not just supply labour for a fixed demand," explains Michael Clemens of George Mason University, “they are a crucial ingredient for production." During the covid-19 pandemic, the National Council of Agricultural Employers ran a survey to find out how many out-of-work Americans would take nearly 100,000 seasonal farm jobs that were advertised for guest workers via a federal programme. Although deportations should mean less housing demand, recent research by Troup Howard of the University of Utah and others finds that removals during the Obama administration exacerbated housing shortages. Mass deportations would not just shrink the labour force; they would also strain public finances.
