    ICEing the U.S. Economy
    Mass deportations will hurt more than people realize

    We don’t know how many workers will eventually be incarcerated and deported. But undocumented immigrants make up around 5 percent of the U.S. work force. It seems plausible that a significant fraction of those workers will be pushed out, along with a number of legal workers snatched up based, as Trump’s border czar has said, on their physical appearance.

    Losing large numbers of workers sounds as if it will be bad for the U.S. economy. In fact, it will be worse than you may think.
