The report, Economic Impacts of Trump Administration Immigration Policy,
was commissioned by America’s Voice and conducted by researchers at Economic Insights and Research Consulting, a firm focused on economic analysis.
Its conclusions underscore how recent federal policies revoking immigrants’ legal protections or targeting them for enforcement
have had dire effects on the nation’s affordability crisis and job market,
especially in regions and industries that rely disproportionately on foreign-born workers.
In the US agricultural sector,
where 42% of crop workers are undocumented and 68% are foreign-born,
farmers across the country are warning that the vast majority or in some cases all of their workforce has disappeared overnight,
leaving produce to fall to, or rot in, the ground and go to waste.
Food products heavily reliant on immigrant labor have experienced much sharper price increases than food overall since Trump retook the White House, according to the report.
